What about poker chips... (1 Viewer)

[PTS]

appeals to you?

The edgespots? The inlays? The combination of the two?

Is it the base color, and the edgespots?

I am curious, because for me....I simply do not know. I mean, I love the games, and the chips are part of that, but has anyone really thought about WHY the chip is such a draw for you (us)?

I honestly do not know WHY I can't stay off of this site, and gaze at the gallery pics of set after set after set, seeing the way the denoms progress, and the edge patterns that go along with that.

Just wondering if anyone else has an explanation as to why we are all...well...messed up, lol.

Apologies if this thread has been created elsewhere. Just had to dump this off of my brain.

For me, it's the edge spots. I mean I'm sure subconsciously it's about what they represent - I doubt I'd care about chips if there wasn't any poker. But yes, the edge spots - specifically compressed clay edgespors. Their unevenness and contrasting colors really draw me in. And I'm sure that's why I'm not drawn to plastic chips, ceramic chips, china clays, and even giant inlay chips which don't have all the edge spots exposed on their surfaces.
It's all about the edge spots!
