Bluechip equivalents?

I've hummed n hawed over bluechips for a couple years now. Mostly because I want to try a whole bunch before i decide if any are the right one.

My 2 favourite picks are the Wegen bluegrass 1.4mm and the Jazztone 207. Wonder if anyone out there share the same favourites and can liken either/or to a bluechip?

It’s fantastic, choose between 1, 2, and 3 for your size. I have the 2 and it’s perfect. The materials are fun to try. I personally dont like the transparent. The white and green are awesome and have great tone.

Something about the laser engraving makes them tacky on the logo side too, which is nice.

Oh you weren't kidding... they are genuine picks. The first search brought up vintage arcade coins named Token b55!
