Completed Tangier's Casino- Exclusive World Release (4 Viewers)

[panthershutch15]

wonder if any air shippers may be getting them prior to the deadline of the current June group buy? I've narrowed down my color choices to only a few, one of those being some of the tangier's colors...would love to see some actual stacks before if possible.

These are the final run. Everything turned out well except the nickel. She is going to ship them as is and work on trying to get replacements labels though there is no guarantee. Overall very pleased. Thanks to @Cratty for all the time and effort.

Are all the chips with round labels also finished already ?

Was this picture from the first post not real? Of course I see the word "Mockup" but I could have sworn it was a real photo with previous samples. The difference in the nickels is stunning.

That photo is real, but some of the colors and spots were adjusted to latest design-intent. The only actual changes I made in the mockup were:

• 100k adjusted to 8V spot vs 814
• Red darkened chip vs initial run to match inlay better
• Purple chip darkened vs initial run to match inlay better
• Black "peach spot" lightened
• Orange inlay lightened 10% vs original file

All of the above seem to have carried through fine to the latest run as expected.. The nickel had no editing in that photo though.. that's just the variation we saw from the label printer in this production run.

Variation... trying to match colors with a moving target. Impossible task. Thanks for all the work you put into attempting the impossible. I still love the results. The nickels will forever serve as a warning to all those who venture down this path.

are there any other variations of the stacks pic? I'm most interested in the white/purple (which are in the back), and the pink (not pictured)

Not with all the latest changes/run, no - will need to wait for this batch to arrive. I have single samples only of the latest colors used (confirmatory samples), not entire stacks. I do have a stack of whites, but no change vs the photo on those edges.

Also worth noting that pictures across the different materials can also look very different vs real life. Clearly not going to fix the 5c.. but some of the others may also look more or less in-line in person too (I'm expecting the 500 for instance to look better in-hand, but lets see). But overall the others look relatively close enough IMO!

How disappointing would you say the nickel is in person? Does it look as bad in person as the picture makes it out to be?

That's a photo from the manufacturer in China, do not have those in hand.

 

[PixelatedPunk]

That's a bummer on the nickel chips, hopefully they look better in person. The rest look amazing, thanks to the both of you for all your hard work!

 

[ozzie22]

The new red color match on the $5 is spot on.

 

[FlyEaglesFly]

They still look great, regardless of the 5c issue. Cant wait until they finally arrive

Did the blue have editing too? Looks like that came out as different as the gray nickel

Sent a note to Tina, they used an older color/file for a couple including that one. Hoping to have corrected to the latest.

Forgot what I ordered, went back to my original post and saw no grey or dark blue …

Since they used the wrong file, is this something they will be able to correct before sending out?

They will be using the correct file for the chips and the labels. The only one really off is the nickel. And that is using the same file as it always has, the labels are just darker than the last run which is the problem when trying to color match. She is going to reprint the nickel labels next time she runs and hopefully those with nickels can get new labels that match better

When you say next time she runs, do you mean for this order? Were the pictures shown just the first print to see how they turned out, or have all the nickels been printed already?

As I said, all labels have been printed. If she can get a grey label closer to the chip she will send them to me in the future and I will send them out to those who have nickels

Based on historical trends, I am guessing late July early August for these. Still got some time left to row that boat.

The ports are so empty that this may be able to come sooner. Like a week, not a month but still sooner

I keep anxiously checking the thread whenever I get the notification thinking they are gonna be here a month early out of naive excitement

The group buy that closed April 2 arrived to Justin May 30, so 58 days. If that happened with the Tangiers buy the date would be 6/27. Not saying that will happen but that would be the same timeline as the April 2 Gb.

Couldn’t be more excited, went from a crappy premade set from Facebook marketplace to these chips and I’m about to buy and build an Apache 3800 case

Don't forget Justin Racks, Broken Arrow Pro Series Bridge Sized Plastic Cards, Tangiers Dealer buttons and Cut cards.

 

[FedorOfSpades]

Where would we be without Justin and Cratty

Wish I found the forum earlier. Bought 3 sets (6 decks) of Copag cards and they all smell horrible, so the cards are definitely on my list to purchase in the future but I’m getting married in August, so tight on funds currently
