I have one tourney set and they're the Post Oak Poker Club plastic chips. I actually like the idea of all of my tourney chips being plastic/ceramic if I add another set (played one tourney here in the past two years though - cash is king).
This is my main criteria for chips. Stacking/slickness. Whether clay, ceramic or plastic: if the chips will not end up sliding all over the place, I'm usually accepting of them. But it's not the ONLY criteria I have as a chip geek.I hate ceramics, and plastics. ChipCo? More like ChipNO... am I right?
They don't sound right, they don't feel right, and they don't stack right. They as so slick, a soft breeze will knock over a barrel. That's what grinds my gears.
May need to update that Bahamia picI'm that opposition... I love RHCs... especially Hot Stamped RHCs. That deep recess makes for a larger lip and if you can find some leaded HS RHCs... OMG best "feeling" chips IMO ever!

A whole set of Stamped RHCs, yes please!!

Been waiting years for a chance to own the beachy Bahamia's, love those original $1s but unfortunately not enough to go around... and I think Bill did a great job on these $1s

Bought those RHC quarters with absolutely no plan for what I would use them for, and I think they fit right in here.
Overall I think durability IS a factor, old school leaded BCCs, TRKs and THCs are always going to win the durability race. If you only have a couple sets that get endless use, then yes I would want old school leaded durability. But I also like variety! My collection is a bastard mix of everything out there and I love it that way! Still get compliments when I break out the cheap ceramic Donkey chips. Sunfly, the Super Poker World Mario cearmics... maybe just a weirdo, but doesn't really matter to me. I just like variety! Heck Krafty bought a set of dirt cheap Ilse tourney ceramics and I even enjoy those old things.
Maybe went a bit over board on the IGs as they are probably my most expensive set (about $25k invested in the tourney)
View attachment 9054
The newer "softer" formula concerns me on how they will hold up over time... but every single time I look at this set I absolutely love them! In for the long haul (meaning zero intentions of selling, doubt I could even get close to my money back anyways) but definitely the softer formula so I guess we will see. Plus the $5s are just MERICA aweaoness!

Overall maybe should have concentrated in a few more THC sets when it was possible. But again no intentions of selling any of them.
Poor man's poker chips is fine by me. Some other RHC line ups in the collection.

Soon as Bill sends the extra labels! Thank you and I totally forgot to say they made it! AND the new capper! Beautiful!! Never seen any of the Bourbon St. Hs tourney chips in person!May need to update that Bahamia pic
No problem and fair . Let's be honest we're both just anxiously awaiting the CPC chip too if it's anything coming from me.Soon as Bill sends the extra labels!

But can't "fake" a new pic when I know 2 of them are naked on one side! Lol
For sure going to be an epic capper if there ever was one! BTW @quintooo had your $1 City of Dawn as a capper with him Tuesday and first time seeing your customs in person! OMG beautiful chip bro!No problem and fair . Let's be honest we're both just anxiously awaiting the CPC chip too if it's anything coming from me.
Looking forward to the update when he sends them!
All I see are sexy ass Joker chips, a top hat and cane tattoo, and Johnny/Baldwin . But yeah he's the only person to have the $1 outside of the three full sample sets. Hopefully I can hand you a CoD in the near future.For sure going to be an epic capper if there ever was one!

Ever since Baldwin started using that capper, he’s been crushing everyone…Look at him all smug, scooping with the steel-wheel! Damn @LouBdub giving him capper-luck.
