So the 2mm Deluxe came and it is wonderful. I now cringe and my counters with imperfect dimensions. I may need to reorder a copy of everything.

Only heathens play with unclipped counters. If you're not going to clip them, you may as well store them in Plano too. :facepalm: -- jim
I do not clip counters period! I preserve them under glass, frame and display them..................dah!

Almost as bad. They should be stored in Raaco and played with. That is their purpose. To not play with them is to insult them. Why do you hate ASL? :cry:-- jim

This is why I say:

Before you EVER start clipping counters, make absolutely sure that you will do it the perfect way because otherwise, it will always gnaw at you that you haven't. Same with counter storage. Otherwise you'll eventually pay in time, money, or both. ;)

I just bought an Oregon clipper. I've done thousands with nail clippers. Doesn't gnaw at me one bit. I've got many many hundreds of hours of fun out of those counters.

As for organizing counters, I've done that like five times. It's like a bonus hobby!

There should be a sticky thread called "Counter Culture" or better yet a reality show. Ultimately the stars are hospitalized, jailed or medicated for their various psychiatric disorders, deviant behaviors and crimes.

Here is my non clipping player's take on 2mm vs 2.5mm aesthetics. Use the 2mm for the 1/2" and the 2.5mm for the 5/8", that way the corners are more in proportion to the pieces.

Make sure that you order the Deluxe version.
The normal one maimed some of my counters.
Agreed. The deluxe is the way to go. Though I really do not want to start clipping ASL counters. There are just so many that would need caught up on..... YIKESo_O

Peace
