Sunfly are way more slippery imo. And matsui sound a bit better too

I think you may have that way backwards . Matsui are the slipperiest chips on the planet and sound silenced. 43mm hybrids stack like bricks and sound great. Matsuis look better sometimes, but I'd never own a set of them, especially since they are nearly double the price of 43mm hybrids.

Lol to each is own. I'd own neither (not a fan of any of the above) but if forced I'd take matsuisover sunflys based on the shuffle stacks Ben's bought

Chris from @Spinettis Gaming always comes through with the goods: this time, a minty barrel of NYNY to be relabelled as a £20 — delivered to the UK in no less than a week after my order.

Minus labels and eight more purples, set two is now pretty much good to go...

Haha, what shuffle stacks are they out of curiosity? I literally can't pick up the barrel of matsuis I have out of the rack without them shooting everywhere

Recently buying a sample of both personally I would rather own Matsui myself... they are slippery but very unique sound and feel! Not a huge fan of the hybrids myself

What Sunflys are you taking this assumption from? They stack very well for ceramics and the Matsui WPS I have are the definition of slippery.

I have that problem with the sunflys!!! We have shuffle stacks the emerald bays and sunflys are old school and union station? I think

I don't remember are those 43mm? I've never messed with the 39mm but have heard they are more slippery because there is less surface area of the face vs label

Ah ok. If somebody else shuffled all the texture off the sunfly stack before he got them, and then he shuffled them even more, I could see them being slippery for sure.

Yes the sunflys are 43mm the matsuis are 39mm

This could be, not sure of the usage prior to our obtaining them

The only thing i disagree with is that i wouldn't own either due to the slipperiness.

Same for me, Ben bought them to see what all the "hype" was about, we decided BTP 100s made a better shuffle stack

If you could only make the current 500 a 5000 and a new retro lavender or plain lavender w black and grey spots as 500...

 

[Ben8257]

I have the solution... @Tommy could you please get those chips made on the make and mold in the center shown here... I think it would make everyone happy!!

I'll post an interest thread later for those. Nothing is set in stone. I don't think any customs have been made on that mold yet either. It is one of their newer molds. The label size is close to a RHC and BJ S2 chip.

Could also revisit the Abbiati GB idea too. Abbiati chips cost more but IMO handle better than Matsui and Bud Jones. Their standard colors are vibrant too.

 

[Ben8257]

For the record... @FordPickup92 is terrible at keeping secrets... so Christmas came early... I have never seen these before... is this a set of customs from TRK doesnt feel like a CPC chip???

 

[Steppenwolf]

Ah what a splendid mail day for Ben and Brie

Yes, custom set (mini group buy IIRC) from the chiptalk days.

That is a legit custom TRK from before Dennis shuttered TRK. There was a small group buy of them by a number of members of CT.

I can promise it will be loved... custom TRK, wicked design and being a gift from my baby!! Chip protector as a card cover if ever we meet it will be with me! Along side my other fantastic gift a $2000 Silver Tounged Devil chip from my good buddy Steve @Quicksilver-75 ... God help me if I ever get my hands on High denom Pillage + Plunder! I will be that weird guy at the table with 3 chips at all times!! Haha that is unless she finds something even more interesting to give me somewhere down the road... say a High denom P+P! (Honestly any P+P chip) Lmao only in my dreams!! Pretty damn stoked with the ones I have!!

I usually use two card protectors at one time (for my mixed game nights). Three isn't a stretch.

Well I am never the deep stack so gotta have something to represent the area where chips should be!!! Lmao I tried to be careful there to avoid out of context but I'm sure i failed

Im also a big fan of the pillage and plunder set.

So many good chips, but I keep coming back to the orange and blue $1000. Really clever.

Yep, that and the $8.00 chip are my two favorites. Really, he nailed the entire theme.

I couldn't pick a favorite... I love them all but if I had to I would go with the purple base $1000 quarter pie followed by the white hundo!! Some day!! Some day!!

Tell you what Sir. If we ever play cards together, the white 100 is yours.

You could feasibly have it in a few weeks if you wanted to travel to MI over the Thanksgiving holidays lol.
