Controversial Chip & Poker Opinions
This is potentially the ugliest set of chips in existence. All the chips in the set are pretty much a variant of the same 5'ish colors. What were they thinking??!

They couldn’t spend a couple pennies to align the faux clay edge spots?I’ve only seen them used for a few WPT events during the year end WPT championship tourney series.
They may have gone Chipco bc the WPT
championship wynn chips are also chipco.
Maybe bc WPT pays for them?
Or bc steve wynn is gone and they cut corners now.

Wynn has a long history of hideous chips, but people tend to excuse them because they're simple or classic.This is potentially the ugliest set of chips in existence. All the chips/spots in the set are pretty much a variant of the same 5'ish colors. What were they thinking??!

I’m certain WPT provides them and Chipco/Wynn sponsored them.Wynn has a long history of hideous chips, but people tend to excuse them because they're simple or classic.
These Chipcos, with Chipco written on the edge? Eff that. They better have been provided for free, in exchange for the free advertising. I hought that company didn't exist anymore. Did somebody just buy the name?
Was thinking about it just for fun, and here’s my chipper/chipaholic scale:
1 - you’ve bought your Tina/TCR/CPC/1st set and yet you still browse PCF
2 - you play only cash games 95% of the time and yet you want a tournament set for “security” since the group you play with has only been friends for 20 years (or vice versa)
3 - you collect sample sets, dealer buttons, and/or multiple single chip card cappers (+0.5 if they’re in a plastic case)
4 - you want multiple sets so you can rotate them
6 - you have spent time overlabeling
7 - you have oiled/baked chips and read 20 pages about it
8 - you have murdered/relabeled chips
9 - you have built a perfect custom set for which you spent hours removing the original labels, then found racks with marginally better colors/edgespots and replaced perfectly fine chips with slightly better ones
10 - despite painstakingly creating your perfect custom set in #9, you want more

Yo, if you are simultaneously looking at both the faces and the edges of poker chips, you're clearly not paying enough attention to the fucking game at hand. Priorities, bro.They couldn’t spend a couple pennies to align the faux clay edge spots?
Controversial chip and poker opinions. See above.Is this the Things that are bullshit thread?
It's the latest iteration of the Game On Chip Company, reaching back to their early roots in the casino gaming business. "Chipco" still has some latent brand name recognition in the industry, unlike GOCC.Wynn has a long history of hideous chips, but people tend to excuse them because they're simple or classic.

Finally, someone I like that I can disagree with. Paulson Vineyards top 3 set all time for me.Paulson Vineyards are mediocre at best. CAMB
I think they're one of those sets that were really cool back before there weren't many casino sets available. But as more sets have come to market, they're less fantastic, more nostalgic. I dunno, that's what I say about any giant inlay RHC set that people seem to like.Paulson Vineyards are mediocre at best. CAMB
I agree with both of your statements. Dunes won't crack my top 10, but Vineyards will make it into my top 10.Finally, someone I like that I can disagree with. Paulson Vineyards top 3 set all time for me.
I understand objectively why they aren't all that to all people, but for me they were a top 3 when I saw them the first time and remain so. I think people feel about them they way I feel about Dunes though. Dunes I don't think would crack my top 10.
I wouldn't argue with you about the dunes. I just love the big 43mm chips!Dunes I don't think would crack my top 10.
Agreed!This is potentially the ugliest set of chips in existence. All the chips/spots in the set are pretty much a variant of the same 5'ish colors. What were they thinking??!

So what were u doing bidding on dunes chips the other day? Must be #11 on ur list lolFinally, someone I like that I can disagree with. Paulson Vineyards top 3 set all time for me.

So you think making a Woollagio set is not a good idea?Tina/ceramic chips that are basically ripoffs of an old casino chip but have just the slightest name change or detail suck balls. Billagio? Mick Hobson's? Who are you kidding. Just copy the fkn chip, no one cares if you have fakes in your 10c/20c game. Jesus
More WPT Chipco chips (wpt cruise event)Yo, if you are simultaneously looking at both the faces and the edges of poker chips, you're clearly not paying enough attention to the fucking game at hand. Priorities, bro.

Yeah, those are pretty horrid. Sorta like PAULSON CHIPS mold if the letters were filled with white paint to stand out more.
Didn’t we see some chips in the Maint Event for like one single year that had a Paulson plastic insert on the rolling edge?Yeah, those are pretty horrid. Sorta like PAULSON CHIPS mold if the letters were filled with white paint to stand out more.

These? Those are interesting edge spots.Yeah, it said WSOP, right? I remember there were lots of complaints about the spot pattern being a cat whisker pattern.
I, myself, thought it looked great and would love to have a playable set of those. Unfortunately there's no opportunity to get it nor the funds required to do so
I know we are all different...thats quite obvious from our dramatic likes/dislikes. However, I have no idea how this is possible from such a long-term active member.Never say never, but I will never create a set of chips through CPC. I've never had the slightest interest, I've never created a real mockup. In a way, I collect those for display because I personally don't have the eye or desire to do my own.
Nope. These:
