I dined on take out yesterday.

I love this and I love seeing everyone's different style of board! I make my own boards so I am currently sitting at around 20 some at different stages of completion. If anyone wants to add a board to their collection, I am offering 25% off on a few of my Raised Style chessboards!

It's $80USD to ship to the UK and probably some custom's fees once it arrives.

They are very nice!
trouble uploading pictures!
ChessBazaar Red Rum set in Bud Rosewood and natural boxwood, ” king. Lovely set, fabulous knight. The image is uploaded, but when “post” is selected, the image disappears. Bummer
I own a dozen chess sets. Non generic heavy plastic pieces unopened. And I have brand new not opened, 5 DGT North chess clocks. Anyone in Metro Manila who has extra space lets put a club or a mini chess playing center. Who knows someday it will grow big and become a historical club.

Me after playing a poor move against the guy taking the photo. My board and pieces. He failed to exploit the error.

I have between 25 to 30 different sets of pieces, and several different boards. I have 2 of @bborkowski's boards currently and have been considering a couple of others. I also have many tournament boards in vinyl and mousepad styles, and several other wood boards from HoS. Some boards just work better with certain sets, while others work with just about any pieces. I didn't start out to be a collector, and many of my sets were gifts, but all together it seems like quite a collection. I try to rotate them ever few weeks, just to show them some proper love.

I have 45 vinyl club set and 8 personal sets, one board made of butterfly wings, framed and hangs of a wall. 1 demo board and about 30 clocks battery and windup. . .
I have sold at least a dozen clubs set to youngster I was training for $8.00 . . .
This board was made in Brazil around 1925. Those butterflies are on the endangered species . This board was a present to me. . . By a woman at a used book store that knew I was into chess. Her father was a merchant marine and bought it in Brazil . . .

Enjoy the experience! Collecting can be fun and educational along with taking care of any spare cash you might have on hand. 
Twenty six!
To be honest, since I was quite careful putting the collection together, I'm pretty satisfied. That's my rational, knowing the wife won't continue to cook for me, if I buy anymore.
Hahaha, I wasn't quite as careful so I'm looking forward to a nice can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli tonight!
