For Sale Borgata Relabel Customs from Tommy's GB (1 Viewer)

[TheDeezer]

Hi everyone,

Not very happy about having to sell these as @Tommy did an exceptional job creating this concept design - the execution was good and these sound good when shuffled ( more than pleased) but I have been waiting forever for my custom labels to be made and it appears the material is not available and not sure when it will be and not being able to put these in play has been painful -

So I am unloading these to one lucky bidder

Here is the breakdown:

100 1's
600 5's
300 25's
100' 100's
Barrel of 500
Barrel of 1000 (oversize)
Barrel of 5000 (oversize)

The 5's are not opened except for one rack

Racks not for sale - never been used but shuffled a few times

$550 shipping included in CONUS outside US email for price -

Paypal works fine - thanks for your consideration

DM me if you have an interest !

Hi

Ceramic Hybrids

 

[pokerpig]

what is the problem with your labels? I was thinking of getting some of these 43mm blanks from the new interest thread. Is the recess not shallow enough?

May I ask what a ceramic hybrid is??

Many of us have had the same question.
It's just a ceramic chip with a recess for a label.

It's my understanding that they're ceramic. When ceramicmike described them as hybrid, I believe it's because they're a ceramic chip in the style of a Bud Jones chip. Still just a ceramic chip but with a recessed center.

 

[jerrytaro]

sounds like it should really work well for a custom label!!

This design is a tribute to a Bud Jones chip, but ceramic hybrids have nothing to do with Bud Jones.

A normal ceramic has dye-sub printing on the face of a flat chip - there's no recess or shape to the chip.

A ceramic hybrid is made with a recess in a face where you can place a label. This also means you can print the label with high-quality print - definitely higher quality than is possible with dye-sub on ceramic.

So you're using a hybrid of two kinds of printing on two kinds of material, and the effect also ends up better approximating a normal pressed-clay chip. (Normal pressed clay chips are also made of two materials - the edges and spots are visible clay, but the center art is printed on an inlay.)

They are custom Apollon Hybrid chips (dye-sublimation printed ceramics with a center recessed area containing a laminated label), made by Sun-Fly:

If by some chance you split these, I'll take the $500's, $1000's & $5000's.

@TheDeezer I'd also like to know if you can elaborate on what problems you had with getting labels done as I have a lot of blanks to try and purchase labels for myself.

If I had to guess he wanted a true glitter ring and we haven't heard or seen any updates.
