Nicer! Sturdier by far! @Beakertwang

 

[BGinGA]

Are these equal to or nicer than the spirit molds?

Yes.

 

[SeanGecko]

btw, this are flipping awesome, kind of regretting buying paulson racks now.

One issue @dmalhi1 they are a bit more delicate so a few may be shipped with a bit broken off.

FYI

i suppose we can't always get what we want.

 

[Beakertwang]

Yes.

I suppose I was asking either/or. Do they have any advantages over the spirits?

 

[Poker Zombie]

see... the spending never ends! this is a gateway drug....

Gateway drug? Once you start buying chips, you won't have enough money to buy drugs!

Chipping: saving lives since 2005.

I have dropped them on the floor and they don't break. I haven't had one flake.

lol. i'll have to commit petty crimes once the chips are here in order to acquire the paulson racks and pelican hard cases.

Unfortunately (?), I recently purchased ~3000 Spirit molds, so I could only talk myself into 975 of these

I wish I had a video camera right now to film the Fedex guy's reaction to all these boxes he's taking out. It's hilarious!

Oh man I did that early this year. Thankfully not 3000

It's a very nice crisp mold pattern, if you like 'busy' molds -- and much better than the reverse-J mold used by Progen chips.

The material composition used for early PGI chips is different than other china clays -- much more clay-like and chalky. These 8Vs (and the 4d14-spotted versions) are top-tier china clays imo.

 

[Beakertwang]

@BGinGA, so these and the spirit molds (I have some solid grays, and several of the 4D14's) are basically the same material?

NOPE!!!

Different materials? I'm planning on using these with early PGI solid whites and oranges for the $1s and quarters... do you know if this is going to lead to dirty stack issues?

I believe you will have issues with the stacks being different heights I believe. There are pictures of this if you google search,

Better than majestic and Pharoah?

 

[SeanGecko]

I will say so. The black chips are all the same size no oblong.

 

[saleen121212]

Also what size label is needed so I can get to work with gear?

 

[SeanGecko]

@Gear knows!

 

[saleen121212]

@Gear knows!

1.1 inch. Had to read back through the whole thread but found it.

 

[BGinGA]

I would put those two right behind the early PGI cc chips. Desert Palms and original Dunes commems on the same level as Pharaoh's, spirit molds and everything else a another notch below.

Wow pretty excited now considering the Pharoahs and majestic are so popular. I actually kind of liked the majestic sample set I had... Until I got mint Paulson's. Not a big China clay fan but for this price it's a no brainer. Essentially dice chip prices for a chip that @BGinGA considers above all other CCs? Done.

 

[Beakertwang]

NOPE!!!

That's right. They made the 4d14's with the Private Cardroom label, didn't they?

 

[BGinGA]

Yep, one of the best -- if not THE best -- china clay sets ever.

 

[saleen121212]

Wow, now to pick a label. Does anyone that ordered have any cool ideas that they don't mind sharing? I'd love to just use @Ronoh pillage and plunder theme, but I'd want his permission and I'd feel like it's blasphemy to put them on a chip this cheap. Digging the pirate theme and his is the best by far, if you can't beat em, join em.

Are there any design templates out there for inlays? I’ll need to design and have inlays made as well.
