1st Set Dilemma....China clays vs CPC Atlantic Club Hot Stamped??? (1 Viewer)

[PlaidDragon]

Although, if you order 500 chips and offer 5 chip sample sets for sale, and at least 20 people express interest, then you can have a 400ct 5 chip set.

Even if one didn't get 20 interested in some samples.... that just means a few more chips left over for you!

What type of China Clays were you interested in?

so far after getting the sample sets of milano, majestics , and phararohs im leaning towards getting a 400 chip tourney set of milanos because i found them to be the cheapest from pokerchipmania after watching william whites video. 400 looks like will run me $150 shipped. so im prob going to start there with my first purchase.

as a cash set i really like the pharaohs 5c, 25c, $1, and $5, and i really really like the majestics $1, and $5. so im in a bit of a pickle there. I either get all Pharaohs which will run me .42c a chip off Apache or i get some Majestic relabels from @Gear and switch the 50c orange chip to 5c and the $10 blue to 25c. and that would run me i think around .68c a chip for the relabels and then .38 for the regular. is it frowned upon to have mixed chips? like having 5c,25c pharaohs and getting $1,$5 majestics? probably huh.

Nothing wrong with mixing cc molds imo, although it will seriously tilt some around here with chip ocd issues. Even better if they play at your game.

what blanks are those in the picture?

They are the spirit mold. I got them at chipsandgames.com. @BGinGA know the total history of these chips, but as I understand it, they were one of the original china clays. if you're going to go semi-custom, in my opinion, its not a bad way to start. Getting labels from @Gear, you can be all in for around $.40 per chip. They also have some blanks with edge spots. Only problem is that since they are so old, you are definitely going to need to oil them. In my opinion, the semi-custom china clay is a great way to get into this hobby. You get your hands dirty and really find out what you like and don't like before you drop the big money on a set.

Take a look at their clearance section

http://www.chipsandgames.com/discountpokerchips.aspx?sort=2&size=60

as I count there are 11 different choices for the 10 gram clay chip blanks. All can be had for $.07-$.10 per chip. Order more than you need as a couple will break during shipping. I ordered 500 and ended up losing 6. But for this price, who cares!
