After much deliberation and research, and with consideration of my budget overseer, I decided on Milanos. While I like the Majestics better, I have a table with black felt (SSC), so I decided the lighter inlays of Milanos would be better. I bought a 1K set from a local vendor of new Milanos.
Since they are new, there is some chalkiness to them so I am in the processing of oiling them (using the https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/oiling-chips-done-right.14343/ technique). I am seeing a big difference. Pics to follow...
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, and can't wait to get them in play.
- I was prepared for differences in height, but amazingly they are all very consistent in height.
- The colors from roll to roll are all the same too.
- The only issue with color was with the pink $5Ks. I needed 2 rolls for a count of 50. When he put them down in front of me in the cellophane, it was clearly 2 different colors of pink. I could see that through the wrapper and I'm partially color blind. I almost cancelled the whole transaction. The salesman behind the counter said it wasn't a problem because the "$5,000" was clearly visible in both. While true, I knew the standards of this group, so I blew off that statement. I solved this problem by getting 1 roll of the darker (more vibrant) pink roll, and got 1 roll of the orange $10K. Not ideal, but still workable since it is a tourney set.
- I think about 5-6 of the stickers are loose. None have come off yet. This isn't a big deal for me as I will glue them back on if/when they come off. Not a bad count for 2K stickers.
