While I wouldn't call them ugly, they didn't quite meet up with my expectations when I got my samples. I love the contrast of the $1, but feel the others lack a little in definition for the overall picture. I think its that the "bricks" get lost on some of the colors to me. Just my personal opinion though.

One good thing I still have the money to get the Egyptian Paulsons which turned out to be more of my liking. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Keep your troll in your pants, OP.

I'm not enamored enough with either to purchase any but I sure as hell won't slam them in a new topic.

That's a real asshat move.

Easy there, tiger. Like I said in my original post, to each his own. I just think it's weird that everyone here seems to think that they're Jesus: The Poker Chip while I don't think they're that attractive especially from the side.

[smoore]

Very true, they're not that attractive. They're Chipcos. Chipcos are ugly. Therefore the egyptians and the suits are ugly.

I think of these chips like trying to polish a turd. However much you polish it, it's still a turd. The egyptians and the suits are the BEST chipco chips I've ever seen, including all the ugly crap they make us play with in casinos. Thinking about it, Fins might have made the best looking set of chipcos around.

I'm just a clay man. I'm still not going to start a whole new thread to slam someone's chips. Hell... I use nexgens.

it's an ugly business, polishing turds. my uncle made a go of it back in '83. the big chicago turd-polishers had his head. his head, i tell you.

[jojobinks]

yeah, but really, let's talk about fins chipcos. those are indeed some sweet chips.

IF a chipco is a turd, what does that make a 11.5 gm dice chip?

I wouldn't call chipco's turds, I find them quite appealing. I don't even try and compare them to a clay chip. In fact I tink everyone should own a set of both. While different I still love the sound of my ceramics.

As for the designs. Obviously I love the suits. AS for Ten's Chips, I don't think I would ever consider buying his chipco's. Just not my style. I don't like the way they look, but I do KNOW they look good. The design is flawless. It is well thought out and well executed. They are not ugly chips. They are just not what I myself would buy.

While still not hooked on the egyptian theme, the clays are very appealing.
Ten is dead on about the theme of the chips. It's what ties it all together. That's why is first set was so great and why his clays are going to be even better.
The hard part for me is a theme subtle enough that I know I will like it forever.

One of those horrible, nasty, foul anal sprays one leaves on a concert porta-potty after partying for 3 days straight. Can't even really polish those.
