what would you go with | Whoo, for that money, your pickings are slim. T-Molds from MSPAtton (holdempokerchips.com) might be your best value option. No customizing, but an excellent chip to start with.

You can easily get 300 custom ASMs for under $400. They get my vote.
Solids with a custom inlay would be $0.90/chip
Solids with single color edgespots would be $1.25/chip
Sandy is an absolute dream to work with, as are the rest of the folks at ASM.

I think you have a couple of Pauslon options. For around $400, you can pick up a new 400 set of Paulson hotstamp at apachepokerchips.com. Also discount casino gear is having a sale on Paulson NPS, T&HC, and Denom Pharos for less than $1/each Discount Poker Chips, Clay Casino Chips – Discount Casino Gear So you should be able to get a 400 piece set for the amount of money you have to spend. |

Definitely the best price on casino Paulsons you'll ever find. I've got a 600-chip set (with 40 more $5s, 40 more $25s, and 20 x $100s) all cleaned up that I could be willing to part with, but my cleaning fees are out of your price range (took me 15 hours to clean, 2 hours to oil... not kidding/exaggerating; wish I was). |

Oh, I just remembered, although the quality may not be quite as high as Paulsons, here's another decent clay chip on a tight budget: http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/pokerc...olid-wall.html
(that sale price may no longer be valid; you'll have to send a PM to Pokerchiplounge and/or palmimports to get a current price quote).
I've got a multi-table tourney set of 1200 (custom-labeled) and everybody loves them. And you could probably get a 1000 chip set (custom labeled) and shipped within your budget. Again, they're not Paulsons or ASMs, but a huge upgrade over any plastic/slugged chip at a very affordable price. Depends what you're looking for... |

I'm finishing up a set of Proteges (from sidepot) for Christmas. I think you can get about 300 chips for $380ish from sidepot with a discount code for $20 off...
You could also get Le Paulson Noir from sidepot 300 for $400... I've heard good things... |

Clearly, I am too selective in my clay chips! Looks like lots of good deals abound.
