Yep. True story. Weigh up some of the HSI $1a chips and many hit the 10g mark. No lead in those.

Then while I owned my ASTs, I never found a chip heavier than 9-9.5g. I prefer the weighty feel of heavier chips, so I disliked this about them.

I've definitely noticed some white chips are heavy AF for non-leaded.

What I do know, is my Empress Joliet sec $100s are my heavyweight hitting Paulsons. There isn't a chip weighing less than 11.3g in the barrel. LOVE IT!

You mean the primary hundos, right? Are those all LCV as well? With the bear claw secondaries, there quite a difference in weight between the LCV and SCV, definitely a different composition of the clay.

I wonder if the primary hundos have a similar difference between SCV and LCV.

11.3 is getting pretty close to official casino weight.

Yes, but don't worry. Just keep checking their website. They suffered long shut-down periods due to the Pandemic.
They're pretty amateurish, but honest people.
 
Guys you will never believe what I found at Target on sale for Black Friday!

Alright... you caught me! Man don't I wish!! Been patiently waiting about a year now to find a rack of these beautiful chips. 414 is by far hands down my favorite spot pattern. Can't thank you enough @jpietrella for giving me a chance to own these!

BTW we made a special trip out to the post office buddy! Your new babies are on their way! Lol

I will say I have held more than my fair share of minty chips... but this has to be a record! Never felt anything that damn sharp! These chips absolutely WILL cut you! Going to have to buy a rock tumbler on cyber Monday to get them playable! Haha
 
Got 4 decks of Bicycle Prestige, thanks @BNM! The shipping box had a big dent in the corner, but the decks were very well packed, so no damage:

The decks were so well packed that the cellophane ripped a little when I unwrapped them. (Not a big deal since they're not staying in the cellophane; just want to print out some tuck boxes for them first.) I compared them to the 2012 WSOP Fournier decks I have, and I have to say the fronts of both feel pretty identical, but the back of the Prestige cards feel a little more textured.

These are my first deck of non-paper non-cheapo poker-size cards; after using bridge for so long, it feels kinda weird handling the larger cards.

Also, I know Modia(no!) is a four-letter word here, but I found these two decks on eBay at a bit of a discount, so I figure I'd pick them up. These are 4-pip bridge size. Haven't removed the cellophane yet.

I'm assuming these are PVC (since they're not Platinum Acetates), so I wonder how they'll feel compared to the other 100% plastic cards I have (Copags, Fourniers). Will see at my next live game. (Also will see how my poker buddies react to 4-pip decks!)
