My poker chip set (1 Viewer)

[Chyros]

I'm sure it's very basic to most of you, but it's over 10 years old now and well-loved xD . The plaques and orange 50s are a more recent addition - the plaques especially add a nice, meaty feel to the set. The set is still in use .

Although there are obviously better chips, one thing I like about these chips is that they strike a very nice balance between ornamental and functional. It does have edge markings, but not overly colourful or distracting ones. It's got value markings - clear and concise. It's got suit-type patterns; ornamental, but monochrome, and they don't get too much in the way. Also, the injection moulding is nice and sharp; there's very little in the way of mould defects.

Hope you like the pictures!

I've never heard of poker chips/plaques referred to as meaty

Good for you for sticking with a set for 10+ years .... and +1 for adding an orange chip

The first tournament I ever played in used these chips, but without denominations. We where 12 players, 2nd place won 2 buyins, and the winner could choose to either getting paid 10 buyins or have a portion of the winnings paid in chips since the host had bought too many.

This was the first time I ever saw poker chips live and I was amazed by them! I remember that the yellow was the lowest denomination and therefore looked pale and weak. At the end the yellow was re-introduced as the highest denom and I felt that it glowed like gold!

I had an amazing run of beginner's luck and took down the tournament without knowing what I was doing. I asked to have as much of the prize as possible consist of chips, but alas, the host had changed his mind and kept them all...

I caught the chip bug that night and used the winnings to pay for my very first chip set... and I have been hosting ever since!

The only thing I dislike about the oranges is that, being a much later production sample, the size of the lettering is completely different from that on the other chips xD .
