CARDS MOLD SHOWCASE! (6 Viewers)

[fishsaybloop]

Thinking of building up a custom set but based in Singapore, think it’s better to go direct?

Haha not sure if there’s GB appetite

 

[PlayerADK]

Super happy with these - especially for the price.

Very few qualms about the set. I would like to change the 25cent chip slightly, but still very happy with it.

A few alignments are slightly off, but it's rare.

And I noticed that at least this one chip (probably more) has a faded color. Probably something funky during manufacturing. Not a big deal, still amazing chips! (faded/blurry on the right/top)

Man! I REALLY want some of those CASA MANGO chips. They look really really good...Anyone know where I can get some of these?

My Sloth chips have a similar issue on the rolling edge with a section about .25cm is slightly lighter in shade than the base colour. this is only noticeable on close inspection and most noticeable on my black $100's. I can see the same shade blur on your rolling edge as well. it doesnt bother me though, it's a minor imperfection that can be dismissed as a security feature. All of the edge spots as far as I cant tell are otherwise spot on. These chips are a steal of a deal for what you get.

edited to add more pics

2 came with hats off, crazy glue will be attempted for some zombie $1's to fill the racks back up to an even #... here is what's inside a cards mold chip

Nice looking set! The reversed denominations on the top of the chip is a cool feature! Are these from the Tina GB or the Anita GB?

Anita GB. Great set I love it.

Here's the Aquarium set. I love the inlay. Although some detail didn't make it like the bubbles.

The yellow ended up greener than I thought it would but it's not awful.

I do have regrets. I wish I went either 4D18 / D618 edge spot for the $5 and $25 or 4D14.

I wouldn't change anything with the tournament set. Got the cash set into play a few weeks ago and I have to admit, I did bet 25c chips thinking they were $1 at least twice. I still like'em.

What do you mean by "some details didn't make it?" My inlay was super detailed, and while everything is not crystal clear, it's all there.

Can you post your art, then a couple of chip close-ups? Thanks!

Anybody have any sunset beach, Aurora Star or Aria cash set pron? Really interested to see what these sets would look like on cards mold.

Ooops, sorry, that's tournament.

Here's a photo of some smaller denoms. I'm considering doing a new GB with both cash and tournament Aria chips.

Does anyone know if the aria casino have cash frac chips IRL? Just curious

I don't think so.

Here is another photo of actual Aria chips. My plan, If I decide to go through with it, is to make the $3 chip into a quarter, and the $10 chip into a nickel.

The cash chips $1 through $20 will retain the dollar signs, with cents signs on the fracs. The $100 chip will look like this one with the almond colored edge spot. The T100 will look like the one above, except it will change out the almond spot for a bright white spot to slightly differentiate the two.

Sounds good, definitely interested depending on cost.

These will be similar in cost to the past cards mold group buys. Current pricing is 28 cents per chip and 4 cents shipping from China, plus actual shipping costs to the buyer. I'll probably need to add in some designer fees, and a wire transfer fee, but those will be incidental. Probably a penny a chip for the designer fee. And I think the last wire transfer fee I paid Sean was less than $1.

I didn’t know that someone had already created and ordered the lower denoms on the Card mold. Thanks for posting.

I think I would have to have $ on the chips without the “no cash value.”

Wire transfer cost $50 last time. The CC transaction fee is where we took it on the nose.

It is still a mystery who did this. Tina sent that photo to Sean, but he has no idea who ordered the chips. I plan to reach out to @Johnny5 who was the designer of the tournament set. I assume he did these lower denoms too, but I don't know for sure. Assuming I go through with the GB, I plan to make a few tweaks. I want the $1 to use the correct shape of the edge spots, and the correct colors.

Thanks Sean. So bottom line, if we assume about 35 cents a chip total, we'll be somewhere in that ballpark.

While I love the 100 and up Aria chips, not sure I’m a fan of the low denoms as much...the spot patterns, the colors, the card mold colors, etc. I would definitely have to redesign some things.

@JK_Poker just noticed you're in AUS. No idea what shipping will be to you, but I'll work with you. I know last GB the Canadians got raked over the coals and ended up paying about 45+ cents a chip. So maybe assume 50 cents??? IDK.

Completely agree. Each one of those additional chips have some issues. More I think about it, I'd bet J5 didn't do the design on those. Either that or his customer wanted those odd changes. The green on the T25 is all wrong too, as is one of the edge spots on the T5.

I would expect direct shipping from China to Australia to be quite a lot cheaper than going via the US. Just FYI, when the first Sean GB was in the works, I contacted Tina directly through Alibaba, and got GB pricing for the chips + cost of direct shipping to me in Norway. The shipping cost will obviously be on the high side for a smaller order like that, but likely cheaper than going via the US.

Much better than the originals, which suffer from giant inlays

Awesome!! I thought that @JeepologyOffroad bastard was good just for chatting and sharing.
Maybe it's time I got him to do some work

Go ahead and tweak whatever needs to be fixed, and keep us updated. I had posted in one of these threads that I would be in for the next group buy, but I was unsure about a design. Now I think a micro cash set of these Arias would be my choice - so I will definitely need the nickels and quarters, I do like your ideas for those. So if this GB gets going, count me in for an order.

I'm in also for an Aria's cash and tournament set via group buy. As noted above, I would need some tweaks to the Cash set. I think I am ok with the tournament denoms as it for the T100 through T25,000. That will be an easy order.

I would need to work with a designer for tweaks to the cash set. I like the looks of the real cash set...but if we are going group buy, I'd like to tweak them. Maybe if we work with one designer for all it would be better? Cash set

1. Need a quarter (not sure what I want there, would be interesting to see another's design) Maybe gray, pink or orange.
2. I think I would like the $5 cranberry...like the T25,000
3. The $1 blue is good but I wouldn't mind all yellow spots.
4. A brighter green $25
5. Definitely cash denominations added instead of tourney.

The more I think about it, its seems like I want mostly custom cash colors unless the final chips just Wow me.

Sounds like I need to get to work on this. I'm a tax accountant, and my client has a HUGE May 17th deadline, so I need another week or so before I will have time to work on this. But after that I will reach out the the original designer and start a new thread to explore getting a group buy going.

@codeman00 did you see any of my other posts where I outlined my ideas for the cash chips? If it's not in here, then it might be in another thread. I would like to stay pretty true to the casino chips, with the fracs looking similar to unneeded $3 and $10 Aria chips.
