ASM Poker Chips
Purchased from: www.pokerchips.com
Price Paid: 92¢ each (note that prices have risen since I purchased these, my same order today would cost about $1.02 each)

These are high-quality clay chips with many options for customization. They sound and feel great, and look even better. The more elaborate edgespot configurations are a bit pricey, but overall these chips are a very good value.

Pros:

• Customization: 21 colors, 7 edgespot configurations, and 6 molds to choose from (depending on edgespot/inlay choices), plus you can design your own inlay.
• Quality: Weight, feel, and looks are all top-notch. Very low defect rate in my order, which was easily covered by the extras included.
• Toughness: It's difficult to hurt these chips, you have to actively attempt to damage one (or be rather careless) before a chip will break.
• Price: The less elaborate options available can be had for a very reasonable price, and price breaks are available at certain quantities. Additionally, there is no fee for artwork or full color printing on inlays.
• Service: Emails were always answered promptly, and the ladies were always helpful and friendly on the phone.

Cons:

• Price: Dual-color edgespots are now $1.45/chip for small orders, and single-color spots are $1.25/chip.
• Wait: ASM's website states that the average wait is 10 to 12 weeks for custom orders. My wait time was exactly 20 weeks. Be prepared to wait a while for these.
• As soon as you receive your order, you'll immediately want to get more!
