| | | Alternative for the elusive Yellow and Grey Faux Clays
With the prices of Grey and Orange Fauxs recently hitting 30-50cent, I can't imagine what 100 yellows would sell for.
So, if you can't get someone to let go of their stock, do these become an option??     http://www.thepokerchipcompany.com/C...style_1006.htm
Pokerchipcompany 1006 on the left next to the Faux.
They are 45 cents each, or 55 cents w/ a hot-stamp. They are not textured like the Fauxs, but the dice design is a good match. Also, if you use them for higher denoms, the progression from solids to edgespots makes sense too.
I have the 3 crown style, which is the same material - different mold, and the feel is great on these chips. Again, they don't feel like the fauxs, but they stack and shuffle great.

I have to admit that, with the shortages of the Yeallows, Grays and Oranges, I have had to stoop the lowest of lows and use NexGens for my upper denoms until I can find a suitable replacement (or the ever elusive Faux's).
I do have to keep them separated, otherwise I'd have some marked up Faux's and nothing but slugs and orange and yellow dust!!!!!!!

The only chips I have seen (and once had) like that are 11.5 plastic slug chips.
Arethese made of some other 'substance' ?

If it's going to cost in this price range anyway (assuming you can even find someone to sell them), these definately feel/stack better that Nexgens.
Now that I have about 400 more Fauxs being delivered tomorrow for my tourney set, I know I'm going to be looking for Yellows eventually.
Maybe not now, but at some point, I'm sure I'll want the yellow to use as a 1K chip, and if they are no where to be found, I may have to break down and resort to these as an alternative.
At that time, I will accept whatever Penance is required. |

How dare you compare faux clays to dice or even think of letting them touch each other.   |
