Thanks, I will. I only had a couple of minutes before leaving work. They look and feel great.

Mine made it in today -- really happy with them! This is just one rack of each. No, I have no idea what the non-denoms with the yellow labels are for...or the $25s, for that matter. I just really like the way they look.

Nice set!

Mine are sided to be here today... If they don't get here I'm going to be very sad.

Another great set. So many chips. Do you think I could use a couple of photos for our web site gallery and store? Let me know. Thanks.

Yep...I'll shoot you the high res over email.

Sal-
Thank you so much for everything in this buy. You are incredible.

Sal

Appreciate all the hard work you did on this buy.
I noticed that you have a link on your site for the Tangier Custom Ceramics. Any ETA on when you may have that built to take additional orders?
I received my cash set order from the GB, but realized that I want to add some quarters to that set for a lower stakes cash game group we play with. (y) :thumbsup:

Doing that this weekend. Some of them are actually up already but I'm still working on them. Please be patient if they don't look up to par yet.

 

[OldWestPokerSupplies]

The Tangiers and two of the Mayfair Club sets are up on the online store. I'll have the Mayfair Line Art and the Havana Room sets up later today. Please don't mind the dust and errors. I'm still fine tuning all the entries. But they work. We've already had orders. Yay!

 

[TheBigTater]

Sal, is there a selection for ordering blanks?

Eventually there will be. Like later today or tomorrow. It just has to be added.

Great work Sal - can't wait to add on to my set.

Photo's are here in the other thread, in case anyone wants a look-see and missed it

damnt.......i regret missing out on three 43mm chips at those prices.

They look great Sal. Especially those Tangiers.

even at retail prices, three 43mm chips shouldn't break the bank.

He’s got them at $1.07 apiece. Everybody’s got to judge what breaks their bank for themselves, but to me, that’s a big number for a non-clay chip.

They are 1.02 edge aligned with PCF member prices. Not a big difference but FYI. Nicest non-clay chips I've ever played with so far, FWIW.

I think links was poking fun at the auto correct

Good to know.
I think I’d agree with you about the 43mms, though I found the 39s to be nothing special.
And I’m not trying to say it’s not a fair price, I’m just having a hard time wrapping MY head around it.

Yeah, I think the 39mm are nice, but comparable to other ceramics as far as feel and stacking and sound and such.

I don't disagree with you. That's why I haven't bought any at the listed price on his site. Now saying that, I think 1.02 for 43mm hybrid chips is a solid price. They were definitely a deal at .82 cents per chip.

I think the 39mm are nice

I had samples of the 39 mm chips and they didn't feel right to me. They looked sharp as hell. I wasn't a fan of how they felt. I loved the 43 mm chips. The oversized chips had a much more significant feel to them.

@OldWestPokerSupplies , Sal, got my chips. I've been working so much I didn't open package for nearly 2 weeks. They look great. Thanks, frank

I was surprised that my blanks had clear labels vs no label at all. Great if planning on using them as-is; not so great if planning on applying aftermarket labels. Chips look great.

well that's....interesting.

This is the same way the blanks from the Boardwalk GB came out. I thought it kinda weird then as well but it is hardly noticeable and IMO has no real impact on applying labels. I have test applied Gears laminated labels and there is more than enough depth to spare and the labels seem to adhere just fine.

Hmm, mine aren't. I'll snap a shot tomorrow.

 

[TheBigTater]

I don't know whether I'd say it's a clear label or more of a thin shiny plastic coating but it's there. I tried to get a Xacto blade under it and it but it just nicks off like its a coating/sealant material. It really doesn't have any impact IMO, just different.

Hmm. Maybe it’s some kind of coating or surfacer to make the stickers stick better?

We cannot figure out what it could be.

Does anyone have pictures?

 

[pedrofisk]

Here are a couple of photos of my blanks. The center has a slight sheen as there is no dye-sub printing on it but there is no label. I can clearly feel the two small indented circles.

Thank you. Good to know that your blanks are okay.

Does anyone have an example of the blanks with clear labels?

Or if it's not an issue any longer please let me know.

Thanks.

 

[TheBigTater]

IMO for me it's not an issue at all Sal, labels adhere without problems. Like I said it's more of a shiny coating that looks like a clear cover/label. Originally after trying to pry under it I decided that it was more of a coating than a label. The new blanks i got in this GB were just the same as the one from the BW GB.

I pretty sure I remember this being discussed in one of the BW GB threads, unfortunately that info is lost forever in limbo.

 

[BGinGA]

I can clearly feel the two small indented circles.

Those two small circles are holes in the clear label; it's definitely not just a coating. Every chip I have has clear labels on both sides, and only one side has the label with the two holes.

On some chips (depending on artwork design), the label covers the slight ink overspray in the recessed area, just as a normal label would do. I'll try to get some pics up later.
