Anyone have a couple of spare labels from ABC? Would ideally like to get one of the bounty labels but really any would do.
I have a US PO Box and will of course pay for the shipping. Thanks!

 

[Himewad]

Does anyone know if the Royals labels sold on Apache's web site are exactly the same as the labels that come on the pre-labeled chips? Same material, same size, same texture? Same question for labels purchased through ABC.

I would love to know this as well. I find the factory labels have a bit of texture to them and are quite thick, providing an excellent cover to any chip imperfections underneath, such as the mold release indents etc. Its a very high quality label IMO.

I ordered the 100k labels with the pre-order, i believe those came from the factory in China, however i ordered my 500k labels from Gene @ABC Gifts and Awards. Gene's labels feel more flexible.

 

[Himewad]

They look slightly smaller, too. Or do you think they were slightly misplaced?

misplaced I believe

 

[Himewad]

Looks like the texture is similar though. Just maybe a slightly thinner label material?

 

[Justin Olson]

yeah, I am really happy with the looks and feel.

Appreciate the responses. I am planning on a single non-standard denomination plus a bounty, so this makes me feel better about that.

 

[mummel]

Besides the label thickness, can you tell the difference?

Finally here!

Stacked 200 high!

Mad impressive 200 stack!!

Started a separate thread for these, but Royals pr0n is Royals pr0n. So I’ll leave this here.

Dang those are sick! Really like the accented colors over just the black labels.

 

[Himewad]

Once it’s on the chip I seriously doubt you can tell the difference. I assumed @Justin Olson meant that the ABC labels felt more flexible (i.e. thinner) as he was applying them to the chips.

 

[Marhault]

The abc labels are identical once on the chip. I don't know about thickness but you can't tell a difference at all once they're on the chips

Thinking about putting together a Royals tournament set (custom labels) but want to use what I already have.

Have:

100 x Pink (thankfully)
75 x Dark Blue
50 x Light Blue
25 x White

Was thinking:

25 (Green)
100 (Black)
500 (Pink)
1,000 (Orange or Yellow)
5,000 (Dark Blue)
25,000 (White)

Note sure I can use the light blues and pinks since they have the same edge spot design. Not sure how I feel about the dark blues as 5ks. Anyone want to give some input?

Given what you have and trying to maximize them, I think that your suggestion is spot on. Depending on how big a set, you probably won't ever need the 25k. I just used mine in a T10k tourney and with 8 starting and 6 rebuys and 7 add-ons, I still did not get the T25K on the felt. Might be better used as a bounty. Or get a barrel of yellow ( or orange if you go with yellow for the T1K ) for bounty.

This is my set currently...

In hindsight after you reminded me I need to swap the whites to 5K and the Dark Blues to 25K because they should be the 25k chips. That isn't an issue, will just cost me an extra 25 chips. I prefer yellow 1ks to orange 1ks but am not a fan of the yellow royals at all...

Thanks for the input!

 

[mummel]

The pinks and the blues create dirty stacks. I would use the blues as a $25k

 

[Himewad]

I went with a lineup of GREEN / DARK BLUE / YELLOW / ORANGE / PINK. I think the dark blue, orange and pink chips are the best ones in the set. My denoms are non-standard, but it works for our home games.

I'm going to use the white chips as bounties, and the black chips as seating chips.

 

[Zmasterben]

Really love these chips but have an unfortunate problem. All denoms fit well in the chipco 43mm racks except for the yellows which seem to be slightly thicker. Have 5 barrels, 1 fits in really tight and the other 4 only fit 19 chips.

Anyone else have this problem with the yellows?

 

[Himewad]

The Royals are definitely a snug fit in the chipco racks. Pretty much every color I have tried so far is snug, but they still fit. I have about 200 yellows to try out. I’ll let you know how mine fit in a couple days.

 

[Dodger]

Anyone else have this problem with the yellows?

Yep - my yellows are a tight fit as well, but 20 fit. Reds are snug, but not as tight as the yellows. All others are good.

 

[Zmasterben]

My yellows don't even come close to fitting 20 to a barrel (hard to get a good picture representation.) Everything else fits fine to just a little tight.

I can't even come close to squeezing them in. Or cramming them in. Or forcing them in. F*ck you out of context thread.

 

[Beakertwang]

@Zmasterben, I can't bring myself to quote that--no need to kick a man while he's down!

Oy! That’s no fun. Keep some out as a shuffle stack and they’ll gradually wear down. ...gradually...

I have media coaching. I try to get ahead of my own scandals

The yellows are definitely snug. I’m hoping that it is due to the chalkiness of the chips, giving it just a touch of extra barrel height. Some of the orange chips are snug, also, but not like the yellows. Greens and blues have no issues.

But I do feel a very slight difference in barrel height in some yellow barrels. Very slight, but it’s obviously making the difference.

Maybe instead of the Chipco racks ... https://www.apachepokerchips.com/product/chipco-43mm-poker-chip-rack/ I should go with the Bud Jones racks ... https://www.apachepokerchips.com/product/bud-jones-43mm-poker-chip-rack/. The Apache site even says on the Royals page that the Bud Jones racks are a better fit. Anyone know exactly how much bigger the Bud Jones racks are?

Also, do either of the chipco or bud jones racks fit in a birdcage? I know matsui racks do, but I would prefer open racks.

I don’t travel with my chips, so I don’t know the answer to this question

Chipco 39mm do. The only Bud Jones racks I have are the closed-box type, so I will not comment on them as I think you are talking about open racks.

Also, these are for Royals, so they would be 43mm racks
