Hi everyone, I recently joined the forum if you hadn't already noticed by my "fun player" post count. So my girlfriend wants to get me a poker chip set for my birthday, and when I asked for Monte Carlos she asked me to pick something nicer since she "read a review that the Monte Carlos aren't too great." So after a week of research, I find myself on PCF every day ogling at chip pr0n. But I digress - I'm here to humbly seek the advice of my fellow chip pr0n addicts on my first set for a cash home game my friends and I usually play.
We play HK$5/10 (~US$0.6-1.2, we're not that baller), and currently we have been using the same dice chips I got back in college. After doing a lot of research, I decided that I wanted high quality chips as it seems the more popular higher-end like China clays have issues that I personally would not be okay with (you can't unsee the perfection that are Paulsons). Anyways, I've really fallen in love with the hotstamp aesthetic but as you know there are only hotstamped tourney chips widely available.
What I've come down to are the following options:
Thanks!

What I've come down to are the following options:
- Use a hotstamped tournament set as a cash set (Paulson GCRs, Atlantic Club H/S, etc)
- Create a custom spotted hotstamped set from CPC using stock denominations to keep it simple and classic.
- Create a custom solid hotstamped set from CPC using custom dies (solid to keep costs in line with the other 2 options).
Thanks!
