Classic Poker Chips - Last Call Mockups (7 Viewers)

[CallingStation614]

One of my favorite tournament sets looks-wise:

And a possible tribute set, with a very quick skteched inlay. Would change the name, though:

So many ideas

Edit: Anyone with experience regarding Plain CPC chips? How do they feel and stack/shuffle compared to the molded chips?

Already got the quote.
Will order in the coming days.

I'll reuse my stamp on both faces.

Waiting for David's PayPal invoice. :-D

Just put in my order to expand my tournament set. Do I need 1,000 chips? No, but I can dream I'll host a 3TT someday.

Now that I'm up to 3 1,000 chip sets (cash/limit/tournament) maybe I need to get myself banned from this forum...

You should consider a T25K chip if you dream about 3TT. ;-)

Great and classy design btw !

T25ks are plaques. Have some now, but I'll probably look to redesign them to something I'm happier with. I think the semi translucent/holographic ones just have more pop to them, but the design was easier and the ordering process from BRPro was so straightforward that's where I ended up.

Nice to have a plaque as T25K !

I've ordered some of these plaques at MSN and indeed, they are great ! I also use in as T25K !

I also had ceramic ones (with my Nevada Jack set) and they were nice too. Just a bit too heavier to my taste.

Cash game set 5c/25c/1/5 with some 25s and 100s just to say I made them. Other than the 100 I think I'm done. Need to find an inlay artist in the next few weeks.

I know you said you werent making the 25s and 100s but dark green and black should not be made as base colors for adjacent chips. They’re way too close in color.

It's a good call to make higher denomination chips. Your set will last a lifetime and it's a good idea to anticipate inflation since you might not be able to add on later.

Yeah, $5 today should be around $20 40 years from now. I don't normally play with $25s.. but there's a reason I ordered 250 of them, ha.

To that point, IMO I'd also consider @arsenelupin3 making your 5c an NCV/X chip, so it can become a higher denom later if needed vs being dead in 10-20 years.

I have heard others talk about inflation and preparing by getting larger denominations. Well we just hit the hardest inflation that I've ever seen and I'm still playing for the same stakes I played for over 20 years ago. I honestly don't think inflation needs to be a factor that causes you to buy larger denominations.

lol, chip denominations from the 20’s were still $0.25, $0.50, $1, $5, $100. They weren’t anticipating our 2000’ish economy and inflation.

Through the dotcom bubble in 2000, the housing short in 2008 and pricing doubled following the "pandemic" in 2020 I'm still buying in for the same $100

I meant inflation in a larger sense, so also stakes inflation.
Maybe in, say 5-10 years, he'll want to to play higher than 5c-10c. So given the situation of CPC, I don't think it's a bad move to anticipate that.

 

[Cratty]

No way around it, every year the dollar is worth slightly less and will continue that trend at a macro level. Stakes changes likely not felt much though over the course of a decade or two. But yeah, 1920s $1 is still around $15 today.. Likely smaller population and more relative spend in pots for those folks of the time.

That said, depends on your goal for the chips. I'm hoping to make a set that will last me the next 50 years (accounting for inflation and pay/stakes increases), and I hope to pass down if I have a degen grandson/granddaughter that's interested.. but recognize by that time a quarter is likely going to be the equivalent of a nickel by that time.

But in the end.. shh.. I'm just looking for excuses to argue my wife into letting me buy more chips.

 

[Pippa]

Considering the Ewing mold for these.

Tourney set: T25, T100, T500, T1K, and T5K

@Tommy
are you really considering to make the PCF chips?
I'm in between to order a custom set (or if you will make it ) the PCF set

update me after this Black Friday sale please

 

[arsenelupin3]

I know you said you werent making the 25s and 100s but dark green and black should not be made as base colors for adjacent chips. They’re way too close in color.

Thanks for the feedback. I am making a small quantity (100, 50) of both relative to the others. Our game has remained small for close to 20 years (bought my scandia tournament set in college during the poker boom) and I do not anticipate the need to have a bigger bank than this.

Looking over the sample colors, I will probably go with green or retro green as the $25 base. The rest of the colors are a little bit oddbally but they have personal significance to me.

We still play mostly .10/.25 out of tradition.

Could always NCV it and make it a snapper, I guess.

Interested in feedback on this set.

First and fourth chip too close to each other, color-wise.

Thanks, and I agree. I mentioned this in the thread but I don’t expect my $25’s to ever be on the table at the same time as my $0.25’s. Certainly a concern but it’s one I think I can live with. Only issue is if the regulars that would play both $20 buy-in games works also play 1/2+ and get them confused from memory. I appreciate the comment!

I played that exact same game on my first ASM/CPC set. Long story short, I just ordered replacements with a more contrasting color. Not worth the risk or confusion imo. There is lots of great colors to choose from and never potentially have a problem. Good luck with your set... it looks good.

 

[Cratty]

Posting both of my final set mockups here for posterity.. and to try to limit myself from making another lol.

Damn you EWING mold.

Jolly Rogers:

Casino Royales (Vintage Inspired):

Edit: Huskerchipper won, all Casino Royales now scallop inlays vs frac one-off round.

Both cash sets...both on Ewing. Love them both actually. I could see the Jolly Roger working well with several different molds.


Opinions are like..... so take this as you wish but the .25c on the Casino Royale feels off being the only non-shaped inlay. I have seen that alot when each denom has a different shaped inlay but when all of the inlays are SCA but that one, it just seems out of place. Feel free to tell me to piss off as well.

 

[<°)))><)]

That Jolly Roger is awesome! Great job!! Your design works beautifully with any shaped inlay, kuddos!

Ha.. Yeah, I'm a creature of habit but also love rotating sets without rotating game type. I also love the mold.. only other mold that is really calling to me is the horsehead, but just doesn't fit theme-wise.. although struggling to not do a third set just for the mold.

And very fair take on the frac, and have gone back/forth on it at length and will keep simmering on it until the last minute before production I'm sure.. ha. I agree that while circle fracs are somewhat norm (when not hotstamped in those days).. does seem a bit more out of place when the rest are scallop. That said, what's held me back so far.. even though likely a bit silly reasons:

1. For a color-blind player (which I have one as a regular), I wanted to create a visual separation between the $25 and the 25c given I reused spots (and really don't want to change from 1/4 pies). Different shades, but I wanted a secondary means too to help identification incase they're ever both on the table together.
2. Feeling of being too cohesive.. I like the imperfections on the set (e.g. the "why did you do that"?s).. maybe I'm an idiot, but makes the vintage feel come out more for me.

Edit... @Huskerchipper wins after reflection. All scallops.

Maybe you need a small heads up set on HHR

I completely understand. Opinions are all over the board here on these kind of topics and I am just blurting out what came to mind.

On a final note of my blabbering. I could see your Jolly Roger set looking great on Scroll (waves of the ocean) LCROWN (treasure) DSQ & CSQ. Whatever you decide is going to look great. Can't really miss with any molds mentioned. Thanks for sharing Cratty.

I had a similar thought… I’d keep the round frac and vary the shapes across denoms.
