Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

I put these chips in front of my Mom, and said "pick which one you like best." Which one do you think she chose?

I'm thinking the nice, plain, simple super diamond.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

The one with the metal slug...or the All-In Chip. *yuck*

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

probably the pink all in chip.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

Well, if she was your mom, she'd probably do a bit of "research" on which ones you had made before she answered.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

She's your mom, so she picked the Egyptian one.

If not that, I say the horsehead

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

Did she pick them up and handle/play with them, or just choose on looks only?

You know mom...
 

picked your chip. BTW, it IS the nicest looking one in that bunch.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

I'm guessing it was the pink "all-in" chip...or the "cool" gold-stamped PoS.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

Martini Club

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

Probably your egyptian chipco [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] that kind of makes it unfair, take that one out of the mix then re-issue the survey [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

My first thought was the All In chip but I'm going with the Martini

Mom just loved the hot-stamped crown on the right, didn't she?

I think that's a metal inlay matsui chip...

anyway, I vote for the red hot-stamped dice chip

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

Hey wait a second... it's rigged... putting a $500 chip amongst those lower value chips... what else would she choose!

I say the hot-stamped dice one."It's easier to read the value!"

peace.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

Jeez: even MY Mom knows that the Egyptian set is your custom set.

If the other custom art is a dog in a graduation cap (hard to make out the picture), I'm going with that one. Otherwise: ooo pink.

enough already! The suspense is killing me.

She immediately liked the Matsui coin-inlay chip. She didn't even look very hard, hence not noticing that one of mine was in there. She was "drawn" to the metal inlay apparently.

I asked my wife which ones she liked the best and she picked both of those. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Is that the one with the crowns? If so, I think you mean:

Correct, Elwood. I was only pointing out that it was not a hot stamp and then I went on to vote for the hot stamped chip. Rats. I never win anything.

Sorry Elwood, You're right too. I didn't get past "hotstamped" in your answer, which would be the red Dice chip with a hotstamped "$5" on it. The coin inlay is not hotystamped, but I see that's what you meant. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think the lesson we can all learn is that Elwood is always right [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

Not surprised on the matsui coin-inlay chip. They have a great look and feel, though the plastic's a little too slippery for my taste.

Too bad they can't get the plastic to match the classic Bud Jones chips. That would be killer.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

What's the deal with that NJ skull design...

Does anyone here own them and like them?

(and yeah I get 'dead man's hand' reference)...

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

pwn3d!

That's what my g/f said, too, when I got my samples. "But, the metal one is cool!"

Ugh.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

I have a sample of the NJ skull composite chip....they're pretty meh.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

You have to excuse a chip n00b, but what kind is that white chip at the top left?

I am asking because my PokerStars chipset is that kind of chip.

It's commonly called a "suited" 11.5g chip. It is injection molded, ABS plastic, with a metal insert to give it weight. Without the insert, it is 7 grams (I know this because I own the "pre metal" version). It is usually referred to as "composite" or even "clay composite" if the seller is a bit of a truth stretcher. It's probably the most common type chip out there. There are many designs, but the most popular is called the "dice" chip, and this "suited" chip is the second most popular.

Update: I did the same experiment with my Dad. I didn't include my own Chipco, but replaced it with a stock "advertising" chipco chip.

His first choice: The black WPT chip. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Second choice: The Chipco. He made comments about the feel, weight, and quality of it.
Third: The coin inlaid Matsui.

Re: Pick the \"best\" chip of the bunch...
 

I have some of the Matsui coin inlay chips. The plastic on those chips feel very cheap to me. Hollow sounding unlike the Bud Jones chips.

I wish I had some BJ's chips to compare. I've never set hands on one.
