I got my 1,000 piece set yesterday and have to say that I really like these chips. The graphics do seem clearer than NJ skulls, but they're still blurrier than Chipcos, no doubt due to the textured surface (which I really like).
However, for the 1940's-50's nigthclub theme, the slight blurriness works - it makes the chips look smoky and sophisticated. I didn't know how the edgespot colors would turn out on the actual chips, since I only saw the mockups when I ordered them, but they turned out great. The edgespot colors don't jump out like others that I've seen, but then that's what I'm really liking about them. They blend in and make the chips look very hip and cool.
