Chips that everyone else likes but just don’t do it it for you… and go (2 Viewers)

+3 on the Scrub Donkeys. I love the story behind them, but I would never want to play with those things.
 
TRK’s for me. Nice chips, but kinda plain to me. I haven’t quite fallen down the rabbit hole on them yet. I’m kinda scared I’d be broke if I did.

WHAT??? Kinda plain????

Nobody agrees on anything here and who are we kidding - we like them all to an extent because we’re junkies.

I think a better measure is biggest gap between what chips sells for and what you’d pay for it (hypothetically if you had a budget in that range).

By that measure pny is definitely up high on the list for me for modern sets. Also don’t see the appeal of the boat chips. And basically anything on a Paulson mold (tacky to the point the point that I’d prefer generic non paulsons) or with a shaped inlay (adds very little to the aesthetic imo).
 
Can't have everyone liking the same chips otherwise it would be impossible to afford them :)

The labels on the PNY is part of what I like lol

The chips that seem to be adored by many but just don't do anything for me are the IOC chips

I'm with you on the IOC KC, and I'm in KC!

I thought about getting a set when they hit the market during last year's Black Friday sale and regretted when I didn't because of the KC connection. But there are other Missouri casino sets that blow away the IOC KC, in my opinion.
 
Whoa, I take it back :). Those are gorgeous, love the colors on those. Where have those been hiding? Mel. I typically only see barrels or racks of plain looking TRKs in the classifieds section. Beautiful set Mel!

Here you go. This is my personal grail. My first love. Enjoy.

Edit: A couple racks and a few barrels of these have been rehomed, and a couple racks are temporarily living with @detroitdad, but most of my babies are still with me.
 
LOL. Me too. All this TRK p0rn is getting me excited. And here I am thinking they were plain looking :D. I’ve been schooled. My bad as well.
While my set can't hold a candle to most of the savvy collectors on here...I do love it still.

@liftapint helped me get started and this is the set I hold today! Thanks again Mel!
