I am new to the forum and would like to introduce myself. My name is Norm and I am from Georgia. I have a craps table that I bought years ago with a fairly cheap set of composite chips. They did well for me, but I wanted more of the casino feel. I have tried several types and brands out there and have found what I like and what I don't like. I am still partial to "clay" chips and my favorites are my cherished set of Proteges!!! I even like them better than Paulsons. I am so bummed that they are no longer produced. Then again the Paulsons aren't being produced for the home market now either. I am still looking for that "perfect" look, feel and sound. I have steered away from ceramics because I just don't like the feel and they just don't seem to have that special sound. I have also recently been involved with Baccarat and have been collecting plaques! Yes, as if there were not enough reasons to spend money, they had to go and get me interested in plaques. Well, enough about me....I am planning on reading comments and getting to know the fine folks on here!!!
