What kind of chips are these?

Can anyone identify these chips? I'm guessing they're just generic slugs. Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Eric

Those are basically the same thing as the legendary Phil Hellmuth chips. Except that the high denom chips in the Phil set have his mug on them. The spots are slightly different, but the 'Tournament Pro Series' is the same. They're slugged and slippery.

Damn you guys are quick here!
If they resemble anything Hellmuth I'd better sell them!

I've actually seen a chip on ebay that looked just like mine but with the Hellmuth spot pattern.
Any idea what brand they are? I could use a few more of some of the denoms.

Here are some other shots of them - purportedly a whopping 14 gram chip too.

Google is your friend. Just search on 'tournament pro series' and you'll get tons of hits with links to purchase these outstanding chips.

Thanks for the help Jamby. I know they're not great chips but I can't justify spending very much on chips as I rarely use them.

I understand completely. Good luck filling out your set.

If you are looking for some good chips on the cheap, you should have a look at the Sopranos (six stripe, heavier weight). They look good, sound nice (no metal insert, stack well, and are quite inexpensive.

Captn_All_In has quite the stash of these babies and would be more than happy to post some pics and comments if we ask him nicely.

edit: I just noticed you have a nice set of Faux Clays for sale. Why on earth would you sell your Fauxs in favor of something like that!?! It boggles the mind.
