No home poker room or night out playing with friends would be complete with a decent poker chip set. And those with a big budget may be looking for a high-quality poker chip set that’s more on the expensive side.

Chip collectors will also find a few out of reach for most players’ bankrolls. But it’s still fun to check out, nonetheless.
Here’s a look at some expensive poker chip sets, from artistic collector’s items to high-end usable sets that will undoubtedly impress.
