I've spent about a month on this board and am just now starting to get a feel for the "lingo" and the different types of high-end chips.
I still feel a little behind on the various types of chips, costs, and options and was wondering if there was an article or comprehensive list that covered the differences between the brands, the options, and their general costs?
I'm continuously challenged withe reading a GB thread where there's a statement like "costs will be in line with previous ASM GB's". When some one asks what those are there's a reference to another thread and you have to go slog through that to find out that ASM's with edge spots are around $.95 each.
I'd like to write an article but I don't think it would be dynamic enough, nor do I think I'm actually knowledgable enough of the subject. Prices change and new chips come out all the time.
Something like
Brand: Type: Cost : Notes:
Chipco: Ceramic : ~$1.00 :Takes graphics well :
Nevada Jack: Ceramic: $.80 : matte finish
ASM: Clay : $.85-$.95: price depends on edge spot style
Paulson: Clay : $1 : Custom options are limited
Blue Chip: Clay: $.98 :
etc...
I'm thinking that we need something like the "chip features" page I found at
http://www.homepokertourney.com/chips_charts.htm
but specifically for the custom and high-end chips that the population of this site loves so much.
