Got my samples of Nexgens today. Not too fond of the feel. I am getting custom artwork done and am excited about my own labels. Is there an in-between chip from the Nexgens to the ASM, TR King, Paulson level/price? Ceramic or clay? Looking for that 60-70c price range for a good chip that feels like a chip, not hard plastic. Thanks!!!

After month and months of hearing the Faux Clay hype I finally gave in and bought some. They arrived today and I am very impressed with their feel and handling. You can even label them if you desire and they go for less than 5 cents each: http://www.discountcasinogear.com/store/product893.html

Faux clays are indeed very good, and quite inexpensive. If you are looking in the .60-.70 range, try some hotstamped TR Kings (.60 each plus $100 for a custom stamp), ASM blank or stamped (denoms/initials only), or try some of the cheaper ceramics available. Nevada Jacks has custom ceramics for .69 each and they are very nice chips in my opinion. TR Kings hotstamped unspotted are the best for clay I think at that price.

I'd definitely go for hot-stamped TR Kings if you can put out the .70/chip. If that doesn't suit your fancy then just label up some faux clays and save the money for custom ASMs.

Should have put this in the original post. I have 3 sets of cheaper chips and the new guys must look cool. Edge spots if clay, faux is just too plain. I am thinking ceramic, but can I get my design on them for about 70c?

if you can spend.70 now....(If I knew then what I know now..I would done what I am telling you) You can spend the 1.00 to 1.25 in a year...take the .70 x how ever many chips you are going to buy...go to the bank and buy a CD...I have seen them as high as 4.75% here in TX and places on the net...then vow to save $50.00 to 100.00 per month for your chips...and in 6-12 months when you cash your CD..take your extra savings and buy the ASM customs you REALLY want....you will live and die a happy man that way....oh the wisdom of hind-sight

There's always pokersourceonline.com" target="_blank">www. pokersourceonline.com.

You can earn points by playing online and then purchase several decent sets (clay NJ or 2 types of ceramics) from www.nevadajacks.com. You just missed the chance to actually get a custom set of ceramics from NJ via www.pokerroom.com promo. Also, you can simply make money via the various cash bonus options at the pokerrooms.

When I cleared the PSO promo at PR, I was also up $74 including the cash bonus part.

I thought this also but now I love the look of solids.

A good in-between in cost(comparing .04 for faux to 1.25 for edge spotted customs) are the new interlocking T mold chips(same mold as the samurai's) that are now available in solid color blanks from Holdempokerchips.com. AND as a bonus, MSPatton is a pleasure to deal with and his guarantee is not just words ......

They are going for .55 each if you buy 500 - so $275 for 500 nice 9g clay chips with an excellent mold -

But I too think the faux for less than a nickel each with labels are a great low cost alternative - I've seen many great looking sets here....

Hot stamped TRKs would get my vote these days.

'must look cool'

Depends on your point of view really. Some people will say that old style plain hot stamps look cool. Others will say that ceramic NJ's with their own face on them look cool. Those people are wrong of course, but its still a valid point.

Horses for courses.
