I purchased the chips in a tin at another location, and an additional package labeled "deluxe poker set" containing 200 chips and a wooden case. I added another divider to the case, and upgraded the catches, and now I have a very nice mahogany lookign case with 300 chips that are VERY good quality. I play tournament poker at a local casino and these chips feel exactly like those I use there. I am not sure of the weight, but I know they feel just like casino chips. No where do they say they are 11.5 grams, nor do they clain to be clay. I believe they are likely 8.5 gram ABS composite chips, but they are leagues ahead of the old fashioned plastic chips we all had as kids, and feel very similar to the bicycle clay chips that you pay $15 for 50 of. For a total outlay of $40.25 (both chip sets, additional sood for new divider, upgraded catches to handle additonal weight, and wood repair kit to cover old screw holes, etc, I have a professional quality set that I am proud to take to my monthly ring games I use as practice for my tourneys. My only wish is that I had a different breakdown... right now I have 125 white, 75 red, 75 blue, 25 green. I wish I had some blacks. The 200 set was 100 white, 50 each red and blue. If only Cardinal sold packs of 25 by color... I'd quickly order 25 more green and 50 blacks. If someone can tell me where to get similar chips (in the suited design) cheaply, it'd be great!
