Thanks @chipinla for these most excellent oval plaques!
And courtesy of thepokerstore.com comes these simple and elegant but very affordable hundo plaques:
Put them together and you've got the perfect complement to an everyone-gets-their-own-rack limit game!
Fun fact: I was toying with the idea of doing something like this, so I figured I'd see what kind of plaques might be available without having to spend an absolute fortune on a custom order. That very day I spotted @chipinla 's sale ad - he had $20 plaques (which are uncommon), from an actual casino (boat chips no less), and he had 35 of them - exactly what's needed for a seven-handed mixed game! It was kismet. Getting the cheap Chinese plaques in the right denomination and with a design I really liked was the icing on the cake.

Can't wait to get these in the air tomorrow. I can see why they are so highly regarded!
Nice mail day! From London to Maryland in 3 days!! DHL rocks. Well worth the added cost!

DHL FTW. Out of curiosity did you get ambushed with import fees? It’s the one thing I’ve never had with them. UPS kills me everything.

Really like those. Curious, are they like credit card size or larger?

Nice, thank you!
What's the story with these? Group buy from years ago?

Ya, I can’t recall who made the original order. I thought it was Jim back when the Empress chips became available. It wasn’t though. I had these since the original sale though.
Very interesting! Do you remember if they were MSK, ABC, or another vendor? These came out really nice.

Not very many mail days this year, but I was able to finish both of these racks (again)…. These might be my two favorite racks I own…

I believe Sunfly but I could always be mistaken.

Today's package completed the single table set for me. These chips are insane!
Looks like you could use a few more T25's and T100's in exchange for some T5K's....Today's package completed the single table set for me. These chips are insane!
@utgtrash @JMC9389
Yes, they are Sunfly.
Jim did produce them right around the same time as the original sale. It's gone now, but I found a thread on the old forum where he was asking for opinions on artwork and style. When asked, he said he may still have the artwork but doesn't know where it is. And that the casino still owns the graphics themselves, so it might be hard to get them made the same way again.
Still don't have a sense of how many are out there. I see the 1k's come up very rarely (and I have the biggest collection I've ever seen photos of), but the 5k's almost never show up. In the early days, someone split up a stack of 25 and sold them on eBay in lots of 2x or 5x. But beyond that, I saw one sale here from someone with about 10 5k's and other than that.... nada. White whales!

Could always have more made in a slightly different style, no? I could possibly be up for a rack of 5000s and a barrel of 25k's, haha

Awesome! Little heavy on the 500s for a single table, but I understand the want for a full rackToday's package completed the single table set for me. These chips are insane!
