Here’s a funny thing. I dislike that spot pattern. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, but because it’s been copied to death, most notably (but far from exclusively) by Majestics.

same, actually.
PNYs do literally nothing for me
I’ll be the first to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
That said, why the WTHC chips get so much love confounds me... personally, I think they’re one of THE ugliest chip sets out there.

Christmas chips. Red and green should not mix.

$12 - 12th month is December (Christmas). It's a Christmas chip. To do it any other way would be sacrilege.View attachment 665225
A masterpiece by @Psypher1000
Could still be used in a set as $25 or 20, if the $5 is not red.
Hmmm but Christmas is on the 25th... so there's that haha
I know, man; I just claimed it would be a legit chip for "normal" use also (with another denomination on it).

As a good rule of thumb, I don't really care for anything that:
1. Has a grossly oversized label. What in the hell is this? It looks so tacky!
2. Is hot stamped. When I first learned to play, the first set I used were these turkeys and they looked kinda tacky. I should be thankful that this brought me into chip collecting in the first place, but honestly... I don't care for them:
3. Pretty much anything in the dice chip quality category, including the 13-14g chips each. I figure if you don't know what those are, you're probably in the wrong place.
4. Anything that's cheaply made or can be knocked off too easily, case in point the Scroll ceramics or this:
This was actually my mom's first love as far as a chip set is concerned but then I saw how prone they were to breaking and I went "hold up". I don't collect a lot of China Clays because most of them don't look as customizable as I'd like but even by this standard, I didn't care for it.
5. Anything that's too traditional a design. Take a look at this:
The quarter chip is actually nice looking, but the rest of these I could take or leave unless I re-labeled the shit out of them. The font looks too much like someone wrote it with a typewriter and the first time I saw these chips, I had to go on my laptop to verify it wasn't a turd in the pot, when the color is that dark brown, that's what it looked like. I literally went "no one would make that". I showed this chip to one of my friends and she said it looked like it came out of the '70s. Maybe the $1 was just poorly made compared to the others in the collection in this picture but the edge-spot alignment is an eyesore for me at least in that picture. The rest of them are okay, but I really don't get the appeal.
6. I hate to crap on Gene's work (I think the guy's a genius) but this is one of the worst chip designs I've ever seen:
why? It almost looks like someone's making a meme when you put the dollar amount in the chip. There's nothing wrong inherently with the design but the numbers kill it for me. The numbers should have been better integrated into the chip, if you look at my current favorite from Gene, the DDLM, you'll see that it does fit. You can make that amount any amount you want, and it will still look like it belongs on the chip.

I would take those and integrate a nice label on them. Those colors would be bitchin' for a cash set.

Yikes!
(But I secretly agree also, but as I've come to LOVE my set, I could never harm it that way...I thought I could when I first started buying)
No argument in this regard either. The 25K could be the $1s, and I could use the T5 for a frac, and oh...yellow $5s. Amazeballs! Can go full Cali Infact. The 500 can be a $25

You know that gives me an idea for the Midnight cash set.
People have talked about like using an orchid color for the $5 chips instead of the standard red, maybe I could make a Cali cash set and do something like that.
Plus if we go to the plates, we can use the same colors again for high marks -- like have $1000 be Fire Orange. You know Jeevans, you might get a reward from me yet if we can make this a reality.

Anything that goes “chink.”
Those would look fantastic with a nice inlay lol.

Awe, someone stole my potato chips idea. So I have three entries.
3) This chip that got in the way of a .45 ACP round
2) This chip for breaking my blender
1) This chip for being my first homemade chip (the interlocking chip behind it might be #4)

Never have understood the appeal myself. Happy to get hit with flying objects, I'm a tough guy!

This is a total case of irony, but I kinda agree. I had originally planned to get a set of Nevada Jack Saloons but the design was too boring. The Skulls are a bit too macabre, yet I do enjoy the DDLM.
My mom hated the Tiki Kings with a passion because she thought it was too cartoony, and we both agreed not to get the NJ Skulls or Saloon (the Skulls were too macabre and the Saloons were too boring). She died before the DDLM's were sold but I'm actually okay with them, if for no other reason for my nice semi-custom $7 whites, $13 oranges and $64 blacks.
