What’s next? A “semi custom” $100,000 rounder chip? Can’t wait to see it

 

[RocAFella1]

Here are the GOAT nickel, quarter, $1, $5, $20, and $88.

@MrCatPants do your thing.

He already did hahaha…. And are you really asking for help? That’s adorable…

Nope just deferring to the professionals. CPC is below me.

Professional? You tagged @MrCatPants

Does not compute… you clearly meant to tag @David Spragg

All of these “Post your GOAT $ X, Y, Z chip” posts have gotten out of control. They’re all subjective and just end up being repeats of every other post. Everyone just posting whatever chips they personally own. It’s laughable.

That’s being said…

Oh and @RocAFella1 GO CHIEFS!

I dunno. That might be the GOAT $88 chip. What's the rest of the competition?

As far as the rest, if I were playing a game with those, I'd probably grab a red and three blues, toss them out and say I raise you to $8.

Not sure if this is controversial or not…

I’ve been shuffling 43 mm ceramics the last couple of days, and in my opinion the BRPro blanks are at least 2-3 tiers above the cards molds chips.

Not controversial. 47mm frisbees though? The nuts.

I like using TheChipGuide as a resource.

There is nuance between liking TheChipGuide vs @ChipGuide.

I love RHC chips and think flea bites are overrated and less common than what people say here.

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

KEMs are overrated. Love most cards I've felt, but these feel so flimsy and their art is plain. Even the texture is meh.

Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like Copag gets a bad rap and Kem gets a lot of credit and I cannot understand it. I like Kem bridge from time to time but won't bother to replace any setups I have at this point as they are flimsy as hell and have a tendency to warp so quickly. I have Kems that were barely used that warped.

Yeah the big knock on COPAGs are the chipping/spotting of the ink I think after use, but mine have held up well and my players love the bright colors. Just picked up a brand new poker sized KEMs to feel the difference, and have a used bridge setup in the mail; they're good, but not at double the price of the COPAGs.

High end plastics are as nice as any other high end chip.

The Copags are also more distinctive while not deriving from the traditional design. But that's an aside. Give me Copags over Kems in every possible category.

Something in another thread made me think of this. OG Paulsons (usually leaded) are definitely the best feeling chips going and many are great looking but there still are many of those sets that FUGLY.

I agree with the flea bites statement 100% - I think the occasional big flea bite is charming. And the little ones don’t matter at all unless you’re photographing your “pron.”
(But as a guy who’s never owned an RHC set for more the a few months, I may not be qualified to comment on flea bites.)

I just don’t see hardly any at all from a home game chip that never saw casino play. Most of those ugly ones we see are from knocks on toke boxes when dealers get a tip.

All CPC molds feel the same to me. All CPC molds feel almost as good as THC mold.

Paulson house mold, small inlay chips feel just as good as THC mold. House molds also just look cooler than THC when done right (see GN, Sundance, Luxor, Excalibur, Dunes, etc...)

after handling leaded house mold and RHC; anything leaded feels better than THC (though this one might not be controversial)

I suspect I'll prefer the feel of good plastics over THC as well (anyone wanna sell me a cash set )

I LOVE this take. Disagree with it 100%, but I still love it. I wish a LOT more people here thought this way. Then I'd be able to buy the chips I want for less money and a whole lot less competition.

What about leaded TRKs? Can you start throwing those under the bus too?

 

[MeridianFC]

I have seen “slugged” chips denigrated since time immemorial, but I don’t think slugging a chip to add weight is necessarily bad (see some B&G). Shitty plastic is though.

1-2 racks of $5s in .50-$1 or $1-2 is not enough!!! What’s dead may never die!

*correct and only answer is start the set with 4 and keep buying till you don’t put anymore in play.

This isn't even a tiny bit controversial...

I play mostly $0.25/.50 when I host, and two racks is barely even enough for that! I started building a mixed set with just one rack of $5s, and eventually scrapped the whole set for primarily this reason.

HELL YES! This was my stack at the end of the night at my last .25/.50 game. If you took away 4 or 5 barrels of $5s and replaced them with greens and blacks, the joy is gone. Long live the joy!!!

All I see here is straight flush over quads.

What you should really see is “holy crap he got hit with the deck so hard the rest of the night he somehow managed to not donk it all off”
