What events are those?

Straight Flush
Best discussed in a PM with some one who is better informed than I am.
You're dead wrong on this one -- that decision is not up to Sal/OWPS. It is extremely unlikely that using the GCOP artwork ever gets authorized for hybrids or ceramics beyond what has already been approved.
Yah.. after I reflected on this earlier it made sense why OWPS only sells the high denominations. They're denied from doing replica low ones.
Actual Paulson colors, for those interested:
T5 - Royal Red with BahamBlue and Mustard
T25 - Lime Green with Orchid and Grape
T100 - Grey with Russet and Sea Green
T500 - Blurple with Apricot and Aqua
T1000 - Arc Yellow with Moss Green and Red
T5000 - Fuchsia with Off White and Radiant Red
T25000 - Indian Blue with Carrot and Mint Green
Potential add-on chips:
Russet .05
Almond .25
Day Blue 1
(Royal Red 5)
Canary Yellow 20
(Grey 100)

Hi all

as for the labels? Has anyone asked a manufacturer if they are willing to do a tribute chip? Cause if u dont ask the answer is no. if you do the answer might be yes.
as for the controversy look at this http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/poker-player-counterfeited-chips-5-years-article-1.2408395

well i think i have the answer
some china companies don't seem to have any issues with counterfeiting chips.

the cc manufacturer does the labels
If one were to spend the time to find them, there are many Chinese vendors who do not care about copyright or trademark issues or the possibility of litigation. However, that doesn't mean we can use them in a GB. As a side note, I wonder if any individual has experimented with these vendors.
I paged through Alibaba about a year back but I remember it was just reseller after reseller. Its hard to find out who the genuine manufacturer is.
Yes. There was a low-minimum quantity (3000 chips, I think) semi-custom set made for a private CT member on the coffee & biscuit mold (a MrEU design). He paid a hefty premium to get such a low number of chips produced, but it sparked considerable interest in the community.
It all eventually led to the BLGOP group buy (featuring the first tower & spear mold) with that vendor, with a minimum order requirement of 30,000 chips. Custom molds were created, prototype chips were produced, and orders for a whopping 300,000+ chips were taken. Everything was rolling along like gangbusters, including the design of matching specialty items like dealer buttons, seating chips, bounty chips, etc.
When the vendor balked during the prototype phase on their earlier promises regarding color-matching, the effort was eventually disbanded....and was later resurrected as the CPS buy with slightly different artwork (and using PGI's vendor in China).

I would like to point out, those Alibaba vendors use stock photos of genuine chips to sell cheaply made chips. Don't be fooled.
Regarding names that aren't WSOP, I like "World Champion of Poker" as it has a strong historical connection to the beginning of the WSOP as a title awarded to the first main event winner.
"The idea of a World Series of Poker began in 1969 with an event called the Texas Gambling Reunion.[citation needed] It was an invitational event sponsored by Tom Moore of San Antonio, Texas, and held at the Holiday Hotel and Casino in Reno.[citation needed] This inaugural event was won by Crandell Addington. The set of tournaments that the World Series of Poker (WSOP) would evolve into was the brainchild of Las Vegas casino owner and poker player Benny Binion. In 1970, the first WSOP at Binion's Horseshoe took place as a series of cash games that included five-card stud, deuce to seven low-ball draw, razz, seven-card stud, and Texas hold 'em.[citation needed] The format for the Main Event as a freeze-out Texas hold 'em game came the next year. The winner in 1970, Johnny Moss, was elected by his peers as the first "World Champion of Poker" and received a silver cup as a prize."

And they would've got away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!
Just for fun, we should add the $1 million 50mm main event chips (y) :thumbsup:
Any progress on this project? does anyone want to take a crack at finishing the artwork and the set?
Also, if the experienced higher-ups think projects such as these are DOA, they should chime in as it is likely to nudge the masses to perhaps pursue their own projects individually.
My understanding now is that this is likely a dead project and we should all move on.
I am reading between the lines, but that's just a part of it. There are many issues with GBs currently, mostly related to the two recently cancelled ones, and I believe it is likely to have an impact on this one as well. No one is going to take any risk with such projects. My guess is that none of these projects will happen in 2017 and we will have to wait and see how and when the dust settles. Unless some people start working on a completely new and original set, we will have to go back to our old hobby and be content with our obsessions over over-priced Paulsons and or start our own small individual custom sets. At least this is my read.

It's a tribute of a live casino chip used in non-holdem WSOP events. Not sure that's going to fly around here anytime soon.
Might be feasible since the Horseshoes were rebranded Jack.
darn.
Probably the best course of action. A completely new design is likely to garner more support and be feasible for GB operators and or vendors to handle.
Everyone liked the WSOP edge spots right? Why not do a chip set using the same design and we just pick and choose our own colors? I think its cheaper to manufacture if the edge spots remain the same across denoms right?

The reason tribute sets work so well in GBs is because we can all relate to them. Once you start meddling around with different colors interest drops off considerably. The same thing goes with label designs. If you try to allow everyone to chime in on a design, nothing gets done. Too many cooks and all that.
The best way to get a new set of chips done is for a vendor to make the chip/label decisions and just have the chips made. They can show them here first to make sure there is interest (i.e. guaranteed sales). They usually offer them here for cheaper than they will eventually sell them for on the open market.
If you really want an idea made, go custom.
Finally...
The cost of the canvas that the Mona Lisa was painted on was just a few coins. What was applied to that canvas made it priceless.
Justified.
Also, labels are only 30 cents per chip

Rats! Ttttubby's design is so juicy. Wish there was a way to make this chip happen. Have bugged Tommy, CPC, and others via PM (sorry to pester gang).
