Tangiers and the Quest for a Tina Hybrid Faux Inlay (5 Viewers)

[Cratty]

Texture still to be added to the mold... but.. early production example. Thanks @justincarothers !

 

[ThinkingFold]

Very cool.

I just checked the latest dealer button buy and do not see a Tangiers button. How are we supposed to have one on stand by for when the chips arrive?

[Cratty]

What is the inlay size diameter?

24mm, wanted to stick with the standard.

 

[Broski]

@Cratty ... eta of when we can start placing orders?

 

[Cratty]

Once I get the chips in hand and make sure color matches are accurate! Assume January earliest, but we'll see!

Seconded!

Very excited for the future. This sets a precedent for all other sets going forward

I know I know... I keep messing around with different button options (default being pretty obvious - standard white button).

That said, toying with idea of doing a dealer plaque in the next GB instead... first 10 min draft below. I recognize I'd probably have to buy 50x personally to meet MoQ. lol

Alt.. edit.. nah.

Love it! I'd definitely be down for one...

What about removing "Dealer" - that way they could be used as a NCV, dealer button, or whatever amount you want?

Alt.. may like this better. Know Tina has done Translucent prints before - might be able to do something with the white scallop bg.

Well, shiiiiit. I was on the fence between this and a few other Tina options, this Dealer button looks great and I’d want to get the full set. Selfishly I’d prefer the red so it’s more obvious and stands out as a button.

Awesome work @Cratty

 

[EverGreenGSO]

Love the Red!!

Or as a bounty if building a tourney set.

In terms of design on a plaque, you could use the alternate logo for some diversity:

or do something like pay homage to the building entrance like in this photo:

 

[inapinch]

A 3d printed sword or camel (as depicted in the graphic) would be another idea, of course with Dealer printed in it

 

[Cratty]

Yeah, like all the ideas - I'll keep toying around with different thoughts and just posting alternate variants until I lock in on one I like enough.

Another test..

Here’s the order plan when it’s go time, micro to small stakes Cash & T40k MTT:

100 x 0.05c
200 x 0.25
200 x $1’s
300 x $5’s
100 x $25s

200 x T100
80 x T500
160 x T1000
120 x T5000
20 x T25000
20 x Bounty - use the NCV

+Dealer Button

No pressure @Cratty

I just rewatched Casino for the first time in probably 25 years. It was without a doubt a great movie, but these chips are going to be like a million times cooler than the boring ones they used in the film.

Just spotted these Tangiers movie prop chips on eBay. Martin Scorsese missed out by not having @Cratty design the chips.

Indeed.

Those are horrible. ALL HAIL @Cratty

I'm guessing most of you posting that eBay link don't know about this listing and who made these replica chips on here:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...rate-to-the-casino-movie.117281/#post-2446815

The original chips were made on that plastic chip. Most of the time for a movie they don't spend time getting chips to look amazing, so that's what they wanted to use. I give props to @TheHun for taking the time to make these. They're not too bad. The original movie prop chips sell for absurd amounts of money.

Now that I will 100% believe. There are too many other things for the production companies to worry about that are FAR more important. Realistically, how many people outside of this demographic would even notice.

 

[DeadheadDave]

I prefer standard 65mm buttons, hoping some of them get worked in.

I know @Cratty said there wasn’t much to do with them…. But you could do the killer sword logo in different colors and background colors.

And (dark horse, but worth a try): perhaps work up one for the “Ace’s High” TV show… maybe one for the pawn shop ran by the psychopath. Maybe on the backs… I dunno. The “rum ham” chip from the always sunny in Philly set made me think of some of these “far out options”

 

[LeLe]

Once I get the chips in hand and make sure color matches are accurate! Assume January earliest, but we'll see!

My guess is March earliest unless u can get the samples and finalize them this week bcos there is Chinese New Year in late Jan and China close a few weeks around there.

I think he means we are hoping the group buy for Tangiers will start in January.

My wallet is not ready for this...

Same here. I "need" these chips, but my needs seem to be falling from 1200pcs to 600 pcs. pretty quick. lol.

I'm just taking the process slow as a service to all, so no one buys rash amounts. Lol
