"Current" Chipset Collection (3 Viewers)

Just the run-bad or you didn't like them? Every time I see a set of these I have to remind myself that I dislike plastics, because they look so awesome.

I was to beat up to post much of anything yesterday. I think I'm to old to drink and play poker until 3 am loll

Here is what I posted elsewhere

SAT night was one of the "unluckiest" nights that I have had in a long time. Then throw in a bad decision or two and it was a recipe for disaster.

I'll start with what I liked about the chips.

I love the 1 - 100. I think the 1, 5, and 20 play really well together. The colors are beautifully vibrant!.

I don't care for the frac. I don't have a great reason. It simply feels out of place. I don't know if its the color, the spots, ect...probably a little bit of both. I don't like it, and I don't think it fits with the rest of the set.

I'm indifferent on the feel of the chips. I prefer the feel and sound of clay chips. I need to quit that comparison.

The "thud" sound of the plastics don't really work for me. I prefer the sound of the ABC ceramics a little better. Probably doesn't make sense, but that is where my head is at.

This was a little tilting for me. There is a slight height different when in barrels between the ones and the fives. Its very minimal. I think Wedge and I were the only ones to notice it. It did bother me ever so lightly.

What I hate is when I buy a new set and it immediately drops to the least favorite in my rotation.

If someone reached out to me and wanted to buy it. I'd probably sell. I don't plan on posting it for sale just yet. I'll probably wait until I get my hot stamped set (summerish lol).

Thanks Bill. I'm very surprised about the stack height issue. It's probably just my ignorance on how these are made, but I would have thought the level of quality control for chip thickness would be super refined for ABS plastic - similar to ceramics/hybrids.

You've got some nice sets dude, it's a good problem to have :) I'm in a similar boat - a new set would really have to bowl me over to consider purchasing at this point. And these look that good (especially those $1s), but I don't think I'd like anything else about them.

I'm with you on these. If I had liked the frac or even the $5 better, I may have pulled the trigger on a set.

The purple frac doesn't go at all here. Blue would have been a much better fit, and change the light blue spot on the $5 to a yellow or arc yellowish color. The blue on blue there doesn't do it for me. The $100 even after the revision is my favorite chip, followed by the $20 and then the $1.

Give me the Crown Plaza chip design with the Park Place inlay and I may consider an Abiatti set down the road. However, the printing issues on these and the QC issues between the denoms in terms of barrel height as well give me pause. Being as these are plastic, I'd expect better QC. I know you're not a fan personally, but I am much more impressed with Sunfly's QC at 1/3 of the price than I am with Abiatti based on what I've seen from them.
 
I had a table full of chippers SAT night. @WedgeRock and myself were the only two to notice the height differences. It is very minimal. That was the only QC issue that I noticed with the chips. Everything else seemed fine.

I really like the ones, fives, and twenties, but probably not enough to keep the set long term.

How slippery are the Abbiati’s? How does the slipperiness compare to other plastics? Just curious.

Small sample size. These were the least slippery of any plastics/ceramics that I have handled in the past. We play a lot of split pot games at my house. Were constantly sliding barrels of chips across the table. I didn't experience any issues. @WedgeRock @mike32
 
I like to call them "rubberized" most plastics don't have enough surface texture and with a glossy finish they are slicker than hell! The Abbiati chips still have great bright colors but don't have that sheen of many other plastics. They have a rubbery feel to them that gives them great traction. Not too much, definitely like they spent their time coming up with the perfect formula. We only own samples of the last two group buys but they have an amazing "feel" for high end plastics. IMO

Agreed. And the heavy weight helped to keep them where you placed them.

You can knock over a stack easier than clay chips, but I really liked these chips.

I'm planning on fleecing @detroitdad when he sells them, offering 60¢ per chip...

These will probably be sold privately before they ever got the market. A couple of guys are tentatively interested. We'll see.

I didn't plan on posting them for sale until I got my hot stamps, but if somebody wants them now they can have them
 
PNY'S with new fracs are hitting the felt tonight.

I randomly select the DB and cut cards.

Man that escalated quickly... we have a lot in common sir. "Well I host a single table game for 8 for $.25/$.50... but may as well build it to cover 5 tables of $1/$2... just in case!" Lmao

Man oh man this hobby is freaking addicting!!

Lately I have been joking if the recession/economy tanks I will open a poker food room. Players could come with their can of peas and bottle of ketchup and exchange them or a "chip value"....then when they decide to cash out they could go to the counter and like an arcade with tickets buy whatever old items on the shelf and potentially go home a "Winner" with 3 cans of chunky soup and tin of baby formula.

I did a good job avoiding the Indiana Grand sale, my samples are still in the mail in L.A. as of this morning.

I ordered some CPC's two years ago after being unhappy with commercial Scroll ceramic/Crazy horse China clay sets and selling both after owning a big set of Pharaohs in the past...... then saw the HSI chips which are my favorite casino chips...Also Apache had a set of 36mm cinci chips avail which I bought as a tourney alternative and as quarters or my HSI set....then while waiting for my CPC'Swas inspired with the primary/secondary casino concept to order those higher level CPC edges that were saved that I couldn't justify paying for with a cards mold group buy. Then majestic star came along and while the cash chips looked ok I already has a farm load of horse shoes so rolled the dice on getting a NCV set that looked awesome/very affordable....and then realized I have a ton of chips and don't need any more as I could cover a multi table monte carlo and card room already with pretty much any realistic stakes for a home game without hiring security lol.

Covid hit play action hard and so far games of .25/.50 and 1/2 have been played along with $20-100 buy in tournaments for 1-2 tables. looking forward to hosting the 4 table tournies I did in my 20's/early 30's again.
I could also run $1limit/$5limit based limit games as well as the HSI set is a tank fr everything.
