Dear All!
I am totally new to this side of the world. I was always fascinated about Poker Chips, but never pulled the plug to actually buy a set for myself. Now the time has come!
I am a University student, so I guess I do not want to pay too much money on something, that's not that important, I mean I must say I will use the chips mostly with board games and card games. I live in Transylvania(Romania). My budget is I guess about 100 euros, but that's also not cheap.... If somebody has used, but great poker chips, I could also think of buying second hand chips.
Now, after lots of information, I realized, I don't have to buy from the get go a full set, but I could also think this way: I could buy 150 chips and in a few months or so, I could buy again. This way I may buy a good quality chip and not just buy something cheap to have a 300 or 500 set. I am looking at pokershop.de.
What I figured till now are the following. These are still quite high price chips for me, but I guess I don't want to buy too bad chips:
1.Ceramics: WSOP Replica 2011 (Reno High Stakes) https://pokershop.de/WSOP-Replica-2015-aligned_2,
Crown CashGames (these have a bit wierd look, I don't like them particularly) https://pokershop.de/CROWN-CASHGAME-Series
2. China Clays: Majestic https://pokershop.de/index.php?k=328&lang=eng
3.Molded: The Nuts https://pokershop.de/THE-NUTS_3
Diamond Club https://pokershop.de/index.php?k=323&lang=eng
(these are 14gr, so quite heavy, but much more affordable)
These are the ones I looked at and liked. I also liked the look of the Claysmith ones, but I got adviced they are not that good.
The denominations I am looking for at the moment (for board and card games) are 1, 5, 25, 50 (there can be also 10 or 20 and maybe a few 100s)
What do you think and what would you suggest to me? I thought at this low budget I have, I better buy something good but a few with a Chip Rack and later buy more, like another 150 chips and a case with it. But until now, 150 maybe a bit less is sufficient for board games. I could also consider used, but great quality poker chips.
