Chip swap out at WSOP ME final table? (1 Viewer)

Am I the only one that doesn't *hate* them?

Hmph... Not making replicas of these, not worth it, even with 43mm and 47mm.

 

[upNdown]

You could be.

Sir. With all due respect, when was your last trip to the optometrist?

I didn't say they were my favorite. I like the WSOP on the side paint.

All hideousness aside, what is the value on the green(?) chips?

Did we ever take a vote on the "side paint" word?

 

[WedgeRock]

And not worthy to make the replica of it.

That may have been the goal...

What's there to vote on? Merely thinking of these words sends me into angry fits in the same way most of you react to these WSOP chips.

What the hell is dOSM?

Dunno, but I think W50P is an anacronym for "worth fifty pence"

I feel like somebody had some perfectly good solid chips, then came along and tagged them like cattle or birds or dolphins.

Based on sound, razor sharp edges, and crisp angles on the insert, my $.02 would be on a complexly (plastic?clay?) molded edge spot pressed into a clay chip.

But if they were pressed into the chip there would have to be at least some lack of uniformity/distortion with the WSOP on the side paint. I guess GPI is capable of a lot more than we know.

How would they lathe the chips with plastic edge spots in there?
It's a mystery.

 

[ekricket]

Perhaps the RFID chip is in the spots, and they are made in a different manner than the usual punch out. That might account for the uniformity of them as well as the ability to add wording.

I'd bet it's a plastic ring/insert that the clay is formed around. The uniformity of the edge spot is because it is a "key" that locks the clay and plastic together.

You'd be able to lathe the plastic with no issue - after all, you can lathe metal.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I kind of dig this new rolling edge option.

I think I saw one of the chips with what appeared to be the "edge label" coming off, like just one of the green edge spots was peeling off of the yellow.
