Are both possible

I love the idea of a Sideshow Bob mold!

 

[SeanGecko]

Web is possible!

 

[doublebooyah85]

Suits mold similar to WTHC is solid. @justincarothers had a few options in mind.

I wonder when Tina will figure out hot stamping also…

when's the poll I'm ready to vote web

I liked the Diamond mold for nostalgia but The Web has my heart.
A Web Hybrid.

 

[BPTDirector]

Maple Leaf clusters might look nice. I mean I like how the Conn Smythe trophy looks in hockey. Sorry if the spelling is wrong.

 

[4SUMERZ]

Once the Mirage casino is no longer, how about a Mirage tribute set with the palm mold???

 

[SeanGecko]

The Roman is possible too
Will need to get art for it.

I worry that it is too three dimensional. If not done well, it could be chincy looking.

Putting it to a vote!
Then getting art. We provide the art she'll get it made.

 

[TheOffalo]

Web, Stars, and X for me.

 

[aildeokl]

I love the Web mold. The idea of the Roman mold has my attention but I'd have to see it on a chip to really have an opinion.

 

[SeanGecko]

I think I should keep the poll to 4 maybe 5 choices.
Hybrid molds -
Arodie
Horseshoe
Web
T
PCF
Palm
Castle and Spear
Star MD-57
X
Cards

Going to put a Poll up Saturday or Sunday.
The bold ones are the ones I am preferring.

*edit Roman mold off the list

 

[Nanook]

I think I should keep the poll to 4 maybe 5 choices......
Arodie
Roman
Web
Palm
Star MD-57

All of these are out of production, but the Roman mold was recently produced by CPC & they may not want it reproduced. I have no idea, but as a curtesy to David & CPC I think a conversation would be in order before having anything made.

I'm sure someone still has some of these other molds, but clearly they are not being made by anyone so it's hard to imagine much pushback on any of the others.

I thought the mold was dead and no one could make any EVER. That what I always hear.

Here's the latest on the Roman mold- retired and donated.

It no longer exists. Was donated to a museum. You can't make anything operational once every cup in the mold has actually worn through!

Couldn't hurt to ask though.

The cups and hob to make the Roman for clay chips is dead. The I.P. on the mold itself isn't. That's why it'd be worth asking David.

Donated. huh.

We can always do a version of the Roman mold made so it isn't the same.

Are molds copyrighted?

He may not care at all or maybe he would.

All the talk of this stuff is just speculation. No one really knows for sure until they go down this road and someone sues to protect their property/investment etc.

I'm not saying there would be trouble and I'm not saying there wouldn't be, but it is true that CPC is the only one out there still making a true compression molded chip and he is a vendor here. Just asking before having something made would be the courteous thing to do.

 

[SeanGecko]

Might be best to not do the Roman at all. Plenty of love for the Web and the Palms.

I'll ask.

Message sent.
Going to focus more on the Web Mold I think.

 

[aildeokl]

If there's a web mold group buy, I'm gonna have to hurry up up decide on my set design

What is the approximate lead time on a new mold being ready to take orders?

It will be public so don't worry about it. Stay tuned for a poll coming this weekend.

If we don’t do Arodie we’re idiots.

Not my favorite, It will be in the poll.

 

[Nanook]

Something we can agree on

Even if it gets picked, i think it’ll depend on how well it can be implemented, if the mold can be executed in ceramic material well and if dye sublimation printing can get into the nooks and crannies of the mold.

Based on how well the Greek mold looks with the printing, I feel like the web mold, which seems even shallower, should not have any unexpected results. Not sure about star or palm or anything else.

Yup. That’s what I think people aren’t acknowledging with their choices. There are a lot of printing inconsistencies with the scrown and other large shape molds. The Greek mold is solid.
