Do you know anyone on the site selling samples of all the options? Or what I should search for on the site?

I will have to second @TheWhat's suggestion. Check out Apache poker chips. He also has 3 varieties of the card mold ceramics. Get sample sets of those, and the Majestics, and maybe even the Royals.

I have ~700 Majestic's and like them a lot. The smell is similar to that burnt electronics smell, but I only notice it when holding them up to my nose.

I haven’t really noticed the smell issue. Maybe slightly at first, but not after cleaning and oiling.

Is oiling a must? also how often and how difficult is it to do

also what cards you guys use?

Welcome. I was in your same position just a few weeks ago. I went with the Majestics from Apache Poker chips. Shipping was fast and 49¢ a chip seemed like the best deal.

As you can see, I went all out with the samples. Loved a few of them and it was close between the Pharaohs and Majestics.

I love the Taj Mahals too and will probably do a group buy with those because I couldn't find a $5,000 chip anywhere except the group buys. The other ceramic I am going to get will be the Stardust.

Out of the cheaper chips, I a huge fan of the Casino Royales. I bought a barrel of the $5 chips and I'm going to use those as bounty chips.

Welcome to the forum! Enjoy!

Are you happy with the majestic buy? and have you oiled them?

I have not oiled them. I need to read a little more about it. Really happy so far. Hopefully can get them in a game in the next few weeks.

What are your thoughts on majestic poker chips? I’ve been hearing some good things about them but concerned about the smell people keeping bringing up, is it really noticeable?

Admittedly my sense of smell is pretty bad but I don't smell anything, even bringing it up directly to nostril.

I bought samples from all over the classifieds over the last few months. If I were to do it on your budget and timeline today, I would just buy one sample set of each material straight from Apache. Pick your favorite design.

- Cards mold ceramic (Empire, Penthouse, Taj Mahal) (~$7)
- China clay (Bank, Majestic, Pharoah's, Dunes, Royal) (~$7)
- Slugged plastic (Monte Carlo, Casino Royale) (~$4)

Once you're done with them, sell them for ~60-70% of the price you paid and then buy the set you want.

I don’t know how important oiling is for china clays, but it definitely made the colors pop, and seemed to make them shuffle like a dream.
