8V Custom Chips (1 Viewer)

[TexRex]

Here some pictures of my custom cash set from Joe at www.palmimports.com. They are the 8V China clays with custom labels printed and put on by Palm Gaming. The chips arrived several days ahead of schedule.

Art work provided by Ken at http://pokerchipartist.com/.

Both of them did a better job than I did taking the pictures.

I ordered 700:

Gray 1¢ -- 105
Red 5¢ -- 105
Green 25¢ -- 105
Black $1 – 125
Purple $5 – 125
Yellow $20 – 85
White $100 -- 50

Very cool!

Nice set you have there. Those dealer buttons compliment the set well

 

[TexRex]

Thank you! I'm going to get some custom tournament chips, but it will be a few months.

 

[SeanGecko]

Nice set. By the way Gene at abc is having a blowout on these chips if you need more.

Khoi, in Little Elm -- about 15 or so miles from you.

 

[TexRex]

And yes, quite the thread resurrection!

@TexRex, are you still playing the 8v's? If so, how are they holding up?

 

[TexRex]

Beaker, honestly I think they've been used twice, and both times for short periods. I bought these cash chips thinking I'd get a small cash game going, but all I've managed to succeed in is getting tournaments going. I play almost exclusively tournaments. The two times they were used, a group of players out of a tournament I was still in used my chips for a cash game.

@Beakertwang ask @KhoiFish82 about his chips

Why did you go with that design btw?

The label design?

 

[dmalhi1]

The label design?

yessir!

 

[SeanGecko]

It is a beauty of a design.

 

[KhoiFish82]

yessir!

Oh! Well my wife is a graphic designer so she designed it for me. I asked her for a simple and clean design and this is what she came up with. Additionally my name is Khoi so I felt calling my room the Khoi Pond would be a great pun for a poker room. I think what I liked most was the subtle border she added, almost looks like the color of the chip bleeds onto the inlay. Small details make a huge difference I feel.

@SeanGecko thanks for the kind words!

Haha no...and actually the proper spelling is actually Koi Pond.

Would your wife help me with my mess of a design lol? The small details are massively important as you said and I suck at art and design. I just don't have the brain for it.
