Haha, I was just gonna say it makes me regret flipping a 5-1K sample set a few years back, but it turns out it was to you!

I don't recall. I seem to remember I paid out the nose for a 1 and 5k, and then some time later decided that I wasn't a singles/sample collector and sold off most of all the samples I had. #regerts

I bought a Peach 25,000. It's almost Uncirculated.
You must’ve spent over 20k on these!!! Holy hell!!

Not sure if it helps the sting at all but at least I cherish them and give them the respect they deserve.

It sure would've been nice if they could've found another use for that peach chip because it's certainly nice. Maybe they could have replaced the almond $250,000.

WSOP picture holder....
So I have seen this mark on multiple pics of the 25k that have been posted. Anyone know if it had a purpose or is it just a mold imperfection?

They're in the manufacturer sample I have and posted here:

The only thing I can think is an alignment mark of some sort. The spots are not clay like the rest of the chip so I'm imagining there's some machine vision system or something that looks for that mark as part of the process of placing the inserts.
I don't know for sure, but it's the only thing I can come up with.
I think that's a pretty plausible theory. I am also assuming that the edge spot inserts are done after the main chip is already produced, given that they are a different material than the main chip body.

Another question. Has anyone noticed that the Apricot T100,000 has a yellowish inlay? Thoughts as to whether something happened to these or if that was intended design? I’ve noticed that on pics of this chip from several sources so it seems to be more than 1 chip.

UV security inlay?
I think it is just the underlying chip color bleeding through a little bit from under the label. I’ve noticed it is most prominent on the orange 5ks. Maybe has something to do with those colors or pigments in the clay or something?

Strange it would bleed through on the Apricot base chip but not the brighter peach base chip.
Just a theory, maybe something happened during the press or maybe it was just a different colored inlay base paper to begin with to match the chip. The 5k 1/4 pie has a blue colored inlay background and the 25k 1/4 is black

I would assume it was a choice. The 2018 V2 secondary chips all had colored inlays that were terrible color matching.
I don't think they were trying to colour match the inlays to the V2's. If you look carefully, those inlays are colour matched to the V1's. Wasn't the rumor that when the WSOP got tipped off about the Empress Star tourney set, GPI rushed to get new chips out and didn't have time to (or didn't care to) match the inlays to the V2's?

This explanation is possible but they are certainly new colored inlays from the V1s. Just got this in today for a color match.
Why do new colored inlays but not match them to the V2? Although I agree the explanation was because of a rush job but not sure they are matched to the V1s. I really don’t know what they were thinking.
Edit: I should add I liked your theory a lot and was waiting for the 25K V2 to arrive to see if you were on to something. This wasn't/isn't me arguing with you, I thought you were probably right.

It could potentially still be color matched (to the original) in the production file that was used.
The V2s were made years after the V1s, possibly with different inlay material and on different printing equipment. A lot of variables that could make the exact same color selection come out with some variation from the original when printed.
No slight taken at all. Though it's not my theory... I just can't remember which thread I got it from. I think it was the guy who started the Chip Donkeys site that speculated he wouldn't be surprised if there were serious repercussions from the reveal of the Empress Stars tourney set... and then the V2's were released. Then another thread mentioned how ugly the V2's were and their mismatched inlays, and someone mentioned the inlays were most likely from the existing V1's because there wasn't time to get approval for new inlays. By changing the chip base colours and spots only, that would fast track the approval process required by the Gaming Control Board of Nevada. I guess we'll never really know.
I was going to say the same thing as I certainly experienced this with my CPC addon order arriving 4 years after the initial order. David from CPC warned me before they were made though, so I wasn't caught off guard.
