Which will you choose > Mint RHC or Worn THC as a playable set? (2 Viewers)

[LeLe]

If you can only afford one set and both set cost the same price.

Which one will you choose between the two as a playable set?

A) Mint RHC
B) Worn THC

Spoiler

Personally, I had used and owned both. And ultimately, I find myself preferring Mint RHC over Worn THC.

This is my nightmare scenario...

If PCF has taught me anything, it’s why not both?

That will make the poll too easy plus everyone have unlimited desires for more chips but don’t always have the same unlimited funds & storage space to match it

Mold is not everything. Spots, inlays, history, design, etc is more important than mold alone. Also price.

On average probably thc for me, but there would be many match ups where I'd choose rhc as well.

Mint RHC as I like the idea of new. Though maybe ignore me; I've never seen either in person. Live in the land of only plastic chips from China.

You should start planning a vacation to Paulson Creek

Depends how mint and how worn. I don’t like mint never felted chips. They’re too sharp and uncomfortable. Usually if they’re still sharp but have already been used a couple times is best for me.

I also don’t like wafers. If they are rounded and bike tires then I’d rather not.

The perfect chips, for me at least, is somewhere in between.

I have owned several casino used THC and RHC sets, I don’t own any now. Lightly used is fine though.

I own a couple of new RHC sets now (mostly because new THC sets have become more than I am willing to pay for a set).

Thankfully I was able to acquire a couple of THC sets over the years so I don’t need to have more.

Sadly even the nicer RHC sets have gotten pretty expensive with the $5 chips costing over $4/each now.

I'm the only one here, I think, that doesn't care if they're mint or not as long as they're somewhat reverse progressively worn. I.e. I don't want brand new 5s, worn 25s and bike tires 100s. If it's the other way around, that's fine as that's what you get in casinos.

In fact, I prefer them not to be mint. It's like driving a brand new car of the lot if I later want to sell them to you maniacs.

If you add Tinas to the survey I think it could reveal quite a bit about the current climate.

How worn THCs?
Bike tire THC < mint RHC but
Perfectly broken in buttery smooth THCs >>>>> mint RHC

Also this:

Like how "worn"? Bike tires, I'd go with mint RHC. Pretty decent worn, go with THCs. Without further info on "wornness" and blind I'd lean worn THC.

 

[mike32]

Mint RHC by a ton. They are still pretty damn nice chips. I own several RHC sets that I bought as mint and I love them. I have mint THC sets also that are even better, but the RHC are still pretty damn fine in my opinion.

 

[FestiveKnight]

Voted for worn THC. Don’t need my chips to be dead super duper hardcore infinity mint and much prefer THC to RHC.

As long as the worn chips have been really cared for. Cleaned and oiled. Consistently worn. They shuffle very nicely and carry a lot of history.

Mint Tina or used Tina?

Mint Tina or used Tina?

This is even a trickier question. If Tina is mint shes likely to not have any skills ; )

How worn are we talking? Worn like the 5s in the picture below?

Or are we talking more worn like the 5s in this picture?

 

[allforcharity]

This is a toss up. In general I would prefer using a mint RHC.

However, there is something also very nice about the handling of a well-loved leaded THC chip (not bike tire) that an RHC would never reach. THC also age better with use (fewer flea bites).

 

[Josh Kifer]

RHC? Gross!

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Easy decision

 

[kmccormick100]

Used THC (as long as they're not bike tires) and it's not even remotely close

Especially if the THC set is leaded. Yum yum.

What set is the top picture??

It's a mixed THC set I have. Lower denoms were relabeled to match The Pub 5s.

Great colours!

OP says "playable set". So if you do get some nice new RHC chips and put them in play, they will eventually become worn RHC chips. So the question is kind of a "apples vs oranges" comparison. "New" this vs "used" that.
Why not ask this: "If Paulson were to open up production to the public again and only offered RHC and THC molds as options, which would you buy?"

In the initial scenario, price is the same. Wouldn't be in this case.
