Saw your mold on Alibaba...

She’s even using “Tina” now in the title of the chip sale

Well that was fast!

She's great! Knows exactly how to get us to find them so she can get orders

"Your honour, may I enter into evidence Exhibit A."

 

[TheOffalo]

Any examples of the final or near final proof? I did a quick skim of the thread and saw some from February. Are those gonna be the ones (not counting minor tweaks)?

If things get out of hand, she may need to be reminded...

Yeah, latest mockup below that will go into the group buy. Have been working a lot on getting color matches over the past couple months w/ a good amount of back and forth on inlay color test prints, chip color tests, spot color tweaks, and edge spot art changes... thanks again Justin for all the comms w/ Tina there..

For those reasons, don't have a final overall production run pictures with everything incorporated (Albeit could upload a half dozen stitched together images, ha), but have enough confidence to know we're about as close as we're going to get now with the chips/inlays (especially w/ run to run variation). If folks are concerned though about inlay color matching still because of print variation, round versions of the inlays will be available.

Definitely worth setting expectations that it's likely we won't see inlays color match perfectly, and some may look more off in a given run vs another. But hey, hopefully we do better than paulson factory faux inlay matchings (e.g. Horseshoe, Jack). Personally, and I'm likely my harshest critic, I'm still looking to order a good amount as what I've seen from the latest runs is good enough for me! Pretty damn excited frankly.

I’m surprised you didn’t make it a closed mold considering the amount of effort that has gone into the development process.

LOL Wasn't expecting you to reply, since you said you were waiting on @davislane to make his 10K post...

Need to get these over the goal line before I can think about chiptirement. ha.. but yes.. I'll get back to that. No one tell davislane I posted.

Believe the mold is closed to Justin (who funded the mold), they also show cap-dash chips as well on their site, but think it's just someone grabbing fun images/videos from production.

davislane is probably thinking, "Why are all these tossers tagging me?!"

It is a closed mold.

With the round inlays being available will that change the print size on the inlay at all? Also, does that mean we can mix and match the chips and label demons on this group buy? Thx

All the specifics will be in the thread coming soon but yes round labels can be swapped around. Shaped labels cannot

Anybody want to gamble on how big this group buy will be once @justincarothers finalizes it?

Staring o/u line 40k chips?

Easy over. I’d wager closer to 100k.

I’m pondering large tournie size, courtesy of @inca911

[dizzyChipper]

The line has moved to 100k.

I'm going to get them for tournament set.

 

[dizzyChipper]

Closest to the pin. No sniping.

 

[PixelatedPunk]

let’s take a guess 89k

 

[FedorOfSpades]

Thanks to Cratty, Justin, and everyone involved in making this a reality. So excited to hear that the GB will hopefully be around the corner!

 

[dizzyChipper]

let’s take a guess 89k

All guesses reply here. No edits.

111,000 chips.

Prolly should get confirmation from @justincarothers and/or @Cratty that they’ll release the numbers before this thread spirals down a blind rabbit hole. Just sayin’!

I will post the final count

 

[BirdCage]

165,000

 

[Cratty]

You all are going to make me unwatch my own thread, ha. That said, 30,000 would be my bet.
