What's wrong with the Roman mold? Redbelly's looks to be in fine shape
So who owns the scroll mold, and where is it currently located? I saw that PGI recently offered up for sale ($10K) the one they purchased from Hispania. Is there more than one mold in existence?

I guess your wife is too busy to help today
Whole center has collapsed. Not visible to naked eye, only by touch or measurement.
Okay, I know it's been discussed before, but in light of recent FDL developments....
How much to a) repair or b) replace the Roman mold? Dunno if a) is possible, and I'm sure that b) will be very costly -- but I gotta ask.
Are samples of the scroll mold available yet (or will they be available before the order period closes)?
I have spoken with David at CPC and have been given the go ahead to start an interest thread on a Rounders, Teddy KGB replica chip set.
To me, the chips in Rounders are second only to the WSOP chips on my want list. I've contemplated more than once on doing a replica set, and even did a Canadian Rounders re-label set on the Roman mold. Unfortunately, the Roman mold is no longer fit for use, however that meant I was able to get permission on something equally nice.
The original artwork that JimB used for the chips in the movie will be used for this set! The chips will be produced on the scroll mold. The scroll mold is my favourite CPC mold available for use at this time. I have a small quantity of ASM produced scroll mold chips (JimB ASM) and they are AWESOME. (I own sets on the following molds, for comparison purposes, A mold, B mold, Circle Square, Diamond Square, Elephant and Crown, Fleur de Lis, H mold, Hourglass, Horsehead Right, Roman, and 44mm A mold)
I am not certain yet if this will be an actual group buy , where all chips ordered will be through myself, or if CPC will allow separate orders.
My current plans are to deviate somewhat from the Rounders chips and here is what I am looking at doing for myself.
$25 chip , Green 314 DG Peach (this changes from the 414 spot in the movie)
$100 chip , Black 414 DG Green
$500 chip , Blurple 614 DG Arc Yellow (this changes to Blurple from ? in the movie)
$1000 chip , 44mm Scroll DG Saturn Yellow 514 Blue (might go with a different blue for the spot, not sure yet)
$5000 chip , 44mm Scroll Maroon 514 DG Pink (not set in stone on this, open to suggestions)
THE ONLY THING THAT IS SET IN STONE FOR THIS PURCHASE
- Inlays to be JimB's originals
- Mold is to be scroll
So, if you want to do different colours, spots, etc, so long as you can make the minimum quantity, it's a go.
Now, does anyone else want to play some poker with some of the most famous chips ever?

Placeholder for further info
I had tried to add a second post right after the first, but it only allowed me to 'edit' the original post. Anyways, here's some more thoughts / info :
David mentioned that the scroll mold has not been used yet by CPC, and thus, similar to the FDL mold rebirth, he is wanting to get a few thousand orders in, to make it worth while for them to run this.
Timeframe would likely be ~3 months or so. There are orders in line already, so these would be placed after those.
If some people from Canada are afraid of shipping charges, I can re-ship them from Canada. However there would be a shipping cost from CPC to me, and then me to final destination.
If some people only want sample sets, they can piggy back onto my order, and I can send those out if needed.
I am most likely in for ~800 39mm chips and ~300 44mm chips
Here's some of the actual props from the movie:
and
I believe these are also props:
and here was a mockup I found on CT:
of course, that mockup is on a different mold, and is not the correct artwork.
A really rough mockup:

You may not have followed all the threads. The molds have never been used by us and we will only undertake the costly exercise of preparing and installing them if there is sufficient uptake from this order period.
Samples can only be produced once the molds are installed for the production run, so they would be available for anyone interested in future orders on them.

I will be in for only a shuffle stack of the cheapest of each sized chip. 14 of each size. As I am interested in the scroll mold for my custom set I am planning.
