Favorite Current Stock Poker Chip (1 Viewer)

And now for something different... I don't know if they're still available, or going to be made again by someone else, but I've always felt that Apache's Chipco Apaches were the best overall design of a ceramic chip set ever.

BCC Mardi Gras are still available for retail but not in production or they would get my vote.

Going by both standards, I would go with CPC rounders.

Hi, would you mind sharing me a link to any retailers of BCC Mardi Gras chips? Thank you!

They're pretty nice. Honestly, it wouldn't shock me if the nevada jacks and/or tiki kings felt even better - I just never went for samples of those because I didn't like the look.

The tiki kings were a big disappointment. Feel very light, and graphics are underwhelming in person. Honestly they have the look - and just importantly the feel - as cheap throwaway counters in a children's board game.

...Even more of a disappointment after a certain John Hobby bigged them up online :P

Interesting. I'd like to hear more people's thoughts. Cheap throwaway counters? That's the first time I've read anything like that about tiki kings. I always assumed they were similar to chipcos, with a smoother finish.
Honestly, I don't see myself buying stock chips, so this is purely curiosity, but I am curious.
 
I suppose it's horses for courses. Other people might love 'em. They're just a chip that I "don't get."

Also I've never handled Chipco's, so I don't have a point of reference as far as that's concerned. To put it in context, all other ceramics I've handled have all been "stock" eBay types - scrolls, Nile club, lucky dragon, ascona hybrids. Tiki Kings are my least favourite for look and feel.

Clay: Sharing 1st place: CPC Rounders CSQ / Key West (because they are on my wish list)
Ceramic: classic ones such as B-Tournament or WPS etc (pictures from vendors site for illustration)
'Lower budget': Juego Poker Chips (they feel pretty ok, was playing in a IPT (Italian Poker Tour) Tourney and they had some customized chips of them

Im also curious about the tikis and the different vendors thst sell them. Palm gaming sells them and claims they are on chipco blanks. But i messaged brpro and they tell me they are the only company that makes them and owns the artwork and sells them to other vendors

This is curious. You should start a separate thread - the title might attract the attention of people who know.
 
Does anyone own a set of the WPS chips from ABC? I've always loved that set of WSOP chips. How's the quality?

Yes, they are great! I bought a door mat and sometimes put it on the couch so I can shuffle them when watching poker. :LOL: :laugh:

Since my guys only play cash game they wouldnt see any 'felt' at all...

Time to address the elephant in the room, what's your favorite STOCK set that is CURRENTLY in production available to consumers?

Mine - for today:
New Money no-issue: CPC CSQ Rounders
New Under $400 (set of 500): Tiki Kings
New Under $300 (500): Dunes China Clays
New Under $200 (500): Milano
New Under $100 (500): Crown casino, Monte Carlo
Click to expand...

Not sure on costs given I'm at work so let me break down by class as well.

Money no issue: Atlantic Club hotstamps.
Ceramic-Hybrid: Tie between Tangiers and Everest
Ceramic: Lucky Dragons
CC: Dunes
Economy: Crown Casino
 
When I bought the bulk of my set it was $1.67 I believe. I added on a few barrels later and the price had gone up to somewhere in the $1.70s.
