Chips played beautifully! It took guys a couple of orbits to get used to multiply chips value by 100, especially because in my tourney sets, the T500 is purple and the T2K yellow, and for the RA, T500 ($5) orange and T2K ($20) purple. After that, smooth sailing.

$5s and $20s played amazingly. The fracs played as I thought they would. The main surprise for me was the $1s which punched above its weight for me.

Only 7 players plus 4 re-buys. Didn't put any hundos in play.

Oh.... I see!

Best mixed set imo. Either purple chip would work.

Faces please, I don't have those!

This would require milling so prob not an option.

I’m thinking about this same thing. I want a non-denom to maximize flexibility. Current idea is to restamp the FD 15¢ but keep it as a FD (so just change the denom to an “x” or something) cause that’ll have the cleanest restamp.

Its pretty sweet having these kind of options. Imagine you could mill and hot stamp yourself too.... @Josh Kifer

Finally had time to wipe them down and oil them up. They pop even more now.

Hey, I noticed that you folks are ~really~ into poker chips.

Ok so I convinced @RocAFella1 to let me oil his agaves. Without question these benefit from oil big time. All of them. Primary colors are deeper/richer and edge spot contrast is improved (just like my Tiger hotstamps). In person it’s a big difference. Tough to get on camera but here are some close ups of oiled vs not yet oiled.

All agave owners (and tiger hotstamp owners) need to do this.

The only chip I didn’t get a before/after pic is the frac as I forgot to hold some back for the second batch, but they are also significantly improved. Does wonders for the salmon edge spot

An absolute must do!!

I’m against oiling Paulsons.

Let the pizza hands and chicken wingers do the dirty work

Oiled mine and very pleased. Did note that oiling hot stamps is a bit more labor intensive (and slightly slower) than chips with inlays…working hypothesis is that more chip face=more grip on the rag
