I'm going to be organizing a group buy for Matsui cash set chips. There will be 2 sets, one cali-colors and one traditional colors, plus a few extra chips to help facilitate mix-and-match for semi-custom sets. All chips will have the same inlay design -- this will keep the artwork costs down. I still need to work out the details with Matsui, regarding costs. Hopefully within the next week or two, we can get an official order thread going. I hope that the cost will be in the $1.50/chip range, but if we can reach 10k chips ordered, it should be a little less than this, and if the order goes higher, the price per chip goes down, as fixed costs are spread thinner.
Thanks to @MoscowRadio for the awesome inlay artwork -- he has been so awesome to work with (if you're looking for design work, give him a try!). Thanks to @Perthmike for doing the heavy lifting in designing these chips. And thanks to @detroitdad for his help too.
Here are mock-ups of the chips. Not all details are final. Final color decisions are pending receipt of a color kit from Matsui (this may not arrive until the end of May). In particular, the spot color on the Cali 5, and the mold choice for the $20, $25, and $100 in the traditional set are not set in stone. Most everything else is pretty solid.
For planning purposes, this is going to have to be turned around pretty quickly. My Matsui rep is going on leave, and I need to get this order placed and paid by June 10th. The order thread will probably only be open for about a week, with payment required within about a week after that. So start thinking of what your set might look like, NOW.
Here you go...
