Title: Hello from Denver! (and the other PCF)
Post by: justsomedude on April 24, 2017, 05:17:37 PM

Hi everyone! I'm more of a chip nerd, but stumbled upon this forum after a few years in the poker chip collecting community. I'm also a frequent poster over on the other PCF (pokerchipforum.com), and wanted to join up here to help Jason (with Desjgn) promote his newest deck offering in the Plethora thread.

Here's hoping to rubbing elbows with you all soon!

 ;)

Welcome.  Fairly new myself as well.  What's the "coolest" poker chip you have in your collection?  Do you specialize in a certain type etc?

Hey - welcome.  I've seen some Desjgn decks made available on Kickstarter - they were good, solid designs but the price points were just too high for many people and there's more people into collecting paper decks (I seem to recall that his were plastic).  That's the tough part about selling plastic decks to collectors - they're always going to be at a price disadvantage, even when compared to some high-end paper decks.  The fact that a plastic deck will outlast a paper one by a huge margin unfortunately isn't enough of a difference to make the price point a non-issue.

If you have any questions about the forum or cards in general, don't be afraid to ask.
