Has anyone tried these chips? Just wanted to know since I was thinking of investing in a set.

Is there anywhere that is cheaper to buy these chips. I really want 500, but don't have 510$. Does anyone else think that is a really large amount to pay?

From a quality standpoint, they are excellent Chipcos. The price is reasonable, if you like ceramic chips.

From a design standpoint, they are near-replicas of the chips used at the WSOP 2004 Finals.

So from that perspective it's not a lot to pay, if you are willing to pay for ceramic quality and WSOP status.

I agree with you completely. But when you look at it like, "I am spending .5k on poker chips!", it seems a little bonkers. I am actually really unhappy with the state of most poker chips these days, but I think these are the best things I have ever seen in my life. I like them better than any of the pc.com chips I have seen, and I like them better than Paulsons. I am in love with these chips. I have a birthday in May, so if my mom and pops don't wanna shell out 500 bucks, I will chip in (pun intended). I think I would only go with the top four denoms though. The yellow black, black yellow, pink light blue(I think), and the black red. Incredible chips. How do they feel, stack, and sound? Anyone? Can you get samples?

I think you can order these in quantities of 1 ea. from www.cardroomsupply.com for a sample set. A complete sample set would run you $7.70 plus S&H.

If you really want these chips, I would suggest that you save/beg/borrow/etc. until you can get them.

Waiting is terrible, I know. But most people (including me) who've had an experience of "settling" for something less, end up getting what they really wanted after all, and spending extra money in the interim.

These are terrific, high-quality chips that will last for many years. If you need chips in the meantime, I'd honestly suggest 11.5g "dice" chips or something in the $.06 - $.10 range. They'll work just fine and remind you of how much money you're saving up for your WSOP Tourneys!
