10 years back... A very very ASM special! (1 Viewer)

[hippieartworks]

Hello fellas...

I wish all a happy year 2019! It's a special year for me. 10 years back my sunny son, named Darian, was born! And, of course, the idea of a custom chipset. "THE DARIAN PLAZA - Hotel & CASINO"

My most fav casino design was from the Ambassador Plaza. Clean and classy. Just a few changes and the main design was ready...

I already owned a mixed Paulson Tournament set and a little smaller set from Chipco. But no set for cash games. I called Jim from ASM and after a few color changes the order was placed. Blank solids ready for hotstamping. Additional to the chips i got a few bricks. Here is the first result...

The design of the bills is a cooperation of Fabian Kaufman (owner of poker-stacks.eu) and me. Please note the serial number on the 2c bill (1DMM06109)! The first Number (1) is for my first kid, The letters is for Darian my son, M for my wife Michaela and M for me (Mark). The last numbers is the date of birth of my son 6. jan 2009. On the 10c bill the serial number are my initials and date of birth!

The hotstamping is made by my buddy Fabian known as Meatboy!

The ceramic db is made by PGI!

In 2013 i changed the set a little bit. I sold most of the bricks, changed the banderole layout and enlarged the the set with a blue $2 chip...

Cutcards and acrylic button lasered by me

Here is a little special... Uncut sheets of the bills!

One day, i can't remember the date, Meatboy asked me to try something out. Some of you know my labels printed on glitter foil with metallic colors. He asked me to print some testlabels with metallic colors on glitterfoil and send to Jim at ASM. Jim got 100 labels and tried to press them into a chip. Unfortunataly the labels are cracked under the heat and pressure. A fail... But not a 100% fail. 2 chips are perfect! A red one and a black! Ladies and gents...Here is one of them. One of only 2 existing chips with glitter labels ASM ever made!!! My black one. Fabian own the other red one!

The label is printed with black and metallic silver on red glitter foil.

I hope you enjoy the pics and little background informations. For the next 10 years...

Cheers!

Nice to hear from you after all this time I have a Darian Plaza 100 labeled chip that simulates a hot stamp by being printed on clear media.

Wow, those are really cool, especially the glitter chips! Sometimes I'm surprised we don't see more creative chip designs out of this forum, maybe 2019 will be the year.

Hi Mark, hope you are doing well

Great to have you back at the forum...I'm still convincing Fabian to come back

 

[ADS Aviator]

Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Any pics of these on chips? Super interested what they’d look like, I’ve thought about something like these for a while.

How do you do this?

 

[hippieartworks]

Thanks all!

Sure here are some pics...

@zo121179 these labels are made with a thermal transfer printer. It's totally different to ink system printers. It's a little bit like hotstamping.

 

[FDLmold]

I have added pictures of your set to the folder on my computer called "sets that are baller". Nice!

Thanks, much apreciated!

I still have the sample labels that @hippieartworks sent me when I was working with him on my first cash set. To know that they were made 5-10 years ago and were way ahead of their time just simply blows my mind. Hopefully they can make a return!

 

[v1pe]

Very cool set! I love those money bundles, did you make them yourself?

 

[zo121179]

Agreed, going to do the bundles for my micro stakes game.

 

[hippieartworks]

Thanks! The money bundles (bricks) are made by poker-stacks.eu. I just made the design work. The banderoles are custom! As i know he is out of buisness, unfortunataly. But it might be possible some of the bricks are still available. Let me know the value of one brick and amount you need and i will ask him!

Banderoles

@meatboy had some cash bricks done for the Suicide Queen's too - I had the banderoles reprinted to the $100 denomination

 

[Sparty]

Those cash bricks look awesome...where can one find some like that nowadays?

 

[LinkyBabe]

Expensive though...

Yikes. Cheaper to get custom plaques?

 

[Thomacetti]

Yeah, but quality on these is insane.... (and I don't think you can order custom plaques for $4 piece)
I have about 20 $10 en 5 $20 bricks for my micro sets

I could use some new banderoles...could you help me with that Mark (@hippieartworks)

 

[Thomacetti]

Look what I found

But...

if some of these bricks are available, i might be interested in them. (in need of micro cash game). The smallest Cashbricks are 25 stacks of $1 bills - i see you have some worth 10cents and 20 cents.

 

[Thomacetti]

Mines are 40c bills (x25 = $10 x50=$20)

ideal for micro cash

 

[Barberp]

These are awesome. I love the banded paper money. Really makes it feel like high stakes. The wish app has realistic hundred dollar bill stacks for super cheap gives a good feel as well.
