Cards Mold/"Tina" Alibaba Ceramics Master Consolidated Info Thread (9 Viewers)

A controversial question perhaps.

But does anyone think that we’ll ever see a tiger palace tribute set on cards mold ceramics?

I know the Tiger palace were sort of created here by some of the forum members so perhaps they may not appreciate it, but it’s two totally different price points / products - maybe they’d be flattered .. I know I’d love to get my hands on a cards mold set until I can afford the real thing..

@JeepologyOffroad has requested it not be made. I doubt anyone would do one, publicly at least.

Ah that’s a little disappointing for those who can’t get the real thing; but also, fair enough! I wouldn’t push back on it because I want to buy a set off the guy some day

ABSOLUTELY NOT. At least not one endorsed by the owners of those designs and done in the daylight.

It's pointless. You can't duplicate those colors on a ceramic chip. We've all tried to do blaze orange and Arc Yellow and all the CPC Dayglow colors to varying degrees of success, or mostly failure. If you want, pick 6 or 7 of your favorite of the Tiger chips and "attempt" to duplicate the colors and spots, then put your personal design in the inlay area. But they still won't be Tigers (or lions... or cheetahs...) or even look a lot like them. Not even close. So why bother?

Yeah fair enough.. the whites / yellows / pinks and blacks are alright .. might take inspiration and add my own logo to the Center of my favourites ..

Hyenas would be my choice for a copy name.

People with no power helping to advise people who don’t care about how to follow rules that don’t exist with a vendor that doesn’t care about feelings.

If anyone does a bulk order of some cool THC stuff tag or PM me.

I think the “Twigs and Barries” mold would be gangbusters though.

Hello, new member here trying to purchase new WSOP card mold set. I've been in contact with some merchanidsers from Alibaba, and they gave me these chip options to work with. Little pricey I initially thought. I've heard so much about Tina, but can't find where to get in touch. Have you purchased WSOP chips from Tina? If so, satisfied? Can you help point me in the direction to get in contact with WSOP chips? Thank you

I purchased all my Rio tribute card molds as part of group buys ran by @Irapley. If you keep an eye on the group buy threads I’m sure someone will be running a group buy again soon and you can place an order that way.

 

[thynob68]

I am looking for a cards mold group buy to get into. Have a custom design which was made a few years ago by Tina, but need some additional chips of certain denominations plus designed a new color chip for 10k. Anyone know of one going on where I can get these reordered?

 

[Rooster410]

I just got finished creating a set for @Rooster410 for the cards mold using the Bellagio theme.
He wanted a faux hotstamp as a frac, looking forward to seeing the final result.

Thanks @Rooster410 , this was fun!

Can’t wait to get my hands on these!!! Thanks again to @Colquhoun for the design and @justincarothers for the GB!

 

[chutracheese]

Wow! That's an incredible hot stamp similation. Very well done!

Based on the general reception when this mold was announced, I doubt people will post their pictures.

I don't know if this is the correct thread for this question. I apologize if it is not.
How long does air express take to get to the USA for custom orders via Tina?

Depends on customs 2 weeks - 3 months.

Hoping for the 2 weeks.....

Yep, they look eerily similar to the chips used in the Maryland Live counterfeit scheme:

Idc if its an unpopular opinion, a replica ceramic THC mold would be epic. (especially w the Aria's design)

Tina makes a ceramic THC replica mold now.

FYP

Still kind of new here, but think this is the right thread for this question. Has anyone ever ordered 50mm chips from Tina? Did you get textured or non-textured?

Absolutely not flattered, laughable. Nope, expressly forbidden by creator and it would be a big insult.

I've got a few barrels of textured 50mm chips. Warning there is a much higher chance of spinners at that size, tough to keep it flat.

Good to know, thanks. Can I ask why you ordered textured? I keep thinking I'm wanting to order non-textured for a smoother feel and was thinking they would maybe be a little less "slippery"? But maybe not, idk

Smoother feel is much more slippery. Textured is far superior for me. Stacks better, feels better, barely looks different. Smooth no mold, a pain to stack even at 43mm.

I guess it’s down to how you’d interpret being “knocked off”.. some say imitation is the highest form of flattery .. After-all, this is a “TINA ceramic” thread where people buy knock off OR homage chips - and here you are.
If I’m not mistaken, the design of every chip in the TP set is inspired by existing chips from other sets. If chips are popular enough they’ll be knocked off here in this thread.

That being said, I respect the PCF community and wouldn’t want to ruffle the feathers of other members like yourself so I won’t personally be knocking them off - although, I’m sure that others will..

From my point of view - the massive difference in quality and price point means that any knock off ceramic chips don’t pose a threat to the real thing ..

Here I am- in a thread talking about ceramic chips from Tina. Mine are fully custom and still from her. Not sure if you got your feelings hurt that I said the creator wouldnt be flattered, he expressly said he wouldnt like that. Maybe you know him better than himself, real Dr. Phil moment lol.

I dont care if you ruffle feathers, I was answering your question. Im fine with all the chips being made, I dont have any qualms about the casino chips as long as theyre not counterfeiting. You say that if they're popular enough they'll be knocked off here in this thread? Good luck, we'll see. But again: @JeepologyOffroad being flattered that someone would create a Tina copy is laughable. This isnt about being a threat, this is about respecting the wishes of a community member.

Good, thanks for your point of view and ellipses.
