First, big thanks to @FordPickup92 for the loan of a sample set of these!
Very interesting. I have a sample set too, so not a large population to compare, but mine in those three denominations have no visible difference in size. So I pulled out my caliper, and while there are slight differences, they are no where near as large as yours. All three of my larger denominations are within 0.3mm of each other, both length and width. You're saying that your (Brie's) $1000 plaque is about 2mm longer and wider than the $100 plaque? Wow! Now it sounds like we need someone with a larger collection to do some research for us. Since all three of these are supposed to be the same size, if there are inconsistencies, I would expect to see them within every denomination. Because if they are consistent within denominations, but slightly larger as the denomination increases, then that implies it was intentional during their manufacture.
Correct. I don't have calipers so can't give you measurements, but it was obvious from the moment I held all three of the larger plaques ($100, $500, $1000) that the $100 was noticeably smaller. Taking another look, and holding them on a flat surface, the $100 is noticeably shorter on both sides. Might be .5mm between the $100 and $1000, but it's definitely closer to 1.5-2mm between the $500. I doubt this is intentional and just imagine its the quality control you get from a "tina" company.
I noticed some thickness variation, also, but its impossible for me to measure/describe. Just a general feel.
This is the one I have. For the low price, I've been extremely happy with it. I've had it for a year and a half and the first battery is just now running low. And it came with two extras! I use mine so often I feel like it's an indispensable tool for any chipper to have.
Exactly.
Wa @fishsaybloop had been giving a huge discount for the plaques at 30 cents each
Pictures seem to be brokenHere's a picture of the top and sides of them while they're in a box. There may be one or two that have a slightly different rounded corner, but you really can't tell unless you line it up perfectly.
My calipers don't show any measurable difference. I think that there could definitely be some measurement inconsistencies depending on where exactly your measuring. As I said, some of the corners seem like they're not exactly uniform, but it doesn't really change the overall size.
So, at most, I get a variation of about 0.1mm variation (height or width) across all of my plaques.
It was rendering for me. Very odd. I deleted the images and then I reuploaded them to the same post. Let me know if it's still broken.
Correct, that's why I decided to post the pictures. It shows that, for at least the ones that I received, there is no discernible difference in their size within the same size class.
Nobody did HSI plaques yet??@fishsaybloop , just curious if there is any thought about an HSI high denomination plaque group buy? I'm contemplating an HSI tourney set, but $1k and up would be impossible to build a decent sized set.
Just a thought, thanks!
