Found this site when I started looking into upgrading my suited chip set from college. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I'm most likely going with Nexgen Pros or a China Clay set. Once I get that figured out, I need to decide on denominations. Decisions, decisions!!!

Go Hawkeyes. Unless they are playing Purdue.

But I did put together this set for a buddy with some awesome help from @Gear ...

 

[IaHawk]

Wow, those are pretty slick. I haven't read too much into the custom inlay options but I like those a lot. Thanks for sharing!

And go Hawks!

Those look too be Majestic (china clay) blanks and Gear labels. A popular, cheaper option for customs.

I'm proud to say, after a few days on the site I was able to tell those were Majestic as well! Future me would be so proud.

Hawkeye fans know why the we chose the pink chip for the T5.

Got my sample set...now I know why people have more then one set. The only thing this did is make me upset I didn't buy something sooner.

And that's just some of the china clays!

And now the chips/denominations I'm considering. Initial thoughts...

Milanos - not a fan of the $5000 chip, too faded or something. Overall, I like the classic look of the chips.
Pharaohs - I like the different designs but again, not a fan of the $5000 chip, mainly the color.
Majestics - I feel like the colors pop more, I wish the purple was a little darker, maybe some oil will help with that. I can test that out later.

Decisions, decisions...

Before you judge, oil them all up, it makes an enormous difference IMO.

I agree, not a fan of the pharaoh $5k color. But, I love the pharaoh edge spot progression!
