Heh. I remember having the exact same opinion when I first joined. Only took a few months and my view changed.
They say If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

they don’t look like trash. Some of them look very cool. They’re generally an inferior product to inlaid chips, but that’s no reason to shit on people who love them.
Blessed be the hot stamp lovers, because their denoms will eventually rub off.
Definitely not shitting on anyone. I'm sure I like many things people don't like. Just saying a controversial opinion in a thread meant for controversial opinions.

So the most common bare minimum set is 200/200/80/20 for $1/5/25/100s
Is 180/200/100/20 or 180/200/80/40 better than 200/200/80/20?
180 is a barrel of $1s for 9 people, and substituting a barrel of $1s for $100s gives you a bigger bank.

People who make custom sets based on some tropical place/other nature and claim the reason is their super meaningful vacation they took one time 12 years ago…
Just be honest, you wanted to do a colorful set.
And I’m not hating, some of these sets are my favorite. I just want some intellectual honesty!

The dream is to eventually host enough poker to where my hot-stamps do wear off.

There’s difference between controversial and wrong
There's no such thing as a wrong opinion. Stupid, inane, heretical, uninformed, mind-bogglingly irritating, deserve-to-be-banned-if-uttered, but not wrong.

In theory yes but with my OCD I end up with 200/200/100/100 instead more often den not
THC mold can be inserted into a mixed house mold lineup for a particular denom. Any mold for that matter as long as condition and clay is similar.
So far I'm just not seeing the appeal of the Paulson hat and cane chips... there are so many better looking molds out there. I mean, I like them fine and all, and I think I'm going to wind up with a set of solids at some point because I do like the look of the vibrant solid colored chips but so far I'm enjoying the feel and look of the LGKs and mixed ASM/CPC racks from @Spinettis Gaming more than the thc/rhc chips I've acquired so far.
Makes me wonder if there's something I'm missing.

Show us the chip set you're rationalizing this with
.How many leaded THCs have you physically handled? Also it's okay to actually like money, so I'd recommend staying on your current trajectory.
Yeah, that could be what I'm missing, I think all the ones I've handled have been unleaded. Like many others perhaps once I've played with a leaded set I'll see the light. But I do like money...
It’s just difficulty for anyone and everyone to build a house mold set with minimal $100s and even fewer $25s to collect (even w relabeling).Show us the chip set you're rationalizing this with

I landed my grail $25s just recently (Sundance) and it was a bitch and expensive lol. Should have just settled w a THC mold $25. There’s several casino THC molds out there! Judge free zone!
Nostalgia's a great reason, for sure. Poker in general is kind of a big nostalgia thing for me, and I think that bleeds over into poker-related-things too. I think in some ways my desire for the solid starbursts is because they're the closest thing to those crappy bicycle interlocking chips you can get in terms of bright colors and simplicity but still being a good chip. I also think it's how the hat and cane mold looks nicest honestly. Not too busy, just classy and understated.

Mixing and matching. THC/RHC give so many versatile options.
Now if I were starting out on a limited budget and wanted Tina's, THC would be a very low selection, unless it fit a THC theme.
You secretly love money, don't you?
Not so much love money as hate running out of it. heh
Hot dog rollers are overrated. Egg salad machines are where it is at.

Might as well call this the Salmonella dispenser.
One of my horrors of life, egg salad. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth just typing those words.
Saying "great starter set for new chippers" for every bike tire THC set that's listed doesn't make sense to me.
I understand they're cheaper, but for someone entering the hobby, I don't feel like this is the kind of set that would be a satisfying introduction.
The irony isn't lost on me however that my first set was bike tire primary PCAs, and now I fully have caught the bug.....
