Well since you're a poolhall junkie, I'm sure you can hustle up a game or two and get enough money for a custom set.

As much as I wouldn't advise a credit card for custom chips, there is a note I'd like to place on this... Have your customs made, then with said custom chips, take all of your friends money to pay for them. Doesn't get any better than that. |

Welcome to CT. I would go with faux clay with custom labels. The cheapest route to a custom set and fauxs are the best chip for cheap. Keep lurking and you'll be able to snag a set around here, then after that there are lots of talented designers on CT that will help with the labels. Chip collecting is like a crackcokemethnicotineheroin addiction. You'll love it!  |

Same with ASMs from pokerchips.com. Half due when ordering and half due when they are shipped.
Welcome to CT. I sure wish that I had gone customs first. I applaud your decision. Quote:

Haha....thanks for all the advice! Even though BCC and ASM take half first, it's still gonna be a lot of money. Anyone know the average cost for a set of 600 - 650 chips including art fees? Do you have to pay art fees even though you can create your own inlays? |

ASM doesnt charge art fees but BCC does ($150 per design and each denom counts as a different design)
Dont know about BCC, but the cost for a set of 600-650 from ASM depends on if you want solid chips, single color edgespots or mulitcolored edgespots.
you can check pricing at pokerchips.com |
