A trade is usually easier, as PP fees actually exceed the cost of the cards. I have both poker and bridge size cut cards.

I wanted to have this up sooner, but most people know about the lost package saga, and then my kitchen reno started and everything was packed up, and everything's been general chaos around the household, but I finally got my shit together and edge-oiled the chips and got some simple pictures done against my new quartz countertop and granite backsplash.

Chips are all CPC on Large Crown mold, while plaques are MSK. The completion of this set marks a major milestone on my chipping checklist.

Original design thread here:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...bute-idea-that-ive-been-kicking-around.56820/

With this chip/plaque set, I should be able to recreate the 10-player, $10million buy-in, $5million buy-back tournament as shown in Casino Royale (2006). T5000 base tournament with starting stacks of 20/20/34/6/3 for each player. Enough T100K chips to colour up all the T5K and T25K, and enough high denom plaques to cover all rebuys and eventually colour up all the chips. I hope to be able to run an exclusive special charity fundraising event for local chippers using this set.

Breakdown:
200x T5K
200x T25K
400x T100K
60x T500K
70x T1MM
10x T5MM

Dealer/Croupier button made by @Potsie1 , and cut cards made in French flag colours in one of the many previous group buys (thanks to all!).

Enjoy!

Note: By the end of this week I will organize the sale of sample sets, with all proceeds going into a pot to be donated to charity when I run my next fundraising event on May 14, 2022. There will be a VERY limited number of sample sets available, only up to 7 large sets (3 chips + 2 plaques), and only up to 10 small sets (3 chips only). Details to follow.

I love this set! Must be a blast to play with. Runs like a two table T5 with extra zeros, I assume? I'd be tempted to have much bigger starting stacks (like $5m) to get those plaques on the table, with modest blind increases the first hour and then bigger blind increases after. How do you play it? Are the flag plaques bounties or something else? Beautiful and well done!

Yes, plays like a T5, multiplied by 1000. Start stack 10MM just like the movie scenes it was meant to replicate, but can easily do 2MM instead for a more "regular" 200BB.

That would make for a long tourney! Unless you have really aggressive blind increases. So cool. Perfection.

I got a 3-chip sample from a singles lot and always wondered where they came from. Now I know! Glad to have a small piece!
