You might consider changing the insert pattern throughout the line up, but you should change the insert colors on at least the 5 and 25 so they don't match; I wouldn't use white on the inserts more than twice and at least 1 or 2 chip gap if you doView attachment 1029341
New mock up of changes.
you should change the 500 back immediately; like the change to the 1 maybe play with the orange color, make it more orange-y or neon orange; I like the change to the 5, but it's likely going to see a lot of play, make sure you love color combo.I have listened about changing the chip spots and am now a bit torn, I think I still love the OG design with the white tying it all together.
Thoughts?
I’m tweaking both the 500 and the 5. Feel like they’re not quite popping just yet for me.you should change the 500 back immediately
Wondering if you took shipment on these and how they turned outAlright this is it. Thanks to the feedback I have changed the look of my chips drastically and this is what we are going with.
Oh boy, glad you came here. I know there are a few who like Chip Lab, but my opinion is they are an enormous ripoff! I would rather have 40 cents a chip ceramic Chinese cards mold than those plastic chip lab chips.
I'm sure others who play your stakes will chime in. I'm more of a micro stakes player, but I think you can easily reduce your chip count. Depending on what spot patterns you want, I think you might be able to get Classic Poker Chip customs for pretty close to that budget if you reduce the count.
Let's look at just one table. Then we can double.
$1 x 200 = $200
$5 x 300 = $1500
$25 x 100 = $2500
$100 x 50 = $5000
That's $9200 per table and 650 chips. Double that and you're at 1300. Do you normally have over $9000 on each table? If so, then add another 100 hundos and you've got $14,000 per table. Surely that's enough, isn't it?
$3000 / 1300 = $2.30 per chip. $3000 / 1400 = $2.14 per chip. You can definitely get the CPC stock designs like Rounders, Atlantic Club, Chesterfield and others within your budget. Customs will be a little more, but I'm not sure how much more. I think it's pretty resonable if you just change the inlay art, but keep the stock chip designs. But don't hold me to that. Others here who have bought from CPC can better answer that question.
Edit: fixed a math error in my original answer.
From what I have seen, pretty much everything that comes from China is shipped in 25s. All the china clays that Apache sells come that way and every slugged plastic chip I've ever looked at myself come that way. China doesn't care about our obsession here on PCF for 20 chip barrels.Oops, didn’t see that you already pulled the trigger.
(Weird that they send these in batches of 25.)
Correct. Sorry if my post was interpreted as saying you could ONLY order in 25s from Tina. I too ordered whatever numbers I wanted when ordering directly from her.I ordered off amounts from Tina- she shipped and provided extras. Groups of 25 not necessary.
Nice looking chips. Have you put a $1 chip in the $100 stack and a $100 chip in the $1 stack yet? Those 2 chips scream dirty stack issues waiting to happen.
You are going to need more 5s for those games I would think. probably closer to 1400 from my experience. When I hosted games we went through 1200 quickly for a single table.I would definitely go heavy on your 5's. For 2 tables, 1000 sounds about right....maybe even more.
I think your initial numbers look pretty good. If you are doing a drop and have a dedicated dealer, you might need more 1's, depending on how often you would cycle them back out of the box, and also to have plenty for tipping the dealers. I would also throw in a couple barrels of $500's, just to be sure if you have guys dropping thousands. You never know when a couple whales will want to play big.
