Conquerors don’t generally take requests.

Even conquerors know their limitations, that's good.

Will folks entering for the limit set know if they made the cut before the timeline for ordering racks ends, or is everything going together?

I will let them know by Saturday afternoon so they have a chance to cancel, add or modify their orders.

…finally, tinkering with the idea of a ‘cash Bear Claw’ set.

Yeah, me too!

Some updates...

I have closed most of the sales threads and will post a new thread in the Vendor section sometime this evening for the remaining chips/racks/sets that I have... some of the denoms that will be listed have very limited quantities available...some just a handful... a couple of them only 1 rack left, for example...but I am still going to list them...

just a random pic

As promised, I am publishing GPI/Paulson's latest available Chip Styles (spot patterns), based on their 2021/2022 catalog. I will send this to Tommy as well to make it available via PCF's Chip DB or Resources.

That’s not so bad. To be honest, now that you’ve tigered things out, I think we’ve see enough claw patterns to last a life time anyway.

Interesting some of the new styles imitate the minimal/shortened TRK spots

If that’s accurate, it’s officially the beginning of the end.

That was the precisely the goal since there's a chance we don't see them again.

Would love to see Style 54 used for the next NAGB, personally.

Another tidbit I can add: As of 2022, ANGEL/GPI stopped selling clay chips in the largest continent in the world...which I believe is also the biggest casino market. Not sure what this means for the overall future strategy of the company, and it may take several years to unfold (maybe even a decade or more), but it's not a positive sign for clay disc enthusiasts. Obviously this doesn't apply to customers who are grandfathered or what I assume are special cases approved by Richard or Dick in accounting, but it applies to all new customers.

Seems to be the trend, lots of the live steams are now using ceramics, WPT, Poker Go Tour, EPT, PCA, Triton. All appear to be using some version of ceramics from what I've seen.

The writing is on the wall (or on the steps) ... It seems vendors are betting the future is in plastics/ceramics and not clay. Once can discern from Bellagio ordering hot stamp $1s (I can only assume it's due to prices), and most new clay chips, predominantly by U.S. casinos who still have legacy favoritism towards clay chips... now leaving much of the design to Dick&Harry at GPI/Paulson, who in turn are producing simple and ridiculously ugly chips across the board...again due to cost and no one really caring to put any effort in clay design/production...

as much as I love clay, if I owned a casino/card room, ceramics and clays plastics is what I would order as well. Cost, durability, cleanliness, and lots of other features...not to mention more than a dozen vendors vs 1 1/2 in the world of clay.

Thats such an accurate North American-centric stereotype lol.

"What's the largest continent on Earth?"


"I'm the third largest, and I do crossfit!"

This is exactly what @davislane predicted with the Kaizen effect following the Angel acquisition, to be fair.

I would, but Siri is not speaking to me right now. She got mad after I yelled at her for completely botching multiple talk to texts...
