In case people are interested…
I have never used “speciality” chips such as bounty, all-in, etc. However, I thought it might be fun to acquire some anyway. I wanted them to match my BCC “Modern Clay” set of chips since the design on those is so classic I could use the chips with any of my sets. I did a google search and found a few places that could do a custom ceramic order.
I submitted inquiries in 3 or 4 web forms and got a reply literally within an hour from @Mario Garza of Aurora Poker Gear (https://www.aurorapokergear.com/). I explained what I wanted over email and no joke within 4 hours he emailed me mockups of the design. I requested some changes and the next morning the design was done. I was considering requesting the font to match the font of the denomination on the Modern Clay chips a bit more, but decided not to make it too complicated.
A bit of back-and-forth on extra cost to align the edge spots but basically within 24 hours of the initial web form submission the order was in. The cost was $225 for the rack of 47mm ceramics, shipped. I have no idea if that’s a good price but not a ton of options since none of the other vendors who I contacted ever replied to me (wtf??).
I never asked for a lead time and wasn’t in a rush so I don’t know how long to expect for something like this to take. In any case, 22 days later the box arrived at my house.
I am very pleased with the results, see pics below, including pics of the actual Modern Clay chips as a reference for how the design matches. And the ease of doing the order was well beyond my expectations.
Oh and of course I got a 50mm Justin Rack for the chips.
Now I just need to put them to use. Questionable as to when that will happen but hey, I got them “just in case” I need them!
