@flipkick Have you been introduced to the Cards mold custom group buy yet? Buy #1 is just now wrapping up, but the talk is already building for buy #2. Won't be surprised if it kicks off before year end. Basically you get custom designed ceramic chips for about 30 cents each.
These are mine, and they just rolled off the line today!

If you happen to like the art that someone else came up with, you could use it pretty cheaply, and get your full set of 400 tournament chips delivered to your door for about $150. My design is very personal to me, but some of the others have a wider appeal. Or you could commission your own design for a bit more money, unless you're a wiz with Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and can design your own.
Here's the thread if you're interested.

It's a long one, But most of the details are in post #1 and then just skip to the end and check out the designs as they are being printed right now as we speak.
