Horseheads look cheap?

AZnuts · #1 01-08-2005, 07:17 PM

I have a new order in process with Pokerchips.com; the artwork is being finalized. My subject matter was driven by my wife's commments . . .

I asked her if all else were equal, colors & graphics etc., does she prefer the A-mold or the Horsehead mold? She said definitely the A-mold, because the Horsehead pattern made it look like a cheaper chip. She's not a chip connoiseur, but has some experience handling real chips from table games in casinos.

She's representative of the average casual player who will use these chips in home games. I was originally leaning Horsehead, but I could go either way since the chips otherwise look and feel the same.

Any comments out there on preference, or any similar type feedback chip owners have had?

Out of the pokerchips.com/asm molds, I like the Horsehead mold the best. To me it is similar in its simplicity to the hat/cane mold. Plus, if I am not mistaken, they Horsehead mold was used for a few casinos a long time ago. Take my advice with a grain of salt, though, as a I have a set of chips with the horsehold mold and love them. Good luck.

I like the A mold the most. I like the notched look and the A symbols are very subtle. I think it's a more classic look than the horse heads. Get samples of both and then decide. I liked the roman mold best from the pictures, but didn't like the sample at all.

I like the A-mold the best with the HH being a very close 2nd... the Roman-o is a distant 3rd. The HH mold probably has more recognition (IMO & I'm certainly no expert)... check out Mold Designs Info

My vote is for the horsehead mold. It's always been my fave.

I like both American and HH, would have trouble deciding between the 2 if it came down to it. Don't like the Roman at all though.

I like the look of the Roman, but from what I've heard it's not as nice as the others. Looks CAN be deceiving I suppose.

HH for sure with the A mold a good second. I think you'd be very happy with either choice. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

So if you were me ( and let me stress, that you aren't me in this case) You would choose the A mold. And for this reason...I live in Atlanta hence the A has some symbolism to me.) If you find something that relates to the A, pick that mold. Other wise I like the Horsehead for its generic interpretation. I mean what does a top hat and cane have to do with the casino's that use it's mold?
