Solid chips (1 Viewer)

[Cyo]

Does anyone else like solid chips? There's something just nice about a chip with no spots.

Of course, I love a good edge spot, I'm just saying that solid chips have a certain flair that one doesn't often see.

Damn right I love solid chips! (y) :thumbsup:

When the right shades are put together they are pure class.

I'm working on three solid sets at the moment. One Paulson (12 colors) "utility set" large enough to use either as cash or tourney or other table games. The other two are BCC T-molds sets, one cash and one tourney. All three sets to be milled & labeled.

Honestly....sorry but I prefer spotted way way more than solids. Unless it’s a hotstamped frac., I need spots!

Solids ftw!

Yup. Not that I don’t appreciate edgespots, I just always gravitate to solids...

Immpretty sure theres a “solids” thread ive seen where everyone posts pics of there solids. I think they look very sharp. Someone has a set of plain solids. Very cool

I've had several solid sets. Currently have two.

Solid hot stamps are where it's at!

 

[derekdd23]

I'm currently at something like 12 sets (you might have a problem when you are no longer sure). All sets have edgespots. While I aspire to have something of each type of chip (ABS, Ceramic, China Clay, Hotstamps, etc...), solids are the only chip type I do not care to own.

That said, there are a couple of compelling solid sets out there. The Sunsets which are more like small pictures in a simple clay frame, and the rustic Hitching Post come to mind. Those are well-themed though, and spots would detract from that theme.

The rest of the time, spots help players make better estimations of opponents' stacks, add an extra layer of security against dirty stacks, and basically look intentional.

Sorry, but I don't care for solids. Edge spots all the way!

I really like solids. I think a cpc solid set is a great choice and I actually prefer them to overdone edge spots. Proper spots are awesome but I feel that edge spots (especially on cpc chips) must be carefully planned out because colors can easily create dirty stack issues.

I prefer sets with spots, but I do like solids.
I’m planning on one day milling and labelling this set. I just need to find the time.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

Love solids for tournament chips.

If I were to get a set of solids, they'd have to be hotstamps!

I'm the opposite. I have little love for any hot stamp chips. (I know, I know, don't hate me.) Solids with a good label however, have a special allure.

I prefer solids for Tournament sets & hot stamped solids for Cash Fracs.

Without looking at your join date, I know that you are new to chipping. Most, if not all of us, disliked hotstamps initially. Over time, many learn to appreciate them. I guess they're like coffee or beer. Nobody likes it at first, but after a while you can get hooked.

 

[RussB42]

I have always preferred solids...

 

[ParrotheadMZ]

I love solids. More for tournaments but I like a simple solid cash set as well.
Solid hotstamp are what got me hooked on chippin’

 

[bentax1978]

I’ve always had a soft spot for hotstamped solids. In fact, when I recently cut my chip collection in half, one of the five keeper sets was a set of hotstamped solids. Technically they were tournament chips, but they work well as a smaller stakes cash set too using the NCV blues as a frac. Old-school leaded casino Paulsons FTW!

Full breakdown is 100/200/500/50/50, but the case only holds two-thirds of them

So that's where all the GC Biloxis went...

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

One of my favorite sets of all time:

That's actually only half of the ones I have, the other half is a tournament set (that is going to a new home later this month).
