I purchased 25 of the 500,1000,5,000, and 10,000 denomination chips. I had previously bought royal flush chips from another vendor with denominations up to 100. So I was excited to find these chips so we could color up at the end of our tournaments. However, the 1,000 chip and 10,000 chip are very close in color. It is not the pure yellow that you see in this picture and more of a light orange. The one thing that does make a difference that also isn't shown in this picture is the color of the actual 1,000 in the chips I just received is black filled (like the 100) where the 10,000 is like the chip shown.
Also, when I stack the chips, the 500 and 1,000 are the same height for 25 chips and the 5,000 and 10,000 are ABOUT the same height for 25 chips. However, the 5,000 and 10,000 are about a chip higher than the others. This may seem petty, but we often count chips by stacking them next to each other and if the heights aren't consistent, that is a problem. When I put them in the new case I just bought, the stacks of my previously purchase (not from this vendor) chips fill the column where these chips leave room for about 3 chips.
Finally, despite these issues, I wouldn't say that my purchase was a waste. I will probably not use the 10,000 as I think it will be confusing with the 1,000 chips. As for the height difference, we will just have to be careful. The price was pretty good at 25 chips for $2.
