Rounders & Chesterfield............. (3 Viewers)

[David Spragg]

I know some of you are already aware, but this youtube video went viral over Xmas and has resulted in considerable demand for the Rounders stock chips.

I realise now why Adam says what he does about the 'manufacturer'. He ordered through 3rd party pokerchips.com who were obviously not going to give out ASM's details.

Anyway, there have been a number of enquiries about the counterpart Chesterfield chips. We would never replicate them exactly but I'm looking at possible options.
Below is the original design (exception being original $1's were bright white which was only about as bright as our regular white is now).
Also shown is the original design on the unobtrusive jockey mold as an option, and also the $1 with color change on the denom (done crudely by me) on the original plain mold.

Opinions welcome, I may or may not answer them

Any 25 cent chip options? Maybe peach or sky blue?

 

[Emlemleml]

Those were no-mold chips, right?

Hmmm...blue 25c 314 w/light blue spots and Mandarin Red base for the $5?

 

[Beakertwang]

Solid Maroon, canary, or pink quarters?

 

[Saoliver]

That blue looks good. I was thinking lavender or blurple frac with bright white spots.

I personally love solid fracs. Maybe even a hotstamp!

^^^ This. Just remove the center decorations, slap on the new denom, artwork done!

I have 3 sets of Galaxy KEMs. I believe that is one of the rarest and least recognizable patterns of Kem cards but they made to the movie. They are seen in scene where Worm plays against two Russian mobsters in Chesterfield Club. Teddy used Arrow pattern and that's why they become so highly recognizable.

Considering chip design... I like them but think about removing green square from lable... I belive that would let's say crisp view of denomination.

It is an exact replica of the movie chips, that is what almost everyone wants.

I stand corrected. I had no idea. Great job.

 

[David Spragg]

I think most people are missing the point.
The top set shown is the mockup for the movie props. I'm not entertaining color or denom changes as people have asked for as close as possible to the originals.
If we go ahead with something then people could always make custom orders as they do for Rounders. A 25c and maybe $1000 could be added. Hardly anyone orders the Rounders 50c and $5,000 so I wouldn't bother with those initially.

Oh good lord, if these get made on the Jockey mold I won’t be able to help myself!!

Why don’t you become a jockey, do something useful?

 

[eztrekker]

Change the denomination to green, if you want to make it different.

 

[JFCJ]

Plain textured mold gets my vote.

That's possible

 

[David Spragg]

Plain textured mold gets my vote.

Can only be used if we modify the art.

 

[Tommy]

What about using the textured plain mold and adding some text under the denom on the original art? Maybe CPC like how they add BJ to Bud Jones chips, or CC for Chesterfield Club, or the year the movie was made?

Too close to the original, there was a promise we would never do that.
Everyone who expressed an interest wanted the design untouched except for a color change if necessary.

I thought the example of black denoms you posted looked good.

Someone above mentioned green denoms. I'd have to see it to know for sure, but I'm thinking that might be a little too Christmasy.

 

[JoeBGo]

I would say the artwork is more important than the mold? Jockey for the win!

I'm contemplating 2 options.
Both molds are at least a few months out so I could open up pre-orders on both and see what the interest is, then decide.

As much as I like the jockey mold, I'd want a personal set of tribute Chesterfields to be as authentic as possible -- meaning plain mold with black denoms (since red would be a no-go).

 

[Forty4]

Roman mold?

 

[David Spragg]

Roman mold?

Hasn't existed for 10 years.

 

[mipevi]

Scrowns?

 

[Forty4]

Hasn't existed for 10 years.

I know but possible fundraising option. Especially with Hollywood desires and pockets.
