Great choice! I would now advice you to take your set, be happy with it and leave this place behind, but…
…clearly you’re about to fall far down the rabbit hole.
It is a slippery slope. Next thing you know that "one" first set has expanded to 1000+ chips, you have a full separate tournament set, and assorted racks/barrels for "future projects". Oh and the samples, singles, and dealer buttons keep comingGreat choice! I would now advice you to take your set, be happy with it and leave this place behind, but…

I thought the same about the price... spend enough time on PCF and one day something just changes and you have a rack of mint Paulsons lol
I did the same initially and grabbed a barrel of both. 100% worth while. If you do this, keep an eye on the classifieds and find another barrel of used but good conditioned $1's to compare. You should be able to find one for pretty cheap. These are pretty worn down and basically all bicycle tires. Or don't find any in better condition or mint and potentially save yourself a lot of money. I was curious and found a barrel of mint Jack secondaries and that opened the wormhole for me.
I didn't buy the sample because they didn't have the 5c. Apache said the 5c is similar to the $1,000. anyway I purchased 5/25//100 and an aluminum case from discount poker. Majestic looks like Royal. When the restocks of Majestic and Bank are available, I'll use some of my social security check for them.
Apache doesn't have that denom in their sample set. I WILL purchase 5c when it becomes available.
Interesting, at least several months back I thought the 5c chip was in the sample set I received. They must really have zero stock of the 5c chip even for samples then. I may have a couple loose stock 5c chip if anyone is interested and wants to see one that I can dig up. I can confirm it is the $1000 chip with a different label though.
I got into chipping early March. I have $1 casino chips from where I played 21. I did play at Sahara at a small buy-in tourney. So I feel justified to buy a few sets and even more sample sets. Only buy what appeals to you. I am buying anything that looks like a poker chip with a $figure or a deck of cards except yin-yang.
They should include both the 5c and $1000 for chippers that are completists and will buy down the line at least a barrel of each.
Now I'll have to go through my sample chips to see if odd or even.
There are several odd sample sets. I hope I am not misunderstanding your post. If so, I apologize.
and I bought the odd one's. Not that it mattered. I bought what caught my eye. I didn't buy the Majestic sample because I wanted that 5c. I might reconsider.
Very logical indeed. I'll get a barrel of the $1,000 to stroke my OCD. I'll probably get 1/5/25/50/100 of the Bank chips. I already have 5/25/100 of Majestic for my non-existent micro-stakes game. After those purchases, I'm done accumulating.You are correct about the two chips (5c and $1000) being the same, that's the reason why they wouldn't include it in the sample set. Most people are looking to see how the colours look in their own gaming room, and also want to see how the chips feel/sound.
Also, highly unlikely that a set using a nickel, would also need a 1000 chip. So not much chance of ever having those two denominations in play at the same time.
Freakin' Funny!!
