| | | Nexgen series for labels
Due to budget restraints I have decided to order some Nexgens and label them but I can't decide which series to buy so I thought I would poll you guys.

I would go with the original line (Las Vegas with single color edge-spots). I had about 700 or so of the River Poker Tour line and hated them. I still think they look the best as far as overall design, but mine had terrible problems with splits and rough seams along the multi-colored edge-spots. This seems to be a hit or miss problem because others here have reported the same thing while others still have not had any trouble with them.

I have a mix for my set - Yellow and Red of the 3 spot variety and Blue and White of the 4 spot variety.

IMO the 8000's are the only way to go.
They are money compared to the Bees.
Unless you can find a way to go with the color combo's of the Bees which I hate, the 8000's are sweetness. |

Bellagio Tribute Ceramics are another option - a group buy is currently underway. At 27.5 cents a chip (an incredible price for a custom ceramic)
it competes with Nexgens regarding cost. Faux Clays are another option, there's a discussion going on right now regarding getting a custom mold so lables can be applied. Nexgens are a good cheap chip, but they are sort oflike a "bridge drug" leading to the desire for more expensive chips. |

I would go with either some faux clays (I bet you didn't see that comming, eh) or the Bellagio replicas. The FCs will not break your account if money is getting a bit tight and they are (IMHO) better chips than the Nexgens. The Bellagio replicas are very nice ceramic chips at an incredible price during this group buy. If you can afford them, get in on the group buy. If money is an issue, get the faux clays.
