I think the correct and accepted vernacular is China Clay. An off the cuff reference to them as “plastic” is vaguely inaccurate, seemingly authority laden, and potentially nonexperiential.
I have recently played with some empire chips from Apache Poker chips at a home game. They are great chips and was very impressed with them. So impressed I put a small sample order in with Justin the other day. That however - does not make them not plastic. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the chips you are selling are not china clays. An example of china clays would be the pharaoh set from Apache poker.
I don't think this is accurate, I think of Chins clays as Pharaoh's, Milano's, Majestic's, etc.
So the Tina chips start out as a ceramic blank. The chip graphics are printed on to the blank. Then a sticker is added for the inlay. That’s why they call them hybrids. Most ceramics have the inlays printed on as well.
I would agree with you in theory; Tina’s being more in line with ceramics. I just can’t sit back and let them be referred to as plastics.
True...I think "China ceramics" is probably the more appropriate term. Clays and plastics are nothing like these.
I understand why just calling them plastic would be a little irritating. However, what I said was "They are Chinese ceramic (plastic)" I was by no means trying to talk down on @iLogik chip set. I know they are great chips since I recently got to play with them. I was simply stating what they are literally made out of. I know it's obvious to most members that ceramic chips are not really ceramic. However, to someone new it may not be that obvious.
I get it, and I certainly wasn't irritated by it...and I didnt read it anything other than the way you meant it.
