LOL, nice design. Pretty cool indeed, is this going to be a chipco chip or something else?

Must be a Chipco design--the white rim is already there.

I think it kicks ass honestly. Where are the other chips in the series?

I like it a lot, but I dont think its going to be everyone's favorite. Its more of an aqcuired taste. Let us know what the rest of the series looks like.

It's kind of like the NJ Skull design I guess. Either love it or hate it. Kind of ironic considering he doesn't like my NJ Skulls. Cool!

Hello everybody,
I am looking for quite some time for my first chip set (it is quite an important step in a man's live... it's like your first bike  ).
I have been looking around the Internet, reading reviews, posts on this great forum and comparing prices and I have reduced my choices knowing that:
1. I cannot afford (I wish I could, but I can't) the high quality chips (+/- $1 per chip) like the compression molded clays and the ceramics.
2. I don't want chips with a metal insert (because of the annoying "clinking" sound they make when shuffled)
3. I want my chips to have edge spots
I have recently ordered a sample of the 8g 6 stripes (aka soprano)chips. I have been playing with them for 2 or 3 weeks and I like them very much (of course I have no comparison scale). What would you think of those?
I also visited a couple of custom labels websites. I initially thought that it was only possible to stick custom labels on chips with recessed center (like Nexgen chips) but apparently it is possible on non recessed chips as well.
What is your opinion about this?
Won't the labels make the chips thicker so they won't fit in racks?
Won't the labels on each face rub constantly with labels of other chips, thus making them harder to stack, to shuffle and damaging the labels?
To conclude, here my heads-up for my set:
1. 6 stripe chips (with or without custom labels?)
2. Nexgen with custom labels (although I said no metal insert, I read somewhere that the Nexgen chips are made of a composite resin which manages to deaden the clinking sound of the insert. Is it still annoying?)
What do you think about
1. the general handling of both chips (sound, feel)
2. Look (colored edge spots vs. white)
3. To put custom labels or not to put custom labels, that is the question?
If you are still reading this, you are a true hero and I salute your courage.
Thank again for all your help.
Ran
