CARDS MOLD SHOWCASE! (11 Viewers)

[Himewad]

You nailed these, James! I’m loving the $1 and $100.

When do they see felt?

Good question. I have always hosted tournaments, but I know a few guys who would play cash with me. Need to ease into it, I think.

Wow, all of these sets are amazing. I've been out of the chip game for a while, and it's interesting to see that someone came up with the idea to put a mold on a ceramic chip. If you someone didn't mention that these were ceramics, I would have assumed these were clays based on the photos.

These are ceramics from a commercial maker via Alibaba. They are on the same mold as the Sunfly chips (I believe polyclays) and personally I believe they are the same chips just printed by a different maker.

They are different blanks.

The ones produced by @SUN-FLY Poker Chips do have top noch edge alignement and on my 2 PolyClay sets I don't have one single spinner.

With the Alibaba seller, edge alignement was far from perfect and I had spinners.

Another difference is that SF ones have more rounded and glossy edge where the Alibaba ones are more square and matte.

Cheers. I forgot that you actually have done the real comparison. Although the edge alignment is an issue of poor execution, not specific to to the blank chips.

Indeed it's not related to the types of blanks. You're right.

Alibaba ones are very nice for the price tag. But from my end I prefered to pay a little bit more and have a set without flaws.

And for some, matte and square edge are a plus. So an argument in favour of Alibaba. Myself I preferred the more rounded ones from SF. It's really a matter of preference in the end.

Definitely. I have no doubt the Sunflys are better. I would point anyone in the direction of SunFly for better quality. These are just under my "impulse price" threshold. Otherwise I wouldn't have made a ceramic set most likely.

I am a poor boy from a poor family, so it is my "poor boy price" for me.

Just curious - what is the price difference? Are we talking 2-3x?

I believe that is correct. The Alibaba cards mold chips in the initial group buy were about .28each landed in the US, although they have since gone up and are about .31each. Another group just used a different supplier and I believe got the price back down again to around .28each landed.

 

[Himewad]

31 cents per chip!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Post of the day! Well done James.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

SF ones are 48c / each. With shipping and taxes it's +/- 70-75c delivered in Europe.
Alibaba ones were +/- 40c delivered with taxes in Europe.
So for me in Europe it's more or less a 2 to 1 price difference.

In fact for me too. The initial Alibaba set was an impulse buy just because it was cheap.

But I really liked how my design turned, and then wanted to fix few flaws that tilted me little bit.

For anyone posting Cards mold Pr0n, PLEASE USE THIS THREAD.

We were trying to let the other one die off, but it was brought back to life today.

 

[Bluegrass Poker]

My chipes have arrived!!! Thanks Gecko
These are awesome.

A couple issues caused by me. My 100 edge spot shouldn’t have purple. It blends in with the black. I should have went brighter. And potential dirty stack issues with the 100 and 500 if lighting isn’t good.

That is a batch 5 fix kind of problem.

The colors and spots look so great.

If I may, I'd just made the text "vineyard" sligthly more spaced like on the fracs or maybe with a white outline.

But overall, it's a very very nice set. Congratulations !

@timinater has the design and will likely be offering it in his design shop. I think it was the way the fine lines came through on the printing as the design proofs have more separation

Finally, got mine!
