Title: Poker Chips Post by: Pokerron on November 09, 2005, 01:35:37 PM I currently have a load of the pretty much standard 11.5g chips (the ones with the suits around the top) and am thinking about upgrading. I am looking for high quality proper casino grade/feel chips with numbers on, or even better, a company who provide these chips and let you personalise them.
Any ideas? Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: Bongo on November 09, 2005, 01:40:26 PM http://www.thesportshq.com/Products.asp?CategoryID=84
They have some quite nice looking chips at a cheap price. As for custom, this place looks good: http://www.pokerchips.com They made the chips for rounders. I've wanted some from there for ages, but never bitten the bullet! Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: AdamM on November 09, 2005, 01:45:14 PM ever looked into shipping from US sites
ASTRONOMICAL combininc chip shopping with a Vegas trip might be worth doing. many companies do free delivery to Vegas hotels I believe. Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: Pokerron on November 09, 2005, 01:52:36 PM Cheers Bongo - The sport HQ ones are very similar to the chips i have. I would love to order form the states but the problem is shipping costs as Adam said. There must be someone in the UK that offers this ???
Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: Bongo on November 09, 2005, 01:57:08 PM If there is i'd love to know about them!
The sportshq do the "prettier" chips as well, don't think i've seen many other choices in the UK. Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: matt674 on November 09, 2005, 02:00:50 PM Have to admit i bought a WSOP chip set when i was over there in July - the difference in standards and price are unbelievable to some of the things being offered in some shops. I would warn people to look into the tax side when having goods shipped over from the US, it can get a bit heavy. I had a hockey shirt shipped over recently as none of the shops over here sell coyote replica shirts - the shirt and shipping were reletively cheap compared to the prices over here but then i was charged an extra £40 in tax (approx 30-35% of the price i paid) just to bring it in through customs.
Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: Pokerron on November 09, 2005, 02:03:30 PM Just seen the 'prettier ones', not bad at those prices, pity they only go up to $100.
Just seen what Argos are trying to pass of as WSOP Chips - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2701314.htm :D Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: The Truth on November 09, 2005, 02:04:48 PM If you are happy to spend the cash these are THE CANINES TESTICLES

Having said that I think I can only afford 10 so I'll need to get them in 5k format so everyone gets a chip each! Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: The Truth on November 09, 2005, 02:14:36 PM these are fantastic chips http://poker.marlowcasinochips.com/ukclassic.htm
or for a slice of Vegas history that never happened http://poker.marlowcasinochips.com/kingscrown.htm Title: Re: Poker Chips Post by: Graham C on November 09, 2005, 03:57:36 PM they are nice but at £350+ per set, they can stay with Marlow Casinos!
