I was just browsing the HPC site (typical thing to do on a Friday) and noticed "The Speakeasy" line (if you're not familiar, they're quartered BCC chips on the T-mold) read "Now Instock". If you don't believe me, check out the link:

I didn't know if I've just been out of the loop or what (a quick search for Speakeasy returned too many hits due to the CT member by that name). Anyway, I was just curious if anybody's got a sample or playable set yet, and if so, could post some pics. Not that I'm in the market... just curious.

If you still don't know what I'm talkin' about, here are the official mock-up images from HoldemPokerChips.com:

One of our members picked up a playable set and posted pics. I'm sure they will chime in. Not sure about anyone with samples.

December 26? Where have I been?

I was feeling okay about my chip collection until MSPatton went and commissioned a bunch of sweet-looking quartered chips. Now I am afraid I might be catching the Samurai bug. THANKS A LOT, MICHAEL!

Except $5's and $25's are currently out of stock on the Samurai's.

The plan is to get 2 racks each of blue ($1) and NCV to use for either .25/.25 or 1/2 ring games, where the NCV is either .25 or 5.

I also like the black and purple Samurai, but don't really need any more tournament chips and would never use $100 or $500 in a cash game. The NCV could be used as 25 or 1000 with those two chips for tourneys.

But the .25 Samurai is the prettiest chip in the set!! Seems a shame to use the ND (as pretty as it is) in place of .25...

I like all of the chips in the set. But I can't be buying clay chips like they're faux! I need to improve at cards, or get a higher-paying job to do that.

I figured having a $1 and an NCV - aside from those being two of my favorite - would allow flexibility for single-table side games.

I order the denoms, from my most favorite to least, as follows:

1st tier - blue, black, purple, quartered
2nd tier - gray, yellow, darker gray
3rd tier - green, red

I didn't mean to turn this into a Samurai thread!

I had a sample set of these and BC finally got the inlays right. They're nice chips.

I have a Sample Set of the Speakeasys - very cool chips!
