Anybody know anywhere else to buy some 43mm blank royals? Apache is not restocking them!
Apache no more blanks :( (1 Viewer)

Here. They occasionally show up in the classifieds. I sold mine here cheap. Post a wanted ad.
If unsuccessful, consider buying the labeled ones and removing labels. I did that with the first run of pinks when the blanks sold out and weren’t going to be restocked for months.

I think OP wants unlabeled Royal chips, not ceramic blanks. (Unless BR Pro also stocks Royals. Not being sarcastic, I don't know for sure...)

Oh I thought he wanted ceramic flattening blanks
I think the bottom has fallen out of the traditional China Clay market now that 100% customizable ceramic chips are available at roughly the same price point. Maybe CC will come to mean China Ceramic in due time.

Yea maybe, just something about the 43mm I love how it feels
How did you get them off? Any chemicals?
Nice what was your method for removing labels?
The labels on China clays are just stickers. An Exacto knife will work well to get under the edge and peel them off.

^^^ This. Exacto knife catching just enough to lift the label without gouging the chip itself too badly. Any remaining adhesive can just be rubbed off/balled up with your thumb.

I removed labels from 300 blue Royals. Used an #11 blade X-acto knife. I circled where I made gouges to get under the label. They are pretty small and I hope the labels will cover them up. I’m about 1.5 months in @Gear waitlist
Stack of removed labels to the left. I think that might by 100 of them.

How long did it take you to remove those 300? I may be ordering a set soon of at least 600.
Also, do you know how long the waitlist is?
I turned on a show and I was done in no time. Took me 2-3 hours if I had to ball park it.
I’m on Gear waitlist also. It’s about 3-4 months, but I keep hearing it’s worth the wait!

That stack of 25Ks is freaking me out. It hurts my CDO.

You say the part about gouging the chip as if it is a source of pride.... haha
Honestly, if you are just a little more careful you should be able to remove said stickers without damaging the chips at all.

yeah, I gave up on being careful after about 50. I thought, “The label will cover all” .
I just put some blank Royals up for sale https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/blank-apache-royals.101685/
