I think my chips looked like the sample pictures. Many people have indicated that their purple chips got produced darker than expected. I know I'm thinking of ordering replacements for my purple. It's a little worse in person than the picture below shows.

T100 black chips followed by T500 purple chips seems to be the biggest issue people are having with the colors. Just need to go with more of a lavender or orchid color and you'll be good. Like what @chutracheese did with his Aurora Star hotstamp tributes.

My medium-dark purples ended up slightly darker than I expected for sure. That was about the only color "issue" I had and I would really hesitate to call that much of an issue. I think in general, the color may print slightly darker than some people would expect but not by much.
For the second vendor GB, we also had them send some videos of the samples, as we thought the picture quality that was sent seemed a bit washed out. When the videos came, the colors seemed to be truer to form. We assumed that Tina had a better camera than the other manufacturer. Here is the sample pic and vid of mine. The difference between the 2 for my set was not as pronounced as some.
Are all the No Mold chips a glossy edge?
I thought the chips from Tina on No Mold blank did not have the glossy edges?

There is textured and non textured. The texture ends near the edge and at that point has the same finish as the non textured. Neither is really glossy and only looks that way in some photos with harsh light. It’s actually very difficult to tell the difference between the two chips in person even once aware that that they are in fact different.
The chips in the video above are not from Tina. They are from the second vendor. So, I too would like to know if the second vendor chips have a glossier edge than the chips from Tina. I do know that is one big difference between Cards mold chips from Sun-Fly vs from Tina. Sun-Fly's are definitely more glossy.
Quick and dirty comparison between Tina chips (card mould) and other manufacturer (43mm). Same designer (@Kid_Eastwood) for both. Probably as close as we can get to a 1:1 comparison. I will do a better comparison later in the week once I get the remainder of my order with another colorway and will use a good point and shoot camera.

Nice comparison but I didn't even remember having done these WSOP primaries as 43mm in the design.
Seeing the size of the spot, they just stretched everything including text thickness and it does not render very well imho. Even on Tina's chips they increase what I set as text thickness in fact.
Édit : Just saw how the middle spot is finishing on the 43mm one. It's a shame they have not even taken the time to adjust its ending properly. It's visible on the T100, T5000 and T25000. Edges should more off also I guess because everything must be calculated so that it fits perfectly if they change the diameter and spot sizes.
Édit 2 : Tina's colors look better from the pics.
For me Tina's a big winner here.
Very nice to have done this comparison and to share it. Thanks !!
In my opinion ABC Gifts and Awards and SunFly print much better. The same design I adapted (T500 colors) for @jbomb1018 ... Look how thin and sharp are the texts... ABC Gifts and Awards made them on their textured chips.
Also the colors are very close to the ones in the design and the gradient in the "allin" text and on the cash chips turn out very well.

The edge spots being over would bug me immensely.
The absolute uniformity of the edge spots had always kinda bugged me in general if I'm being honest. The edge spots printed on trying to emulate clay edge spots which have 'organic' and non uniform distribution as the two mediums get compressed with each other has always thrown me off. I was thinking someone could try faking this by making the lines not clean, but then it'd likely look to uniformly not right, like fake brick or cinder block wall that looks 'too fake'.
Anyways, just always a gripe or mine.

Is this from Tina? Batch #4 being boxed up? It is now officially the last day of March in the Central time zone, and I think it's been 3/31 for quite a while now in China. I don't care if I see pics of my chips or not, just want to hear that they are ON A BOAT!!!
Those are mine from batch 4. But Tina sent me that pic a lonnnnngg time ago

Would love an update if possible.
Seems like an unreasonable amount of time since batch 3 shipped at this point.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had a small group buy going with a separate cards mold supplier amd it’s been equally hellish for two months now
7000 chips amd you’d think we are communicating by pigeon post.

Any explanation as to why these dates keep getting pushed out? I thought her previous message was to have them completed by March 20th?
Maybe tell her that another vendor took an order and had chips delivered in the US in about two months. Why is her company taking so much longer?

That same company pumped out crap samples for us and has not responded to my emails since. Again, not trying to cast aspersions on any ethnicity or group of people, but it seems like the Chinese plastic factories have been a mess since CNY. I’m saying this from the two group buys Im a part of and side inquiries I made for something else
Mine are batch 4 and Tina sent me completed photos of the full order a long long time ago
