Not Mine Venerati Ceramic ??? (1 Viewer)

Not a tourney player but seems like a decent deal... case and racks can be assume as 50.00.

Venerati chips for 25c each with a free birdcage is a great deal. Make sure the seller knows how to ship, or the case won't make it intact.

Decent breakdown for a high-denom tourney set, too:

200 x T500
160 x T1000
120 x T5000
80 x T25K
40 x T100K

Good for a variety of breakdowns, including 20 players with T100K stacks or up to 16 players with T350K stacks. Easy to add on if more chips are required.

The breakdown works denom-wise. Colorwise, there are too many similar colors there for my liking. Good price for great chips though.

I recently received an order of Veneratis. I think they are a great chip at the price they are offered new. If you have even a minor interest I would recommend jumping on this. I don't see you having an issue getting your money back in the future should you decide to sell.

Sorry, I had it as Mine but that was a mistake. Not Mine lol.

I think new they are .39 per chip. I like them. The colors are similar, even in the cash denoms. When we use them we are usually playing .25/.25 with only .25, 1, and 5's in play so it isn't too bad.

It's a fair price, but the color similarities are making me double back and say no. But a good price for 600 tourney chips and a case.

I've also noticed that various denominations of these are no longer available at sidepot if that helps at all.

I had a large tourney set (1000+ chips) consisting of T25, T100, T500, T1000, T5000, T25000, and T100,000 denominations. No color issues whatsoever - those rack pics make them look closer in color than they actually are. The T500 chips are a vibrant lavender, and the T25K chips are a dark red -- not an issue in stacks or pots. Plus the denominations stand out nicely:

anyone has experience between Venerati and Archetype ceramics?

 

[BGinGA]

Yes. I never cared for the mandatory Chipco white ring in general, and find the Archetype artwork cluttered and distracting. Many of the tournament color combos do not work well together, imo.

I dug out my sample set to see. I still say the $500 and the $25k are a little too close for my liking. But it also reminded me how much I like the look and feel of these chips. I may have to grab a set of these sometime, if I see the denominations I'm looking for go on sale.

 

[BGinGA]

Fwiw, none of my blind structures have T500 and T25K chips in play at the same time. T25K chips are usually introduced to color-up the T500s.

My biggest beef with the set is the muddy brown T5000 chip, which looks even worse when compared to the other vibrant tourney colors (especially the orange T1000).

i love the feel of ceramic chips, but a couple of sample sets I bought all started to fade badly. Those Veneratis still look pretty good, color wise.
