If you order directly from Tina it’s $0,35/Chip for Hybrid = $253,75 USD for 725 Chips and $138 Shipping to Canada.
(if you have your own design of course)

That's good to know. I figured a group buy would be cheaper but I guess not. If I'm not mistaken she's on Alibaba for direct orders right?

Do not concentrate on the money too much or you might settle for chips you don’t really love and you will start an endless cycle of selling and buying, losing a little cash each transaction. Find the chips you want, then make your budgetary decision. There are so many options available right now. Pinching Pennie’s don’t work if you’re not happy with the chips.

Ya for sure I feel that, made that mistake once and ended up with weird number of metal slugged poker knights LMAO.
I like the feel of BR ceramics but I have yet to see a set I like. Even scrolling through the forum. Maybe I haven't seen the right set. I haven't worked with a designer yet so who knows maybe I'll find something that suits me if I work with someone.
Idk what it is but I just like the look of a mold and label lol.
Definitely won't be making any purchases with the current exchange rates so I have time to think lol.

Not $300 better IMO
With that said I do think the BRPro are very nice chips but at the same cost as the Tina hybrids it makes for a tough choice.

Did you finalize your decision yet? If you are selecting based on availability of a 5c chip, if I'm not mistake, @justincarothers let's you swap labels to different base chips. I.e. within the Tina hybrid line , Justin allows you to put a available existing label from one base chip onto a different base chip.
I'd love to see someone rate the "Tina" hybrid molds. Not by looks (that's subjective) but by feel, especially for the slippery factor.
I don't have samples of all of them but I've read some say the WEB mold was the best of them. It would seem logical that they'd all feel the same as they are made on the same substrate material but yet, some say there are differences. I personally found the greek mold version to be quite slippery.
Anyone with exposure to all the Tina hybrids want to take this on?

I haven't experienced the Jester or the Sun Molds
The Greek Mold Set I have are my least favorite when it comes to playing they fall over the most and are the least enjoyable to shuffle. I stated in my original review it might be due to the label being placed wrong but it is most of the chips. They still stack incredibly well while being the slippery of the bunch.
Hat&Cane -
hat&cane hybrid Newcastle tribute set
First off they stack great I could stack 125, should have taken a picture. The 100 stack was surprisingly stable.
Secondly, Great placement for the sticker depth wise.
Third no issues with shuffling and quite enjoyable.
No Mold Hybrid both of my no mold sets work great.
The slippery issues brought up weren't a factor. Chips stack great and shuffling 8 or 10 chips just fine.
Big plus here, Perfect label placement.
And they stack at 100 just a bit of wobble
Two sets and one member likes them above the others. Seems to do the best with wear.
Had multiple stacks of 50 on the table with no wobble or tipping over. Also a bit more label space.
Scrowns/Cap&Dash hybrid
First I had some issue with what I thought were warped chips making them fit really tight in racks. I ended up buying some wider racks to fix the problem.
Secondly these stack the best 150 high.
Third they shuffle great. Don't like the price or the hassle to purchase it in my experience so I only got the one set.
Web mold is my tied for my favorite they stack wonderfully and they shuffle great.
The chis stack to 100 solid!
Final thoughts on public molds
Tina Hat&Cane are great and do fantastic job
No Mold Hybrid are wonderful and the colors are uniform on the chip. Most surprised by how much I like this one.
Web Mold are my babies. I love them.
Jester mold getting a set soon.
Sun Mold - I might skip due to what I have heard.
ABOVE ALL ELSE GET SAMPLES!
@SeanGecko : THANK YOU SIR! I actually had you in mind when I asked for a "slickness" comparison but didn't want to put it on you.
Now that you've done it, I think this is educational to all the Tina buyers.

I own these cards molds
Mine are new and unused so they don’t suck yet, but my friends after once a week for 6 months sucked ass! Like $.40 each I believe
I have these also from Tina which I believe was the very first set with the hybrid inlay (no mold)
Great chips! Almost a rubbery feel to them and the textured inlay is great! But they have only been in play a few times… how do they hold up over time? Not sure, I think we were into these for like $.60 each after shipping and re shipping, I would buy them again!
My sunfly chips are 43mm with a hybrid inlay, I love them But all of the stickers do not lay perfectly flat in the inlay and with a high gloss finish you can tell on the ones that don’t lay flat! As far as durability I think they are the best, you can put these in a hammer drill and break concrete and the chips will be fine! Made for the constant abuse a busy home poker room can throw at them!
I think they were closer to about $1.10 each when we ran that group buy. I would buy again, love the all 43mm.
BUT my babies of ceramics are the BR PRO non Chipco Super Poker Worlds!
I added on to this set 3 times! I freaking not only love the design, but BR PRO blanks are soo freaking smooth, they remind me of river stones. I don’t really care what the comparable price is, for me if you want Ceramic, BRPro 39mm house blanks are the best. IMO
