I’m new here ,my name is David and very curious about a lot of things that I’m not knowledgeable about. I’ve poked my nose in here and looked around for a while but just starting learning what some things are like (Tina). I run a home game with a tournament followed by cash game using all abs chips. I’ve been looking to upgrade and thought I was deciding on a cash game chip from Apache and a tournament set from Monte Carlo but after seeing some posts about group buys I’m very interested but I’m worried about quality, feel and all that and I just don’t understand how it all works. I’m not stupid but my reading and writing comprehension is bad at times and I’m just a little slow learner lol. Any advice would help k, thanks

Since you are interested in group buy chips and unsure of their quality/feel, you can order samples of them by posting in this thread:

Thank you!so are all of the group buys from the same manufacturer and or will have the same feel, weight, ect? I see different molds and I believe know what that means but other than that I’m lost lol.

The main difference in samples will be label versus no label:

Cards mold and No mold chips will have the design printed directly onto the chip (no label).

Web mold, Jester mold, Sun mold, and Greek mold chips will have a recessed center for a label. These chips will have a different feel compared to the no label molds.

If you get samples of each mold, then you can decide which mold has the weight and feel you prefer.
