Well after never using anything more than dice chips, I am taking the plunge into the chip world. Just ordered some samples of the china clays and ceramics and really excited to see the difference between my dice set

Not too large. Only around 7 of us at a time, usually 6 unless someone brings their partner. Have been watching around 10 to 15 videos a day from @Hobbyphilic on his YT channel and decided to take the plunge!
welcome! i second what @Lemonzest said. if you hang around here, you’ll just end up looking for paulson chips anyway, so save your money and skip the china clay step

Pleased to meet you!
I agree with whats written above. I myself really always thought china clays were the way to go but I got my hands on some used casino Paulsons awhile ago. That being said, I still ordered some china clays to further reassure myself.

Nothing wrong with CC chips. I have many Paulson and custom sets, but still get my Milano’s in play once in a while as a traveling set.

Nothing wrong with ceramics. Get what you like
Hello and welcome!
I showed my wife this and she about fell in the floor laughing, then proceeded to tell me that no matter what chips we buy she will be getting a cleaning kit lol
Just curious, what is the difference between a ceramic and a ceramic hybrid and why is the ceramic hybrid recommended in the same sentence as used casino chips? Are they comparable? What are some of your favorite ceramic hybrids?

Welcome!
A ceramic chip has graphics printed directly onto the faces and rolling edges.
A ceramic hybrid has graphics printed on an inlay, which is then stuck onto the surface of a ceramic chip, inside a recess specially made for said inlay. The chip material is otherwise the same as a ceramic chip.
You're a week-and-a-half too late. I just sold a nice size cash set (600+ chips) to another new member. I'll probably re-load over time, lightning can always strike twice.

Welcome aboard! You can always put up a wanted ad once you have enough posts if you really want starbursts. However get lots and lots of sample first anyway.

Still a cash set of Valentinos on the classifieds worth checking out: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...igned-edge-spots-big-cash-set-or-split.32908/
You might have to add some quarters if you want to go lower stakes. You could do that directly from the original vendor: https://www.apollonchips.com/chipseries/valentino.html

Paulsons are def the way to go IMO. If you shop around and take your time you can get them for around a buck a chip in used condition.
The Paulson Elites or Monaco chips are a great option if you want that brand new feel/look.

In b4 the deluge of "that's not enough chips because more = better"
But, there's some truth to that. Anticipate a bigger game or different stakes. There's something to be said about flexibility even if your current game isn't as big or cash-flush as it could be.
What game and stakes are you playing where you only need 300 chips? If you only need 300 then go with Paulsons. That will be much faster and easier. You can always sell them and get customs made later.
If anyone is interested I have over a full rack of these available in the classifieds for 90 plus shipping
mint paulsons for less than a buck each. Only drawback is the stamp "LND". You can also get these milled and labelled with the member here "Gear" aka Chris.
