Royal Flush
Umm... well... I started with interlocking plastic as a youth. Bought a 500 chip slugged set around 2000, got back into buying chips in 2019. Started with 2 more slugged sets. Then found this place, the first Paulson I fell in love with was the Aces $3... literally never play home cash games, but a cash set was my first journey here on the forum. Honestly I am not above playing a T1 based tourney anyways so I could use them for both.
Since then @FordPickup92 and I have added several sets, all different types, I prefer a little bit of everything as opposed to a collection where all of the chips are basically the same other than color and inlay. TRKs, BCCs, custom CPCs, Fat Hats, 36mm little guys, Ceramics, Hybrids, ... I like em all!
Most recently bought a ceramic set, next is a Hybrid ceramic set, just because you go for quality chips doesn't mean you can't mix in the other stuff too!
But realize that while investing in the lower end stuff you may have to take a loss when upgrading if you don't intend on keeping both. So from that stand point I recommend going straight to the good stuff! It is OK to change your mind later and get your money back out of them.
If you mean customs from CPC I would wait a little longer and really get a sense of what you like before blindly jumping in on a set as customs also losses a bit of their value in the secondary market!
Good luck with the decision @SaltCityFish
