I finally went custom! It's funny because when I started chipping, custom chips were available from TR King, Paulson, ASM, and a host of other places that offered a variety of chips. Thinking these options would never change, I set out for what I considered the better home game set... real casino chips. Little did I know that Paulson would be purchased by GPI and leave the home game market, TR King would close it's doors and ASM would be the only player left but at a much higher price point. Then along came vendors like NevadaJacks, thechiproom and now thechipvault all bringing real casino chips to the home game market at affordable prices. So now casino chips for use in the weekly home game is not only possible but the options are incredible. Man how times have changed...

I almost pulled the trigger on a set of ASM Roman molds about 8 years ago but circumstances prevented me from completing the project. So when the opportunity presented itself this time around, I jumped at the chance. I got in touch with Steve (aka Quicksilver-75) and got the ball rolling on some artwork. Steve did an amazing job, and together we came up with these...

Then after some last minute drama a hundo was added, and the order placed...

In the end, these are now ready to play:

Finally, the splashed pot.

I really can't thank @Quicksilver-75 enough, he was patient, very quick to respond, and does outstanding work. If anyone is looking for design help, I highly recommend You look him up. Also have to thank @David Spragg for saving ASM/CPC, the quality of chip you are putting out is awesome.

[ChaosRock]

WOW!!!! Where did that come from?!?!?! Did I miss the design thread?

Phenomenal set!! Congratulations...

That $20 chip is SICKNESS!!! (y) :thumbsup:

 

[Fleming]

Awesome chips, congrats!

 

[jbutler]

Damn, these are incredible. Amazing spot and color choices, but that $100 is crazy beautiful.

And @Quicksilver-75 that design is above and beyond. Really, really impressive.

 

[72o]

Very very nice work man. Love the inlay.

 

[toad94]

All of them are spectacular--congratulations!

 

[detroitdad]

I'm slowly falling in love with yellow five dollar chips .

 

[DJ Mack]

Very, very well done!

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Ah! Finally the big reveal!! They turned out fantastic, Tom. I'm glad you're thrilled with them. Not a dud in the set. You chose great colors.

 

[pltrgyst]

Outstanding! I truly lust after those hundos... and the non-standard base color is a major attraction. :

 

[rowlin]

This set is full of awesomeness and win. Nice work, and thanks for sharing shots of them!

 

[RowdyRawhide]

those look great! all of them are phenomenal, but the $20 has a little edge on the rest....that rack is sik

That circle and square mold is really starting to grow on me


ETA the double sided inlay is fawesome!

 

[ChipEnvy]

WOW!!!! Where did that come from?!?!?! Did I miss the design thread?

You didn't miss it. I didn't have one. I wanted to try to work my way through it by myself (with the assist of @Quicksilver-75).

 

[ChaosRock]

You didn't miss it.

LOL!!! I know I didn't Tom, hahahaha... What a great set you put together, mate! We need a shot of the $20 chip rack though, by itself

Btw, @Quicksilver-75 , bud, you did an outstanding job on the inlays!!! Really great stuff Steve...

 

[SixSpeedFury]

Gotta take a pic of the stacks close-up!

 

[Rhodeman77]

Love Cali colors sets!!! That $20 is beyond awesome. Love the hundo as well and in most sets it would be the stand out chip by far.

Great job all around.

I have to second the praise for @Quicksilver-75. The guy is great to work with.

Beautiful chips by the way.

BTW...dont you have some chips coming soon?

Ha!

I actually did an add-on to my cash set recently. So once those arrive (and are hidden from the wife) I will be putting in my order for the Bucknuts set.

 

[mattduck]

The set looks great. Big fan of the $5.

 

[TheBigTater]

Wow, these are freakin' outstanding! Can't really pick a favorite, I like them all. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[rowlin]

I like how you used the colors from some of your favorite teams without it being obvious or taking away from the overall design.

Can't wait to see these beauties in person one day.

 

[jbutler]

I like how you used the colors from some of your favorite teams without it being obvious or taking away from the overall design.

Damn I didn't even notice that.

Anyone want to match the chip to the team for those of us too ignorant to do it ourselves?

 

[rowlin]

I only see the Wazzu quarters and am a little suspicious of the twenty as maybe being Seahawks-themed.

 

[Kyle]

Nice looking set!

 

[Puggy]

Truly an awesome set. Killer combos. Well done.

 

[Phantom]

Great work mate, they look fantastic.

@Quicksilver-75 nicely done again mate.

 

[12thMan]

They turned out AWESOME Tom! Please please please bring some to the first Redbelly game in a couple weeks, would love to check em out in person.

Love yellow 5's, love flag chips, and oh damn that $20 and $100... Home run sir!
