Interest Cards Mold Group Buy - INTEREST ONLY (7 Viewers)

[Eloe2000]

1) My understanding is that there are 3 different styles: card mold, diamond and no mold. The non molded chips seem to have a cross-hatch texture, the rest are smooth. Do I have this right?
If so, how slippery/stackable are the CMs vs the non molded chips?

Correct. The plain mold 39mm chips are non-textured only. 43mm are available in textured or non textured. I would personally prefer the textured but they are honestly very difficult to tell the difference by the naked eye or even by feel.

2) Every chip I've seen that's been a part of these GBs utilize a design that mimics that of a clay chip (edge spots, space for an inlay, etc.). Is this type of design a requirement? Or could I create a design that doesn't follow this pattern (like the Valentino chips)?

A lot of people are drawn to these chips who otherwise like Paulsons or other traditional clay chips. The draw to the cards mold is that they black chips themselves look like molded clay chips.

Also, this manufacturer is willing to align the edges to the faces which makes these clay style chips possible whereas other ceramics maker are unwilling to do this.

That being said you can absolutely design them anyway you want with any CMYK printable image

3) Could words be printed on the edges?

Yes, but they would be small but legible. Someone just posted some bounty chips with words on the side.

4) Has a deadline to commit been established? If so when it is?

I don’t know if another public group buy has officially launched. I don’t think one has formalized from this thread yet. A lot of smaller group buys have launched publicly and privately since the max benefit is achieved. They are a hell of a lot of work and people would just need to step up to make them happen.

EDIT: It looks like this group is formalizing but I don’t have a sense of deadlines. Someone else can speak to that.

5) When is the artwork due?

If you want to make a set I would suggest you get the artwork done and then find a GB.

6) Are there any quantity limitations? I understand that they need to be ordered in increments of 25 - but other than that is there anything I should be aware of... i.e. is there a limit on the number of unique designs?

Thanks in advance.

They do not need to be ordered in increments of 25, just minimum of 25 per denom. You can’t order 23, but you could order 27 of a specific denom.

I think this is only true with Tina. With Anita I remember having to be multiples of 25 for shipping purposes

First GB that was true with Tina, but for GB 5 and subsequent it's been 25 increments with her too.

Huh, I just placed an order in April and it was still true. Looks like they keep tightening up the belt.

My bad, sorry

 

[Chipandchair]

Would like to order 1950 cards mold chips. Will have art very soon.
I guess I prefer Tina because those are the only cards mold chips I have handled.
USA address and reshipping preferred.

 

[chutracheese]

Aurora Star tribute set art is available if anyone wants to use it the next time around.
This is for 43mm. 39mm art exists, but I don't have it.

Hey @chutracheese, can you post a comparison picture between a Paulson blaze orange chip and your 5000 chip? The same request goes for anyone else that has received chips from Tina that are somewhat close in color to Blaze Orange. Thanks.

Here is my orange chip. It's not blaze, but I like it. Are either of these other oranges blaze?

 

[Jake14mw]

Thanks, my interest was in recreating the WSOP 5000 chip. The color looks very different in different pictures. All of the oranges coming from Tina look good, so I'll be happy I'm sure.

The orange on the Taj $5 is Arc yellow. The starburst might be Blaze or Pumpkin. The orange on the Taj $1 is Blaze.

 

[Rjchango]

Is it possible to do a Rounders set in this chip, similar to the CPC ones (but in ceramic)? If it is, would anyone know where to get the artwork

 

[CRAW]

I’m kicking this idea around too (Rounders).

 

[QuailValley]

I’m currently working on an Aurora Star Cash set tribute. Will likely have one Aurora star generic version, and something slightly different.

Thanks for the confirmation. I suspected that Taj edge spot was arc yellow.

Just to clarify, you can do pretty much any design you want, but you need to source your own artwork. If you're looking for someone on the site, @timinater , @Quicksilver-75 , @p5woody , and @JeepologyOffroad all do art.

 

[DonkeyKing]

Following... Might piggy back for 500 cash set if I like the available designs. Will there be a consolidated mockup choices like the DB group buy?

Thanks!

There are also plenty of designers who can help with any further customization

 

[Legend5555]

I'd be in for 600 of @Kid_Eastwood 's WSOP Paulson Secondaries tribute if that's possible. Could def use a new tourney set.

I’m interested in a set of these. At least 1k chips

 

[Rogue_Chipper]

In for 500, those Aurora Star tributes are too sexy to pass up

While appreciate the shout out, I’m not doing any design work at the moment. I’m in the middle of a huge life change and my design computer is currently packed while I move.

Oooof, sorry man, hope everything works out

I thought p5woody stopped too.

I would be interested in this too, probably in a future buy.
