Trust me! I did a ton of fiddling, and no matter what, I could never get every label printed in the center. On each page, some on one part of the page would be centered, and others would not. Or I'd get it where I was pretty happy with most of the centering on one page, then the very next page with the same settings would be a little off. It was a laborious process and I would not do it again to save a few pennies per label. I'll leave printing labels to the professionals.

On the other hand, sticking finished labels on chips is a breeze, and actually pretty fun. I did about 600 with this set, and have considered several other relabel projects. Would not hesitate at all to take one on, even for many more than 500 chips. Dozens (hundreds?) of PCFers have done it.

I hear you about printing labels. Its is a very laborious process. RE sticking on labels,you think a label on a chip won't be raised too much? I would think labels make the chips not feel smooth on the side.

I think you are not understanding that there is a whole process for relabeling chips, and it's different depending on the type of chip. You may want to search for threads discussing inlay replacement, milling and murder.

My china clay chips were manufactured with a recess intended to take a label. When I got the chips, they already had labels on them from Gear. In fact, they had laminated and textured labels, which I believe were the thickest ones that Gear sells. I simply peeled those off and put on the ones I printed. The ones I put on are thinner, so no issues at all with the label area being thicker than the rest of the chip. Some chips can only take a thin label (over-labels) and some have a deeper recess due to milling or having had the original inlays removed and can take a thick label. The other threads I referred to will explain it better than I can here in one short post.
 
As most of the crew I play with live in my building or in other apartments around Lake Kawana, we tend to rotate hosting duties. I started to unofficially call our game the Lake Kawana Club.

Although we were using good old ‘dice chips’ at the start, we’ve incrementally upgraded to some Pharaohs china clays and currently the Drunkle Wades ceramics.

In six months or so we will have “official” chips befitting our get togethers.

We just have a neighborhood Dads group we play with once a month if we’re lucky, and I’m not fortunate enough to be able to finish my basement so I don’t have a “room” but normally I bring all the goods to my neighbors house who has a killer mancave that used to be a patriots players house which is cool, so I feel like that rooms more or less adopted the name. The name we’ve given our gatherings is the Cathedral Cardroom per the main neighborhood street, and in the 8 months I’ve been here I’ve really run with that as far as I could. It’s no CPCs and casino grade tables, but we enjoy our little corner of the gambling world. Here’s where we’re at.

Original Truman’s House (2009-2012) - my condo in Northern MA. We used to have a core group of about 20 people that played, and we started with HE and matured gradually to a 6-5-4-3-2 mix rotation (SOHE, Big O, PLO, Crazy Pineapple, Holdem). This is pre-circus days and my ASMs were usually in play.

I called it Truman’s House because Truman was our first bulldog and he really did run the house…

We had the first 3 BBOTB (Bounty Battle On The Border) meetups here.

Truman’s House II (2012-2021) - my house in northern MA.We had a partially finished basement and dedicated it to poker (along with the usual systems you find in a basement and washer/dryer). Concrete floors, minimal heating so we had to dress in layers in the winter, and it was just pure defen action - look no further than the dead soldier non-winning scratch tickets in the rafters. No bar to speak off (handful of random bottles) but always stocked with cases of Treehouse IPA in the fridge (back when there were purchasing limits and it was difficult to get in volume).

BBOTB IV through IX were held here or at my sister location at Chicken Rob’s in northern NH.

Roscoe’s Room at Truman’s House West (2021 - current) - we moved to Arizona in 2021 and I’ve held RIA (Raise in Arizona) meetups I-III here with IV already scheduled for 2025. I took over half of a gym room that allocated for 2 tables and gave a third table in the family room.
