ASM Poker Chips (pokerchips.com)
Purchased from: http://www.pokerchips.com
Price Paid: 47¢ each (no inlays)

For people who enjoy traditional clay, ASM's are definitely worth a look. The prices have gone up since I purchased mine, but so have the options and overall they are still among the more affordable custom clay options out there. The sound and feel are very good, the quality is apparent as soon as you begin handling them, and it really does improve the poker experience to be using a quality poker chip.


Pros:

• Price: Stick to the basics and you can get a great chip at a great price
• Recessed Inlay (on the Horsehead mold): Just enough of a recess to apply thin labels without sacrificing stackability or playability
• Quality: They look, feel, and sound great yet they still hold up to even the rowdiest of games
• Variety: More and more edgespots are becoming available to CTers, as well as new molds, making it easier to create the chip you want
• Customer Service: Nothing but good things to say about the women who handle the customer side of things

Cons:

• Price: They can get pricey if you take advantage of some of the edgespot options (most of the really cool ones that is)
• Waiting Time: It is unavoidable that custom clay chips take time, and given the immense popularity of ASM's this is even more true, be prepared to be patient
