Waiting List
Hi all, first post, have appreciated your advice before on various topic, so it seemed like you would be the ones to ask for this question.
I'd like to get a decent set of chips (not necessarily crazy nice, somewhere in the 15 to 30 cents a chip range, I certainly wouldn't complain about lower with comparable quality), but I intend to use them primarily for a board game (1830 and possibly other 18xx, for the curious) and only occasionally for actually playing poker. The way the board game in question works, it would be much more convenient for me to have a $20 value chip than a $25 value chip. If I had my druthers, I'd like the below sequence of denominations:
1; 5; 20; 100; 400
Some of those have some flex. I'm fine w/ the 400 being a 500, for example, but I've played the game using a $25 chip instead of the $20 before, and it just creates an obnoxious amount of extra counting, with the values the game tends to pay out. I wouldn't mind having smaller and larger denominations available, if they're ever necessary, but these are the important ones.
So, is there a common, easily available but still decent quality set with stickers in these values already applied, or would it be better for me to just try to get un-denominated chips? I'm fine w/ this option, if it comes down to it, but I've realized that I actually rather like having the denominations visible on the chips at a glance.
Custom is also a fine option, if it can be done without significantly increasing the cost of the chips - my experience with DYI stuff is that, usually, it ends up being much more work and money that it seemed like at the outset.
Appreciate all of your help on these, and sorry if I'm asking a stupid, obvious question. Thanks all.
