Might have to get some coasters/mousepads just to have 'em.... Is that lame or what? (Don't answer, please, especially you darling wifey.)

In your title you ask, "Cool or Stupid?" How about both!

I vote stupid... if I wanted to look at obsolete chips, I'd buy obsolete chips.

I like em, I just wish they were the old school chips. Maybe just colored chips black green etc, with an edge spot, maybe a denom??

How about making them look like "dice" chips!!

Here are the coasters. They are printed on mousepad material, and are rather low-resolution scans. They are adequate for what they are, and will be very functional. I probably wouldn't use them much in anything more formal than a poker game.

They were $15.50 (buy it now) with $2.50 shipping. I bought them sunday, and received them wednesday, so the service is good.

I am not unhappy with them, in fact, inexpensive coasters with a poker theme are a good find. On the other hand, I would be happier (and willing to pay more) for a hi-res photo of nice chips on a cork backing.L

Hey, I just returned from unwrapping my coasters only to find this post!
I agree with everything jldecarlo said. I think they'll be just fine for poker games.
