I am looking at getting a custom set of chips from either sunfly(polyino) or ABC. Was wondering what other PCF members prefer and if there is a price guide for sunfly?
@SUN-FLY Poker Chips @SUN-FLY RingoDoes anyone know the pricing for Sunfly or who to contact? I have a sample set from ABC of the Valentino high roller chips and like them, but don't have a sample set from Sunfly. Is there a way to acquire a sample set of Sunfly chips?
With ABC, are all their chips textured on the faces or is that something that needs to be asked for?

Its just to see what others prefer and whyLike others have said, just depends on what you want.
It's been noted that ABC does not make hybrid (polyinno) chips, so if you are trying to just straight compare 39mm ceramics I'd personally go with ABC just based on my experience working with Gene and the quality of his product.
Not to say Sunfly is bad either though, I love their polyinno chips. If it's a hybrid vs standard ceramic question, I'm going with 43mm hybrids all day long, but that's just my personal preference.
I have a Valentino high roller sample set, the faces feel textured, are they not suppose to be?Textured needs to be requested. We have the following blanks available:
-39mm smooth (which is the default that we use for custom orders)
-39mm textured
-43mm smooth
-47mm smooth
-49mm smooth dealer buttons (twice as thick as standard chips)
-60mm smooth dealer buttons (twice as thick as standard chips)
If you have not seen our chips before, I would recommend getting samples. All of the Nevada Jacks sets are done on the textured blanks (Skulls, Saloon Series & Desert Sands) and all other sets are on our smooth blanks, so you can always get one NJ sample set + one of our other sample sets to get a feel for both. In my opinion, the smooth chips are superior, and there is no cost difference between the two...but that's just my two cents!

I have an excess of sunfly 25s i could send you a shuffle stack to compare to abc if still haven’t found any.Does anyone know the pricing for Sunfly or who to contact?

That is good to know! Thank you! I may have to look at getting a NJ sample set just so I can compare the two textures.Those are done on the smooth blanks...however they have a matte surface (not glossy) so that may be the feel you are describing. The textured blanks have a more textured look and feel (it's usually referred to as a "fine linen" texture but I'm not sure how much that helps to describe it LOL). To me, the textured chips are a little more slippery in a stack (doesn't sound like it makes sense because you would think textured = less slippery) but it's because there is less surface area touching between chips since there's a very slightly 'bumpy' surface. Since the smooth chips don't have that textured/bumpy surface, they stack better in my opinion. It really is preference though, I've had plenty of people ask for textured chips and they prefer them over our smooth blanks. But the majority of custom semi-custom chips we do are smooth.
So without the matte finish, would you say the smooth and the smooth with matte finish are comparable as to being able to stack them or would the matte be able to be stacked better due to the little bit of texture on them?Those are done on the smooth blanks...however they have a matte surface (not glossy) so that may be the feel you are describing.

With the labels in the hybrids, has there been any trouble with those coming out do you know?You can't go wrong with either.
The question will be whether you want hybrids, do you need in-house design, how long can you wait, etc. Budget-wise I would say they are similar after shipping costs included.
I don't "know", but I doubt it ever happens. We would have heard by now, given the number of group buys that have happened.With the labels in the hybrids, has there been any trouble with those coming out do you know?
Do ceramics these days still have color transfer like Chipco did back in the day? I'm thinking about a tournament set and while I love my CPC cash chips, they are so damn expensive. Sorry for the slight threadjack, but the question seems relevant while talking about preferences.
