Get samples. Get samples. Get samples.

A shuffle stack of everything before you drop any money on a set.

As many have said, your tastes will be your own, so find out what you like and go after those.

And don’t get caught up in the look-love, FOMO and echo-chambering that can occur over certain sets. People now list sets on here for high 4 and low/mid 5 figures that I think look like they were drawn by a kid with a crayon. But, that is their taste, and if that’s what you like then find out and go for it.

All that said, Avalon Club tourney chips. Would have loved to snag some of those when I first started looking at sets.

Good luck!

In today’s market, Faro Dunes is a strong recent offering that checks nearly all the boxes for me: Paulson clay, THC (but no lead), an available cohesive and elegant design that should stand the test of time.

Very little chip pr0n for a question that asks, “WHAT SET STANDS OUT”…not “what you would do differently”… lol!

I think JD’s still “stand out” the most…

Absolutely, thank you!

I found this site years ago so I could get a custom set, cost at that time was well of of my price range for what I wanted to spend on my monthly game.....

This is what I started for and ended up with, couldn't be any happier with how they came out and what I paid for them

So as I have always said on here, there is no right or wrong way only YOUR WAY. Do what makes you happy, Make your Set Yours, no one is matters but yourself

Have a great day

Love to see it! Beautiful pup too

My favorite chip is a Paulson and I should have bought a custom set 15 years ago when they were only $1.25ish, but my 2 current favorite chips are: WheelerAssembly for his Vic's set - (Paulson) colors and design are just perfect (for me) https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/sneak-preview-vic’s-on-rt-66.131542/

My other fav is: MarquetMonkey - (CPC) for his Tip Top club. Design and colors really beautiful. https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/introducing-the-tip-top-club-custom-cpc-set.125102/
