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)...

[JinX11]

pwn3d!

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

Ugh.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
