It's hardly a clay chip is it??? I've just ordered some National Poker Series chips & I ain't getting plaques...Why didn't they just release some bigger chip denoms. I dunno maybe it's me, but they look kinda clumsy and old school European chips. Anyway I'm not ordering thousands of NPS's for tourneys. If I did I'd use them replicas from epoker deals. |

And was it really necessary to start a whole thread, when JM has already answered your almost exact same post here: http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/585497-post13.html
Oh, and for the record: PLAQUES RULE!!!
'specially HPC customs!

Plaques are great! Especially a la matsui! Adds a nice flavor near the end of a tourney, when short handed, when they are brought in to color up the lower denoms! Here is my set with plaques:  |

Plaques suck.
OK. Not quite my opinion, but I'd much rather have high denom chips than plaques.

I am not really a big fan of plaques....why should i?!?
You even can´t shuffle them 
but if they would be less expensive, i would get some, too.
But i think paying at least 10 or 14 bucks for one plaque is a lot. |

Actually they shuffle VERY easily! Easier than some chips. The ceramic ones from HPC are my favorite to shuffle. Quote:

. | You sir, are incorrect. I actually have the plaque shuffle down quite well, I can do a stack of about 16 right now. I actually like to shuffle plaques more than chips now.
And to the op, I was the same way until i actually ordered 10 formal ones, and now I think they rock. Just my two cents.. |
