Just ordered a set of Pharaoh's...

I finally made the plunge... a set of 700 Pharaoh's for my home game, which I'm thinking will be a great improvement over my NJ Skulls. I considered the New Yorkers for a while but didn't like the design enough to justify the difference in cost for me. Plus I think the NYers are too nice a chip for regular play with the buffoons I play with!

Despite how widespread the Pharaoh's have become, I still really like the inlay design and the colors versus any of the other Paulson home chips (including the new designs) and although most of you seem to disagree, I really don't mind the mold that much.

Anyway, I can't wait until they arrive... I'll be using them for the first time in my next home game on March 11th!

congrats! Where did you get em from?

I ordered the chips from Apache and some trays from Ivan at straightflush.ca. Both were very friendly and helpful.

sweet tourney set up...

Have fun with them! When I sell off my 800 NJ's, I plan on getting some Pharaoh's!
