Matsui or Bud Jones?? - NOT !

These don't appear to be cheapo chips. Could they be Matsui or Bud Jones? If so, awesome price for 100 chips for those who have or want these type of chips.[eBay=360784954133][/eBay]

Unfortunately, those are neither Matsui or Bud Jones. They're just cheap plastic chips with metal inserts. You can even find them on Amazon for about $80 for a set of 500.

Really? Must be something new on the cheapo slugged chips market. I haven't seen chips like those before.. so now they're doing knock-offs of matsui as well. Are you sure about this. I've been "chipping" for a long time. The edge spots on these don't look like any cheapo designs I've seen before, they really look like something from Matsui, Bud Jones, or possibly RT plastics (which I don't know if they still exist). I'd like to hear more opinions of these now.

They are just plastic slug chips. You should get a sample set if you like them and check them out for yourself.

LOL, I'll pass on that. I'm glad you found them. The edge spots are pretty good for plastic chips. Technology is getting better all the time.... too bad they don't stack, sound or feel any better. I should have believed Ski, they almost had me fooled.

Thank goodness Tommy found the link at discountpokershop.com, as I just noticed that the Amazon price has gone up to about $95 for the 500 PRO POKER chip set. discountpokershop.com still has them for only $80! We need to get them while we can. This looks like a strong investment opportunity!

Kidding aside, I think the "stenciled letter" font used by these chips is what perhaps tricks people into thinking "Matsui".
