Big Top Joker (1 Viewer)

[ImCrossland]

After spending countless hours on the CPC design tool over the last few months trying to come up with what I thought was the perfect design for such an incredible inlay, I finally found it. Using some of my favorite chips as inspiration, I put together a set that makes me smile every time I look at it.

My excitement compels me to share a mock-up of it well before they've even been delivered.

I lost sleep trying to strike the balance between circus and sensical but I think I found it. Special thanks to @Toby for all the effort and kindness he's extended to me over the last few months. The design is his and his alone. @Eloe2000 and @JeepologyOffroad , you guys pushed me to the brink. You didn't know it but your incredible talents inspired me to invest the time and energy into striking the perfect balance, if there is such a thing with a set inspired by a clown and a circus. You made me passionate about design and for that I thank you.

I knew my work was finished once I could ask myself "Do you give a shit if people think it looks stupid?" and answer, "No."

That frac is going to be a beast. Congrats dude. These are just perfect for you.

I love the use of 618 on the dollar too. Unique and super cool. And trimoon… I love 3 color trimoon. Spicy set from start to finish

 

[raynmanas]

ha, love them. you have a perfect opportunity for some subtle color matching with the tent stripes.

 

[liftapint]

These are fantastic! congrats.

Is the inlay the same on both sides?

 

[ImCrossland]

These are fantastic! congrats.

Is the inlay the same on both sides?

Yep. As ridiculous as the chips themselves are, I prefer a pretty “minimal” inlay (in comparison).

Although your chips did make me think about it for some time.

 

[Hephestia]

When is the group buy!?

 

[davislane]

what mold are you going to run these on? B mold? Something else?

 

[GianThaMan]

Stop putting these things on the A-mold.

 

[LeGold]

Yeah, should at least use B here!

 

[PhillyPoker]

What's wrong with the a mold?

Would love to use DSQ or HHR if it were running soon but they are not /:

Still, just about anything beats A-mold. Especially A-mold with a 7/8 inch inlay. Just looks wrong.

 

[Ocharacato]

Wow!!!!!! They really look amazing! Great job!!!!

At least I will have the DB….

 

[davislane]

pegasus would have been so much better IMO on HHR. given that these will most likely last you a life time id reccomend you wait for your prefered mold

 

[Colquhoun]

Isn't this the perfect match for the Elephant and Crown mold?

Beautiful chips whatever you choose.

 

[jpietrella]

I swear to God I thought this was a thread to needle me. Thank God it's actually just filled with awesomeness.

 

[Thisfiendis138]

Wow. Love this!
Top tier from start to finish! But that Frac is a banger AF!
Sample sets?

patience is a virtue

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Wait for your mold @ImCrossland it will be worth it. I thought dsq was soon?

i second this

 

[JMC9389]

It is, but the order cutoff passed for this run, I think. I needed my artwork in a month ago.

 

[ImCrossland]

Okay, next pic will be the real thing!

 

[chipinla]

Please hold out for B mold or E&C… maybe someone should start a poll on your behalf ha

 

[chipinla]

A mold is about 3-4 months usually right? When I ordered my B mold in October I was told 9-12 months so that could be just a bit longer than that. I have to imagine E&C will be before that as well.

 

[harrysallout]

Gotta get my hands on a sample set. My son and I just love the Joker. Congrats!

 

[ImCrossland]

… The price is incredibly steep but David confirmed I could be added to the current DSQ run if I were willing to pay the added fee. The anti-A Mold folks can rejoice.

I also paid a steep fee for a change with my set at the 11th hour. Worth it.

 

[PhillyPoker]

Depends on how steep, doesn't it?
