Can you substitute the (NJ) Desert Sands instead of the skulls?

I think they are same chip.

Has anyone compared them side-by-side?

yeah they're the same physical chip (NJ and desert sands) but I dont think you can swap them. Ask PSO though. maybe they will do it.

I have the same question. The moderator of the PSO forum says 'NO", so now I'm working on the Nevada Jacks rep that posts there.

I believe I read a post on the PSO forum indicating that substitutions can NOT be made.

I was thinking absolute since 400 hands seems pretty easy and I don't think I'll ever want rakeback there.

It's possible Absolute will get their act together and stop screwing people over on rakeback. Not likely, but possible. If they do, it will be a nice deal. I would do Titan or Poker Room instead, and save Absolute just in case.

Try Titan, I cleared my required hands in less than 3 days and I play less than 2 hours a day.

These are some really nice chips. Got mine about 3 weeks ago. Very good deal.

Bumping this to say I got my chips and they kick ass, but seem a little bit sticky. Has anyone who has played with these noticed them becoming better as they get worn in?

Yes they kick ass and yes they are sticky... Check this stack-action out:

I would imagine it would take a lot of play for the "stickiness" to wear off significantly (I assume you're talking about the sandpaper-like feel and not spilled soda-type stickiness).

It took a few minutes of practice, but they are still very shufflable (word?).

I have a 1000 chip NJ DS cash/tournament set (now a combined 1300 thanks to this promo). The chips do start out somewhat tacky as the rough texture of the chip, but over time and play it will smooth out somewhat, but not entirely. Several weeks of constant wear from practicing chip tricks may produce a white wear-line around the outer edge of the chip, but I haven't seen this with "normal" use in my regular set.
