I can’t believe the gall of all the people in the world who STOLE the design of the cardboard box. I mean, C’mon!
it’s a fricking chip rack for gods sake, and these matsui ones aren’t even used in casinos, I think they are used for production and initial shipping and PCF collectors seem to like them because they look good and keep the dust off of unused chippies.
in regards to these flunky WSOP ceramics... meh, I don’t think anyone really cares about these chips, anyone who does care ... doesn’t want the chips. Whoever made them is pretty much failing, in design and in business.
i would venture to say at this point, somebody has already taken a loss with these chips, they probably had a bunch of meetings, borrowed a bunch of money, telling people how BOoMing the poker chip home market was, and then printed a ton of crappy ceramics and have been storing them in a garage that’s probably got an eviction notice on it by now.
