What to do? Prices of CCs and Ceramics in Europe (1 Viewer)

[Desle]

I've been deciding on which chips I should buy as my first (and hopefully last) set.
The choice is between CCs and ceramics, but here in Europe the ceramics are cheaper than the royals & majestics (e.g. majestics are 74 cents).

Are CCs worth it if they cost more than ceramics? Especially when I only like the majestics for their aesthetic, and I could also get custom ceramics instead? They seem more durable, and easily cleaned..

I'm wondering what others think, or know about this


(Are CCs even cheaper than ceramics in the US?)

You will get lots of different opinions here.

I generally prefer ceramics to the various types of China Clay. Especially since ceramics can be fully customized.

and hopefully last

it depends only on you. I think ceramics is a lot better,.just my opinion. As people says here, get samples and decide for yourself.

I felt my chipping journey was done when I got my custom CPCs done. At the moment, I don't see myself buying an order set.
So your "last" set will really depend but if you keep coming here at PCF, I'll probably not be a set of China Clay.

+1, I will choose ceramic over China Clay as a starter set

As @Kid_Eastwood mentioned, either choices is unlikely to be one last set for a chipper

Get samples, none of them are necessarily better than the other. All you’re gonna get out of this is a bunch of different personal preferences.

A couple of facts though:

- The best ceramic option, brpropoker.com is US based (expensive shipping and customs)
- China clay smells weird/bad (some don’t care, others can’t live with it)

If cost is an issue and you are in the EU, have you considered ceramics from Sun-Fly?

Also SF is offering PolyClay and PolyInno (hybrid) chips. Not only flat ceramics.

SunFly chips are actually more expensive here

I've ordered (and tested) both samples from CC and Ceramics, and I honestly don't mind either. I was under the impression that CCs were generally a step-up from ceramics, because of the price here in the EU.. I'll probably go for the ceramics.

(And for anyone wondering what selection I can pick from, I'm ordering from pokershop.de)

I think Sunfly are cheaper when u include shipping cost, I remembered they provide free shipment as long u order more than 300 chips

Good calls. China Clays, I cant stand the smell and players dont like it either. We love the ceramics: they're cheap so I can afford to buy a ton of them, fully customized, no smell, not worried about breaking, bright colors. Im sure I'll upgrade someday but they're a good way to get yourself hooked (or delete the memory of this website after buying like Men In Black).

pokershop.de is in my opinion the best!
They sell the majestic, royals and bank chips like apachepokerchips.

However I recently purchased custom ceramics for .79 on the card mold. Perfect chips, but now I'm designing a new set on their plain mold of .68 per chip.

They have the high roller stock chips which are equal to the custom plain mold. Played with those a couple of times. Stack like bricks and have sharp graphics.
