Custom artwork group buy. US/CAN CARDS MOLD (9 Viewers)

Good point about the River Rat. I think you are 100% correct about that. It's out (for this project, anyway).

I also really like the Fox Run design. My neighborhood is named Fox Run, which makes it more personal, as well. But I always have that nagging thought in the back of my head that says, "what happens when you move? Fox Run won't mean as much to you at that point."

I live on Fox Hollow Rd and was thinking of having Fox Hollow Card Room put on mine. We just move here and are here for the long haul. Unless I win the WSOP or something. Ha

Received the sample barrel. Thanks! I have to say, I’m extremely impressed with the quality. And the colors are impressive too. The pink on the watermelon frac jumps out at you. So much that I may need to rethink my snapper to that base chip color.

The FLAT 43mms are from ABC and I sent them for you fellas to keep.

Edit - or whatever you want to do with them.

Edit main post

- Cost at 10,000 is 26¢. I don't want to keep saying 26¢ since if you include the other costs it turns out to be .299999 or so. A more accurate cost all in will be 30¢.

Still a great price.

Great deal if the chips hold up. Really looking forward to jumping on his if I can do a bump test and not have a full barrel come crashing down. Might make a new tourney set to go with my new Sun-Fly cash set, even though I've only used my ChipCo tourney set like 3 times.

current shipping is $280 this could change by the time we actually order in August or September.

Should be at your place by 4:30 or so we will see!!!

Definitely interested, plan on making a set for myself and a Packers set for a friend of mine who is recovering from major surgery and has the worst set of chips our group plays with. I think I've even posted a picture of them in the Home Game thread with the throw up emoji.

I found the post:

If anyone wants to help with the Packers design for his set, feel free to PM me as I'm new to all of this.

Had a few minutes to stack/shuffle these things (awesome gesture @SeanGecko ) and it doesn't take long to realize this is a great deal for a good chip. I'll post some pictures/comparisons when I have more time tonight or tomorrow, but I'm impressed.

I remember when the Dunes clones first came out of China and I thought "at that price, they can't be that bad right?" Wrong. I still have a box of 100 in storage as a reminder to not be stupid.

These things are a no brainer. They pass the table bump test repeatedly so far, and shuffle like a dream. They have the same spinner problem as most ceramics (save for ChipCo), which is basically - a few in every stack will spin. It's no really matter, though. They stack, cut, shuffle, and spread real nice. You won't find a better deal on customs I can guarantee it.

 

[krafticus]

I’m officially in for 2200-2400 chips

Thank you for the review.

 

[BGinGA]

In for at least a Limit set of 1000 chips.... probably using modified Aces artwork.

I think that puts us around 18,000 chips, with maybe another price break at 20K.

 

[FDLmold]

I have my samples. I would compare them almost identically with the Venerati ceramics. Very similar feel and texture, though the Venerati are a little more glossy on the edges. At 30 cents each for these custom in a big order, it's the steal of the century for non-clay poker chips.

Here are the HEX codes for all the colors in the Aces color wheel AI/PDF file..

EDIT: So it's been a while since I've done any design work to know better, but the Hex color doesn't always match with an exact Pantone color. And I do recall several times the vendor cannot match some of these colors in the wheels, but at the very least can be used for a reference.

I usually used https://www.pantone.com/color-finder or https://codebeautify.org/hex-to-pantone-converter to help me fine the Pantone colors to use, or close to, for certain colors when I used to design.

granted, I have no experience printing on a ceramic chip, but it just seems weird to me that they can print some colors but not others.

Thanks for the codes, though.This will help a lot.

Hope this is working out for everyone.

I'd liked to get everyone who wants on board to get squared away by August 2nd or so.

Also after everyone molests my sweet chips we can get an accurate accounting of the order totals.
Don't worry about the art deadlines I know over half are waiting on art.

Thanks everyone

Be cool
-Sean

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

Here's a revised version of my very UN-professional self-butchered artwork! I'm doing a tournament set. I re-crunched numbers, added some plaques (I hope we can get the minimum down to 25) and some 43mm Bounty chips. My new numbers:

CARDS mold chips - 1500 (increase of 100)
43mm Bounty chips - 40
T50K plaques (85 x 53) - 40
T100K plaques (85 x 53) - 25 (assuming 25 will be the min)

New Total - 1605

I tried to put this together using inkscape and the Aces editable file from that GB.

I would prefer to rotate the spots so that they are at 12/6 instead of 3/9.

I would need to finish the wording for the 2.50. Maybe 'SNAPPER' I don't think 'two dollars and fifty cents' would fit well.

I don't like the yellow. The color pallete is very limiting.

Just a screen shot but am I barking up the wrong tree?

Can we get an artist on this?

I think it's looking pretty good, but I'm a counselor for a living.

I would just make the $5 red since the yellows are not great of color choices. Maybe the vendor has more of a variation of yellows.

Just a computer engineer who is distractible and had an hour to burn. If someone who knows what they are doing wants to grab these I'd be more than happy. Anyone who wanted to do the aces inlay is more than free to use em.

yeah, I was trying to stick relatively close to cali colors which is why I went with the yellow, but seems like probably not enough yellow gradiants for your eye to notice.

I think the yellows may turn out better in real life than on these mock ups. There are some nice yellows in this pic.

Thanks for the codes, though.This will help a lot.

Printers, the vast majority of the time, use CMYK which is a mixture of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and blacK. It can replicate a good amount of colours, Only catch is, there are millions more our eyes can see than CMYK can reproduce.

Complicating matters, RGB, which computer monitors, tv’s, phones etc use can display a wider gamut than CMYK is capable. This is the first problem.

Making matters even worse, everyone’s devices are calibrated differently. Monitors especially. So what what looks one way on my monitor probably looks slightly different on another monitor.

Typically, it’s fine but using RGB colours and converting to CMYK to print can bring about unexpected results.

Edit to add this good visual representation

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

well I gave a shot at my own design I am sure I will change 99 times over the weekend, going to put text on the other side, something like Sean is using on his.
This will be a cash game set .25,.50, 1.00, 5.00, 10.00 and .........I don't like the 10.00 one yet, need to find the right combo for edges, I like the colors

Tip your wait staff or art people
Tip Tim!!

 

[JustDave]

Curious if the alignment of the cards for the mold was intentional and they could put it between the edge spots on purpose or if that was just happenstance.
