So I am very new to the poker chip pursuit game. I recently purchased a tournament set for up to 3 tables (just in case) and am currently working on a logo for a custom cash game set. The plan was to then be done and save. Both my tournament set and future cash game are China Clays. I know they are not the best but they are a huge step up from the ABS chips I’ve grown up on.
I was quickly drawn to the Paulson Classic chips. They are clean simple and beautiful. I was drawn to them so much so that I almost down graded the quality of chips for my tournament set to the lucky Horse Shoe ABS chips that seemed similar in design. I desired against it and moved on but that itch was still in the back of my mind.
2 days ago I saw a thread for a chip set I had never heard of before… Spirit Mold China Clays. It was the perfect in between! How had I not heard or seen these as I had shopped and browsed the interwebs for months on end?! And then I found out, the company that makes them is no longer in business and the chips are gone. As I kept reading threads I found someone talking about purchasing some on HTDepot.com … could it be? Was there a chance? I quickly visited the site and found the chips I’d been looking for! In stock and on sale! How could I be so lucky?! $99.99 for 500. Buying 2 sets would be exactly what I wanted and I could re label them down the road.
I called the company just to see if changing the amount of colors in the case of 500 was an option, but instead of answering my question the lady (who was very friendly and the the sound in her voice like she knew she was breaking my heart as the words came out of her mouth) said those chips are completely sold out and they are going out of business so there will be none available in the future.
I would have never guessed that I could be heart broken over poker chips. But here I sit, writing a post to my new found poker chip friends on the internet, heart broken & confused. Thanks for reading and if anyone has sets of these spirit mold chips I’d sure love to see em.
