| Re: Holy Smoke! The new wave of poker chips! lets face reality, the true Top Hat & Cane will never be available to the custom home game.
Right now, there seems to be a really heavy interest in chips but I suspect, there will be a breaking point. You technically have (3) types of chips on the move right now.... The casino collectibles which prices will remain somewhat neutral.... The custom homegame sets.... and lastly the custom fantasy sets designed by vendors or a fellow chipians.
For me, i do not understand the demand for the 3rd option (no offense to any GB organisers). A year ago, it made alot of sense because the options were limited, but now there is just way too many options around. If I were to go with a fantasy casino chip, why not just buy real casino chips. The prices are somewhat on the same range. I guess if quantity and price break is what drives people towards this option (like the matsui GB) then its understandable. |
