Considering buying a Bud Jones set, been playing cards at my local casino that uses BJ’s for years. I like the feel of them, unlike most. Worth buying, Will they hold their value?

Buy chips to play with. They are not an investment. Buy them, use them, sell them when you are done using them.

Some of my favorite BJs are poker chips!

Not all Bud Jones chips are alike.

I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the V7 line, but many are. I've found the V6s have the Bus Jones suction issue more than other lines. I didn't notice it at Mystic Lake when they used V6s, so it may eventually break in. But the Parker's I played with had it pretty bad.
My favorite Bud Jones like is the S2 line. The only drawback is that they only come in 39mm.

Who doesn't like BJ's?
Bud Jones are casino quality chips so yes, they're worth it. The main issue is that compared to clays there is a smaller market for them so while you'll likely be able to move them on, there are fewer people who would want them so sales may take longer.

I prefer Bud Jones in the casino for their ability to resist "Hooker Juice". In the home setting, it's not nearly as necessary, unless your players are absolutely disgusting.
I would not invest in chips though. Mostly because I buy and buy and never sell, so the return on investment is zero.

I like how you took the trouble to clarify that you are talking about BJs 'the chips'. Judging by the frequency with which comments here are pounced upon by members to feed the 'Out of Context' thread, one has to assume that people at PCF are getting plenty of poker but very little of sex

Is that what they meant when they say "splash the pot" ?

Those CIC chips are like those pucks with the silver ball in the middle from table top hockey games of the 60's and 70'sWay better. Way, way better, IMO.
(I say that, and I own a set of those SEs, too.)

Pretty sure that’s what Canterbury uses (S2’s). I like the look of those best.

Agreed.
I didn't get any takers when I was looking for sometime to harvest Canterbury chips for me...

what does harvest mean? I’m new in here but at Canterbury fairly often and find a ton of chips in my pockets from time to time - is that what you mean?

Yup, buying chips from the cage and taking the ones in the best condition to add to your personal collection.

To answer the OP question, YES, they are worth the money!
BJ CIC are a personal favorite of mine. Worth the money, yes in my mind.... I got to fiddle with some of those big easy chips, and they were fantastic.

I might be able to help out. What are you looking for and how does that work exactly?

I was looking for someone to pick up 1-2 racks of these chips:
I planned to relabel them as fracs. No one took me upon it and I went a different direction.
As for how it would work, we would agree on a price (face value + something for your effort) and you would harvest chips. Once you had the agreed quantity, you would ship them to me.
Maybe someone else would be interested in your chip harvesting services... Someone who would like to relabel these into Big Easy fracs, perhaps.
