The King of Gifs!
The King of Gifs!
Mine were scheduled to be delivered this weekend, but they just showed up! @Pinesol13 even makes the USPS work better!
I’m in LA too…Ya ya we get it. Everyone has chips except me geeeeeeeeeeez.
Note to self: Cancel roses for @Pinesol13
Looks like you got some error chips that they printed upside down! Sweeeeet!Thank you @mattross1313 for the design! Thank you @dmoney for organizing the GB. And thank you @Pinesol13 for the quick and well packaged chips.
Thanks man, I knew it was going to be a good story. And I will definitely read the post about your grandfather.Short story is I love James Bond, and these are inspired by all the Bond villains dummy corporation's that are a front for their evil doings.
Long story is, growing up I have special memories of watching the Connery and Moore 007 movies on TV, with my Dad and Grandfather. Also, I always felt like my two grandfather's represented the James Bond world. My fathers dad, to me, was Ian Fleming (the author of 007 novels). Super cool, lived life to the fullest, life of the party. Always had a story, and a cocktail and unfiltered cigarette in hand. My mothers dad, to me, was James Bond. A man's man. Served in World War II, a hero. There's a great story about him here:

Anyways, last year my brother got me this 007 gift set, part of it included these Coasters with the villain corporation logos on them

One day I was looking at these, and my brain clicked and I saw them for what they truly were.....poker chip inlays.
That began the design process, and here we are today!
On another note, I'm treating myself to a nice Manhattan tonight!

Sadly, mine arrived but are mostly incorrect—all of my high denoms are Tournament Aria instead of Cash Aria.
775 wrong out of 1300
Currently in discussion with the powers that be (@dmoney , @Pinesol13 ) to try and sort out what went wrong and potential solutions.
Anyone out there get cash Aria’s instead of tournament and looking to swap?
Nice! Glad you could get it worked out.But for me it was only 25chips, looking like I will be able to make a swap with a helpful PCF'er...
I wish you wouldn’t have posted this picture. Killer!!! I can’t wait for mine to get here.
It's not a black dollar but I highly approve of this set.I’m VERY pleased! Thanks again @dmoney amd @Pinesol13
