OK, as long as everyone is revealing their inner Scrooges, in general, my bottom ten of chips I don't like:
1. TRKs (with a possible exception for orange Mapes $5s).
2. Any casino chips not bearing a location (e.g., Empresses).
3. Any tri-moon chips besides Treasure $1s and ES 20s/25s.
4. Any brown or tan chips.
5. Any BCC chips, after being ripped off by them on GCRs.
6. NPS chips lower than 25 denom.
7. WTHC chips higher than $100.
8. Hot stamps.
9. Any chips reading "Capital Room" instead of "Capitol Room".
10. Ritz, Palais des Congres, CDIs, Milanos, SPMs, Avalons, or any chips bearing skulls or skeletons that weren't made by the Zombies.
11 (bonus!). Any chips from casinos in Ohio.
This is how I keep my chip numbers under control...

I agree that hotstamps are excellent either solid or spotted; however, I prefer the latter. I like a simple spot pattern that doesn't vary per denom.

I would be happy to help with #5 by taking those horrible Blue Ridge BCC's off your hands

I got these out and took this picture just for you, sir:
Note that the chocolates (of which I currently have 1400) will eventually be a custom-labeled limit set. On the off chance that you make it my way for a game, I'll put a city on the label.

I see why some would have an issue though... got enough red, yellow, and white spots???
Right? Theyre called “Capital”, but they have an image of the Capitol (capitalized), which is in the capital (not capitalized), and I don’t have enough capital to buy them. I hate those chips!

What would your chip numbers look like out of control?
:wideeyed:
Iirc, the guy who made them (seitz333) lived in western VA and had dual Virginia Tech and Washington Redskins allegiances.
Hate is a pretty strong word, but I'm not very fond of any of these:
- any chips with artwork featuring skulls, skeletons, cowboys, cartoons, or actual photographs
- any clay chips with super-grand or giant inlays
- chips made on these Burt/ASM/CPC molds: hourglass, H-mold, Roman, die-card, plain-mold
- chips made on BCC's flame and sun molds
- chips made on GPI's RHC and roulette molds
- chips made on TRK's large crown mold
- 39mm hybrids & 43mm large-recess hybrids
- most ceramics (a number of notable exceptions, however)
- pretty much every china clay chip ever made
- any slugged plastic chip, including high-end versions
- pretty much any plastic/ABS chip, including interlocking 4g plastics

This one surprises me a little bit. Is it just the aesthetic or is it performance-based?
Both, to varying degrees. It works very well visually for old-school and certain themed sets, but the actual mold design itself leaves a lot to be desired from a play perspective (including spinner issues).
I wholeheartedly agree on the bullets I singled out above. Nevada Jacks in particular pretty much go out of their way to make me want to loathe them.

On the flipside, I love the Nevada Jacks Saloon Series. Other than the color of the 5k, I think that's quite a good value for a basic tournament set.
I have 1,300 H mold chips and zero spinners. Never heard any complaints about this before.

Flush
Well I did get a not too small amount of H mold spinners… but nearly all of that was transport damage due to freezing.
I agree with most of your list, except for the grand inlay part. To be fair though if I actually owned a set of grand inlays I’d probably change my mind. Slick chips annoy me.
I owned a set of hourglass chips, they annoyed me greatly.

After seeing other threads, I’m reminded that I can’t stand any ceramic chip with faux molding. Yuck

I've actually seen several sets with faux mold markings that looked really good......... in pictures. Not so much IRL.
Sal's ceramic Rounder's chips with their faux star mould markings looked awesome. Just the right tint to emulate worn chips. Sadly they are gone.
Exactly the same thing for me, Casino de Mexico 5s mint still remember what I ate for breakfast that day... now I just handled TRKs last week so I think it’ll be easier on my wallet if I just go jump off a bridge.
Also wanted to give a huge thanks to @saleen121212 for creating this thread. Took some balls to make a thread about chips he dislikes on a poker chip forum.What chips or style of chips do you dislike, even if it is controversial? My top 3 will really piss people off so I will wait until others go
It also showed how varied everyone is in what they look for in a poker chip and has made me more appreciative of the people who don’t like the chips I do, won’t be sniping them from the WTS threads before me, and won’t be bidding them up in auction. For that, all I can say is thank you for having horrible taste in poker chips!
Oval designs on chips. My brain just can’t handle an oblong shape on a perfectly round chip. Really the only one that makes me cringe every time is the Royal Yaks. It would have been my first set if it weren’t for the oval design.

I knew I couldn't be the only one around here that didn't like some very popular chips, I see the prices and how quick some of the chips sell that flat out do not interest me at all and it left me scratching my head, but the beauty of chipping is everyone has their own likes, dislikes, and grails.
I don't like:
1. Ceramics or plastics. (I do like BJ chips though)
2. Hot Stamps - I like inlays.
3. Cleveland Horseshoe - Don't like the inlay.
4. Any chip above 39mm.
5. Cips with non traditional colors. I like blue 1's, red 5's, green 25's, black 100's, purple 500's, yellow, 1000's, orange 5,000's.
6. Plain chips without edges pots.
7. Inlays the same color as the chip.
8.Casino De Isthmus chips.
9. Any mold with lots of letters.

For me, it's the King's Crowns. I don't think I could stand to play in a game with them.
