I know they won't be most people's cup of tea (black inlays, oversized inlays, busy edge spot for 25c), but I like them. My crew are micro stakes so wanted the 25c and $1 chips to be designs I loved as they would be used the most.

And also hard to see in the proof, but the black inlay has like a European scroll (FDL like) in the black area which is on theme with my table and the FDL mold.

I think they look stunning! Especially like the frac, $1 and $25. But why not go with actual shaped inlays?

Good question. Cost was a big factor (yes, already expensive but bang for extra buck was the consideration). And I was using Jack Cinci and Paradise Los Angeles sets for inspiration which took the faux shaped approach and I just stayed with it...prob made the decision early on in the process and never revisited it...

 

[Eriks]

I hear you, it’s expensive as it is. They will be great with faux shaped! Love the idea of making the work horse chips extra nice

 

[Poker Zombie]

+1 for making the workhorse chips the best chips.

Rack of A-Mold commemorative chips for my first meetup in October. Got proofs last week. Can’t wait to get these and see how the color matching worked out - J5 is the best.

A little tweaking obviously after these suggested by JimB.

I was just thinking of how cool it would be to replace paper money with chips. I like these.

 

[SteveEH]

These should be coming soon as I got the art in a day or 2 before the cut off in late February.

 

[SteveEH]

These are from 2011. I don't think I received a mockup from ASM, and I didn't ask John for another after I changed the mold and colors.

looks great to me! Also focusing on making workhorse chips the best in my design. But with a new poker group, haven't figured out what those are you.
Curious how microstakes work incorporating the 5c denom. Is that 5c/10c blinds?

 

[Nex]

With a 5c chip as your lowest, you can do 5c/5c, 5c/10c and any larger blinds. Depends on your preference. Making the BB the same as the SB does change the game a bit as it encourages the SB to play more hands because he doesn't have to put in any more money to see the flop if noone raises.

Yeah, I'm targetting 5c/10c or 10c/25c stakes for my game. Keeps the swings manageable for my crew.

Got my proofs this morning. They’re an add on to a set I already received in 2005 — almost two decades ago. Can’t wait to get them and compare the new CPCs with my old ASMs.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I can see the DieCar mold. I think mine will follow soon then.

Wait...is DIECAR going in after FDL? I didn't know it was running again. And then MD-50 (DSQ) after that?

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I saw @JFG just posting a DieCar proof.
Few days ago it was also requested to confirm my stamp foil color.

CPC has at least two presses, so they might be running on different machines.

I ordered my chips about two months ago, and at the time David at CPC gave me a five month estimate. This makes me think DieCard is running in May / June.

I think one of the two presses is always the A-mold, no?

The last estimate I heard was that DSQ was going to start in June but I heard that second hand

I think there's 3 (or at least 3 moulds can run simultaneously). Here David talks about two moulds and their successors:

DSQ and 44mm are in right now and will be for a good while.
44mm will probably be the first of those out, replaced by FDL.
Elephant & Crown will replace DSQ (only a small run) and then the Small & Large crowns.

Later in the thread he confirms that A mould is always installed:

It's always installed, not always running though, that would be physically impossible.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Estimate I received for my set was also around June.

I’ve decided to go with cards mold for my Indiana Jones inspired set. 3 CPC sets in 10 months so it’s hard to justify a 4th quite so soon ha.

Good call. Actually didn’t think about that
