Flush
So way back in the day when most of you all were still thinking poker was that thing near the fireplace to stir the embers and slugged dice chips were but a dream, there was this moment where Atlantic Standard Molding decided to see if we the great unwashed could handle some semi-custom chips. For years you could get your own inlay on an edge spotted chip, as long as the edge spot pattern was 312. We begged and pleaded with ASM to let us have some of those really cool spot patterns like we saw in "That Movie". "No" was the answer for years until the Grand Poobah (Jim they called him) in his infinite wisdom said "let's see if these mere mortals can handle something else". Thus it was that a group of enthusiasts whe belonged to the Site Before PCF were allowed to choose a set of spotted chips that one could put their own inlay on. As an added bonus you could choose any 3D14! So it was that being a part of this first wave of clay customs (semi?) that I ended up with these:
The .25, $5, and Black $100 were part of the group designed picks. The $1 and Pink 3D14 $25 were part of the original allowed free choice (of 3D14s). Of course subsequent to this ASM opened up to basically any spot patterns so I added on the Pink 4D14 $25 and the DG Yellow 214. Who knows what I was thinking at that time. I guess I did because I could.
After actually playing in my dimly lit subterranean gaming parlor it be came apparent that the Brown - Orange - Pink run in the middle were too close in hue and lead to dirty stack/pot scenarios. Plus something just never sat right with me about the look.
In any case, after ASM became Classic Poker Chips, I had a new $1 made (Dark Blue 3DS16 Light Blue) and that worked well withe frac and the $5. Still was never satisfied for the big value chips in the set so to that end I am going to add a new $25 and new $100, both of which won't see much action but they still need to be there. Just wanted to see if anyone can see any problems with the proposed additions.
Proposed new line up:
