Pharaoh's Chips vs Championship Poker Series (1 Viewer)

[CdnBeerLover]

Straight from the horse's mouth (Palm Imports) on 4th Nov (email re CPS labels):
labels are .05 ea in increments of 25pc per std denomination plus shipping

Good to know.

Are the new Majestic chips going to have labels as well? Or inlay? I might forget about the Ravenor Classic chips based on looking at Majestics. But, I am now thinking about getting Pharaohs + Majestic or Ravenors Classic. I play with Milanos every week and like them. Pharaohs are similar, i presume with better colors and design?

Where would you get the Ravenors from?

 

[Alan]

I thought i could order from Sunfly in China.....

If there is another place that has them, I am happy to consider.

You can but places like BR Pro Poker should be able to make a lot of the Sun Fly sets. I don't know about the Ravenor though which is why I was asking.


If you do get those, please let me know how you like them because I was also considering getting them too!

 

[Alan]

OK.

These will have labels. To date, all China Clay chips have labels (stickers).

Thank you.....So is the only advantage of Majestics over the Pharaohs the design if you prefer it?

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[Alan]

And potentially price as I am not able to get info on expected Majestic price range. Any ideas?

Unless they reduce shipping, I am unlikely to get the Ravenors....over $100 for shipping for already pricey chips.......cant do it

OK...received samples of both CPS & Pharaohs.

First glance visually I like the color "pop" of the CPS chips. I've gone back and forth on whether I really like the hatching. I don't DISLIKE it, but I don't know that it makes these a must have set. The one thing that I think might be deal breaker is the $100/$500 chips...they look too similar, and to add insult to injury I really like the $100 Pharaoh chip

i had the same problem with the hundo 500 chips so i swapped the labels from the 5000. now my 500s are orange. they are easy labels to change over and i have had none of them lift off.

problem solved!

I was 100% sure these will be available as blanks...?

 

[Alan]

Received my Pharaoh set a couple days ago.... wiped them all down with damp cloth to remove the residue and wiped half with mineral oil all over and eventually just wiped the rims with mineral oil on the rest for similar result. This is such a nice set...I might order more.

 

[Alan]

So, I have all of these racks that came from a birdcage and they fit 20 chips loosely...I almost could jam a 21st(i wont, though my kid tried)...but I would prefer a tighter fit. Is there a particular brand of rack that fits pharaohs better?

I just did exactly that. I bought 1000+ chips from each of the Majestics and the Pharaohs.

All i can tell you is don't order samples of mint casino Paulson chips.

so who is going to tell him to get some Paulson Pharaohs and try those out? at the same time buy some crack and compare that to most any Paulsons.....you may want to stick with crack, as in the long run your wallet will love you......
