Two Pair
Have found some pretty good deals locally on cash sets of pharaohs and majestics and wanted some feedback on which chip you guys prefer between the two? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the info! I actually love the colors of the 25c and 50c majestic chips so I may lean that way if I decide to get a small stakes cash setI’d give Majestics the nod, more square edges & smaller labels, but they are the strongest smelling of modern CCs. Like toxic plastic waste.
Pharaoh’s have better edge spots.

Appreciate it man!Nice. Also, I do believe the smell fades over time. All current CCs are nice and great value.
Welcome to the forum!
Hi @TrillAK - what did you end up deciding on? I'm also in the process of figuring out my first set...deciding between Dunes / Pharaohs / Milanos / Majestics. One thing I discovered is you really need to oil to have them at their 'potential'
Washed my majestics then oiled them, no smell whatsoever afterwardsI’d give Majestics the nod, more square edges & smaller labels, but they are the strongest smelling of modern CCs. Like toxic plastic waste.

I have samples of the royals and Pharaoh's Club comingGet samples of the Royal 43mm. They are excellent chips
I just got a sample of the royals. I'm not too keen on the larger size but they seem to have sharper edges or is it just my imagination. They are very prettyMajestic for sure. Pharaohs are meh.
Royals = king of the hill
Spinetti's has the nexgen type material dunes they have sharp edges and Apache poker does have the China clay versionWhat about the dunes set?
Apache doesn’t have samples sets in right now so I’m waiting. They advertise that they are a very close feel to the originals. They also say there is 2 versions of the dunes chips and they have the better ones. I’m assuming they are china clays
Pharaoh's Club for cash (different spot patterns) and Majestic for tournament (identical spot patterns).Have found some pretty good deals locally on cash sets of pharaohs and majestics and wanted some feedback on which chip you guys prefer between the two?
Apache’s Dunes are still my first CC pick.What about the dunes set?
I really want to get a set of these. I am tempted to buy the commemorative set from spinetti's but they are the next gen material . The only thing I like about the next gen material is the sharp edges. Josh said his dunes chips will be back in by November.Apache’s Dunes are still my first CC pick.
Sorry voice to text butchered my post I meant to put nexgen not next gen lol. Anyway I will probably be in heaven if we get a China clay with sharp edges. I know the price would be a little moreThe general consensus supports waiting for the CCs. You could post a wanted ad on forum. They do turn over occasionally.

If you want to play it safe you can do each one individually just dampen the towel hold the chip and rotate it. Staying away from the label completely. I submerged mine for 30 seconds and had no issue with them dried them off and then oil them . You have to oil them it takes the smell away and they become so bright. don't do what I did let them set at least 24 hours after you were done to dry I tried to put them away in a few hours and had to reoil them Because they got dull again. Also if you're going to put them in chip racks oil the racksokey! thanks for the information. I am recieving my majestics later this week and was a little scared of washing and oiling them as this would be the first set I would ever own. So don't want to ruin them immedietly!

No oil before applying the label. Wash with a wet towel to get dust off. I was too worried to throw the chips in a bucket of water for the dust but people do it and it works.
