Poll open for 7 days...

I'm not even going to bother trying to make this a "fair" contest. I think I love the Silver Bird set as much as @Redbelly, but even I have to go with the Mapes here.

What can beat TRKs ?!

What can beat TRKs ?!

Lakeshore Inns evidently...

...at least for now.

LoL yes, some people are insane in here

Someone must have felt bad for the poor birds, not me.

CIC chips always feel old-timey and cheap to me. Usually because the casinos I've played in that had CIC chips were old and rundown.

 

[Poker Zombie]

CIC is like a slugged chip that was too cheap to buy enough plastic to cover the slug.

Might change my mind if playing with a set though.

why is this even a thread??

I was just curious how to express 43:1 in percentage terms and the quickest, easiest way I could figure to find out was to make this thread and let the poll software do the math for me.

I'll give the Silver Birds the crown for the CIC only contest. In this open format, it's the Mapes in a landslide.

 

[spikeithard]

58-2. mmmhmmmm different weight classes

 

[Grobin03]

Haha

 

[BGinGA]

lol, silver birds had no business even being in this competition. Totally outclassed by every.single.other.set. and would have been blown away no matter who they faced.

Mapes inlay is the best all time

I'm a big Bud Jones fan but not that much on CIC's. However the Silver Birds are one of the nicest of the CIC's and the fact that the set includes a $20 is cool.

But the Mapes are like candy. I just wants to eat them up. 3 moon spots and those colors. Can't beat em' here.

Mapes +

I used to think the same thing about CIC until I got a chance to play with a set of Silver Birds.

That said, Mapes vs. Anything will rarely be a fair fight.

 

[Redbelly]

Wow! Good thing I don't get hurt feelings much![emoji41][emoji2]
I didn't realize my prized babies had been nominated (thanks btw)!
Never any hard feelings but I do love this set! Looks like they're not heading to the finals though![emoji41][emoji6]

 

[shaboo]

Not a fair comparison. Mapes are absolutely fabulous, just like Dunes.

 

[chipjoker]

Hmmm, MAPES ALL THE WAY baby...

If you had almost any chip up against the MAPES, I don't think any would stand a chance, Dunes might...

It's almost safe to shut this one down, any mercy rule in effect?

 

[Psypher1000]

I don't like CIC's at all. Mapes in an effective no-contest for me.
