So it Begins... (10 Viewers)

Wow, these chips are phenomenal. So who's going to organize a poker tournament between now and the release of these chips where we all play for $250 and the winner takes the proceeds to buy some of these chips!!! (250x40 players = $10,000) should be able to snap up at least one set am I right?

 

[Lil Tuna]

Nothing beats a blurple chip @JeepologyOffroad!
I think the future may have just caught up with the past. A mighty fine chip indeed!

WOWZERS!!

 

[doublebooyah85]

Hunger Games or bust. How much do y'all really want these chips?

Meet up tournament lol

[louBdub]

Yeah I’m just spouting off. No offense intended to you. (Unless you’re a non-playing vault hoarding collectior)

Same.

@TX_Golf_N_Poker i wasn’t aiming at you. I know you throw down.

I’m aiming at non users/players. If you buy and don’t play, you’re a flipper, just waiting for your moment to make a quick buck.

Also see definition of “The Poors”

I said what I said.

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

don't worry Bay Area friends, I am hoping to purchase this set as my first clay set. Pending final prices of course.

Purchase decision is based on price??? You're OUT!

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

@JeepologyOffroad, not sure where this falls in the grand scheme. Do you know/could you share if you and Ken have already talked about/decided on allowing folks to purchase the use of the design for say a felt? This would be my largest purchase to date by 3-4x if I'm lucky enough to nab one, just thinking that the set would be deserving of a lil accoutrement.

Of course it would be fine with me. I also have cut cards and buttons in the works. Likely run a matsui DB group buy next year if anyone is interested.

yes, because sadly I can only early withdraw so much of my 401k

Congrats on the score - they're awesome and very Jeep!

jeep & kk should sell these chips for the maximum that they can get for them. Because, quite frankly, if they don't someone else will. And since they put all the effort in, they should get the reward.

And yeah, I like bright colours too

 

[Gear]

May I suggest making a "sticky" FAQ-style post somewhere to save a lot of time and noise?

e.g.
Q: What color is [that inlay]? The inlays look different from pic to pic!
A: All the inlays are the same background color. Only the star accents are different, to match each chips.
[or whatever is correct]

Q: What color is [that chip]? They look different from pic to pic!
A: Here is a definitive list of the colors & spot patterns selected.

EDIT: it's here now!

@JeepologyOffroad and @kk405
Was there a limit to how many chips you could've purchased?

 

[Johnblue]

Both $25,00 chips are 43mm, but they are not commonly used in most sets... just two additional chips to have around, just in case they become necessary

Oh snap! That’s cool too! Still very glad the 1k and 5k are THC.

 

[Altheman003]

39mm (THC) >>>> 43mm

 

[kmccormick100]

I didn't even have a 401k at 24

Agree, physical battle and violence is the only honest way to fairly distribute these chips.

yup… this weekend when I get a chance … and will likely post it in the Marketplace as well.

So they said it will be a vendor sale by @kk405. But I'm most curious about this flipper busting thing you speak of. Do you mean that they're planning to sell at

Ftr this project has been way more work than people will ever realize. @kk405 has done a fantastic job of steering the ship so far. Better than anyone could ever hope for. That said, it’s impossible to keep everyone happy. He’s not Oprah and there is no magic fairytale land where everyone is 100% pleased, but just know that no decisions were made by him without a lot of thought and effort.

For a fleeting moment, that was a hope that maybe GPI was presented with an opportunity to serve the consumer market again, and you guys had the magic connections to make that happen. Oh well... lol.

 

[kmccormick100]

So how much do THC chips from GPI cost these days?

I'd guess probably 2.5-3.5x as much as they did when the original Boat NAGBs happened based on inflation and upcharges for the Holy Spots.

 

[5aces]

Holy!

 

[quintooo]

I didn't even have a 401k at 24

seems like you turned out fine, so who cares if I blow up my retirement accounts now right?!

 

[davislane]

My personal favorite chip out of all the chips…

4 colour 4v418. That chip is now part of an exclusive club. Bravo!

 

[Thisfiendis138]

I’m wearing out the react in this thread. I hope it lasts forever

 

[12thMan]

Blue Grain with Blaze Orange and Skye Blue

The cali 1s are in my top three, and they may be my favorite out of them all. Love this chip

 

[Johnblue]

Shouldn’t be too hard to piece together this limit set right? … RIGHT?

I genuinely am curious as to how GPI looks at these mock-ups and then is able to convince themselves a real casino is getting these. I feel like you’d know a PCF mock-up when it hit your desk. I don’t seem to recall any casinos running 4 sets in both Vegas and Cali colors plus a hotstamp set as well. They have to know when they made these what they were for. I just don’t see how they couldn’t.

These sets hit their bottom line, period. Pretty sure that as long as you can provide whatever paperwork they need, they are happy to make a sale.

I'm pretty sure GPI was under no auspices that these were going to a casino...

Why do you think the absurd fees were added?
