Just got my sample set from @David O today. Gorgeous!

 

[Puggy]

It looks like the only one still waiting is @Puggy. Let me know when you receive it. I am hoping that they are not being held in a Turkish Prison!!!

Thanks @David O . Will do so

Does anyone have any pictures of the Charcoal and the black together? I was considering the charcoal in the Add-on but now I'm unsure.

I'm likely not too far from you with a sample set. PM sent.

nice!
is it just me or do your hundreds look like brown?

 

[Ghoti]

They look brown to me as well.

 

[Lars]

Got my samples as well. They look great! Nice job and thanks David!

They are charcoal, but the lighting over my table is pretty dim right now...you can tell the color in person, the phone camera is not capturing it correctly

 

[ohama]

I have some more pics as well.
Don't expect to much, these where all taken with my iphone


some close-up's:

DG green

Black

DG peacock

DG yellow

DG tiger

Retro Red (here they tend to go a bit into the dark pink direction, but they are more like a darker, rich red)

And some comparison untouched (left) and oiled (right):

DG green

Black

DG peacock

DG yellow

DG tiger

Retro Red (top one on left barrel also oiled)

Retro Lavender

and all together with only the right chip of every barrels oiled (pic is a bit dark but think you can see it anyway)

So far I can say they all profit great from oiling, especially the retro's. Though the yellow has the least benefit.
I had the chips in play for one night. Only oiled one chip of each denom for testing (last picture) and accidently the yellow got lost within the others. after the game I tried to find it but there were already a lot chips that lost all their dust and it was impossible to find the one chip.
With the other denoms it was still possible to see the difference although not as clear as before the first game night.
So I guess after a couple of games the chips will probably look very similar to the oiled ones.


cheers

Finally somebody that has yellow 1000s and DG 5000s like me! (y) :thumbsup:

 

[chase]

Do you all recommend oiling these? Assuming just the edges and with what?

Thanks!

Why is the spacing so wonky on the T100 stamp?

 

[mike32]

Why is the spacing so wonky on the T100 stamp?

It is the same on the 1000 as well, I think it is because 1 is a thin digit!

 

[BGinGA]

I don't think that qualifies as a legitimate reason. Here are eight examples on seven different molds from five different companies:

It appears that this is a design flaw in the artwork. Very surprised this wasn't addressed prior to the hot-stamp dies being made.

 

[mike32]

I could certainly get past the flaw, but I see your point.

 

[Mathieu]

Is anyone worried about the yellow getting dirty? Just wondering because I am debating between the Purple or yellow for a t5000 chip.

First I've noticed it, and I'm sure the same goes for everyone else, otherwise I'm sure someone would have said - the original thread had a good number of views, from those participating and those not. I'm quite fussy about quality etc (I've maybe a dozen spinners in a set of 800 that have been weeded out) but I would consider this very minor, and not an issue for me.

That said, I hope you aren't going to say you noticed this before they went into production....

I got bright white T5k, I don't think I play enough games or that in those games the chips will see enough game time/action to give me any concerns.

There are lots of other bright colours out there you could worry about too in this respect, but then we'd all have really dull chipsets!

 

[BGinGA]

No, I was not involved with the initial stages of the group buy, including the name selection or stamp design. I certainly would have brought it up had I seen it at that time, even if not ordering a set. Just surprised that nobody else noticed it prior to production. It's a pretty glaring error imo.

Oh yes. Got them today....slow post office, Christmas time. Thank you David

 

[theewpice]

Sorry I'm a little late to the party here. I wanted to post these pictures of my CPC Atlantic club set but things of been quite busy since I receive them. I decided to go with some different colors as I prefered the retro blue over the black or charcoal for a T100 & I prefer the retro lavender as the T500 thus allowing the dayglo peacock to be the T5000. I'm extremely happy with the way these turned out! So thanks once again to David O, David Spragg & CPC, & everyone involved in making this happen! Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[Ghoti]

Damn! Well done, theewpice. Those look fantastic.

 

[theewpice]

Thank you Ghoti! Yes, I'm very pleased w/ the outcome on these chips. The colors really look great & I plan on putting some oil on the edges to really brighten them up! I trust yours are equally amazing!

 

[jemfernandez]

Finally got my chips today! They've come a long way and they're stunning!

I did have some slightly wobbly stacks in two barrels of the DG Tiger T1k. Did anyone else have anything similar?

I know what you are referring to and can explain in some detail what this is.

In my T1000 and up, I noticed that there was a bit more of the foil protruding above the chip surface than with other denominations. This will cause wobbling and some spinners.

HOWEVER!!!
There is some good news.

I took 10 of my chips with this issue and shuffled them about a couple hundred times and what I found was that the excess foil actually wears away and the surface begins to smooth out. This greatly decreases the wobble and eliminates the spinners almost entirely if not entirely.

David could probably confirm my hypothesis that this is what happens when you "break them in".

Or you can just gently scrape them with the back side of an X-acto knife to remove the excess foil. Quicker, but probably not nearly as much fun as shuffling them a couple hundred times.
