This is a dealer button group buy that got its origins from a thread started by @kk405 here. The general idea is to create dealer buttons that have never been made before, or were made years ago, or are popular enough that they just needed to be run again. With an emphasis toward basing them on old casinos or epic chip sets (with the owner's permission, obviously). I have coined the term "PCFDBGB" to stand for "Poker Chip Forum Dealer Button Group Buy." Unless demand drops off, the plan is to run one of these every three months or so. This is the fourth DBGB, hence the "04" suffix.
There is already quite a long list of suggestions in the above mentioned thread, as well as the idea/suggestion box thread found here. A number of designers have contributed to this group buy, and many thanks go to them and the PCF members who commissioned the designs for allowing them to be available to the masses.
Most of the DB artwork has a rolling edge design. In order to get the rolling edge printed, there is a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 10 (ten) per design. If we do not reach this minimum, we will not get the rolling edge printed (it will be plain white). That said, I don't expect the MOQ to be a problem for this group buy.
The buttons will be produced by our dealer button go-to site vendor @BR Pro Poker on their 60mm ceramic blanks. Price per button will be $5.00 each plus re-shipping, with a few exceptions. The Teddy KGB Oreo button has a price of $15.00 because it is actually comprised of three dealer buttons (2 x 60mm "cookie" pieces plus 1 x 49mm "cream fililng" piece). The Aria buttons (items F, G, H and I) will have a $0.50 per button royalty that will go directly to the designer (Johnny5). The first three Horseshoe buttons (items J, K and L) will have a $0.40 per button royalty that will pay for buttons going to the designer (Johnblue). The Paulson Elite buttons (items Q and R) will have a $0.50 per button royalty that will go directly to the designer (Timinater). In addition, the 47mm chips will be $1.25 each.
Below is the list of items that are available (items A thru U and AA thru KK). Preliminary images of the dealer button designs are below and continue in post #2 of this thread. When I get the final proofs from BR Pro Poker they will be posted. The order charts begins in post #3 of this thread - if you see an error with your order, let me know ASAP.
If you wish to participate in this group buy, please place your order in the following manner:
A x 1
C x 2
H x 4
This order thread will have a much shorter window than the previous group buy, but still allow plenty of time for people to place their orders. My current plan is to close this to new orders at midnight on Sunday, December 26, and begin collecting payments the following week via PM. The order will be placed with BR Pro Poker once payments have been collected. If all payments are collected promptly, the order should be paid in full by Friday, December 31, and it should be about 3 weeks until I receive the order. Then, give me some time to get everyone's orders packed up and shipped out. I am totally willing to ship internationally, but as we all know, there is a higher cost and a higher degree of risk with those shipments compared to CONUS shipping. I strongly suggest using a USA re-shipper just because small packages seem to take much longer than larger packages. I am totally willing to follow up with the USPS to try to track down slow domestic and international shipments, but once I give you your tracking number, there isn't much else I can do.
CONUS shipping: 1 to 5 buttons will be $5.00 / 6 to 10 buttons will be $6.00 / 11 to 30 buttons will be $9.00 in a SFRB.
For shipping purposes, 1 x 60mm dealer button is roughly equivalent to 2.17 x 47mm chips.
INTERNATIONAL shipping for up to 10 buttons will be classified as a "first class package." This costs more (typically $15 to $25 depending on where it's going), but tracking goes beyond the US customs office. Anything over one pound (11+ buttons) will need to be shipped priority mail, which increases the shipping cost considerably.
