I dont know about far superior, they're both Hall of Fame worthy in my book. There have been other sets brought up in this and past years that imo were far inferior to other sets, but somehow I managed to avoid saying so
it's been a while since we played live with those chips, bit it is a great feeling raking in a pot that has mounds and mounds of those sexy yellow crab chips
not really. When I bought my BTPs (I was part of the group buy/not a group buy) I never dealt with the manufacturer at all, I dealt with other people in the Griup Buy who organized it. There was one person dealing with the manufacturer who then organized and distributed the chips to the rest of the group. I would guess that the boat chips were handles the same way, with one or two people dealing directly with the manufacturer and then distributing the chips out amongst the members of the group buy.
Throwing a second hat into the ring, and hopefully reviving this thread.

Aren’t these already a HOF set? We’re they just up in a previous year and didn’t make it?
I think the replacement committee should be replaced.
These shitty cell phone pics don't do these chips justice, by the way. I may be a little biased, but I have played on A LOT of sets and these are up there with the nicest customs I've ever seen in person.
I feel like that's the best part! I look forward to when I have every custom sample in hand and do my top 100 rundown
We're not even seeing the good pr0n. Idk, I look at the picture below, and I'd want them in at some point. But I get it, a lot of people don't want to water down the HoF and really only want top top sets, not just good CPC custom orders.

I think I'd probably still push for these. I enjoy the spots and colors, personally over blue $1s at the moment, but they work (and this was years ago). Like several other people have done, solid use of the B mold. I think the design is pretty fantastic, both sides very clearly dictate the theme and the denom, and I really enjoy the crab peeking along the bottom, it's fun/funny/entertaining. Of course it has that personal touch, which I really enjoy (sunsets, motswari are great examples of that). But a lot of sets do all that, does this one still get in?
I say yes, because this is one of the ONLY customs I see that crosses all the checkboxes, and also has poker involved. Very rarely do we see a set that has some actual nod to poker or a poker term. And of course it has to actually work like this one does.
The only thing missing is people understanding the chip because there was no real reveal like some of the others, just a hey I got them in! (or I missed that thread).
@Chippy McChiperson @kirchhausen Can I assume the "Haus" of bluff is a nod to German heritage?

I just meant if someone felt that these didn't quite get "there". Just thought I'd stump and give the reasoning behind why I thought these belong somewhere up at the top of customs that have been done and are sitting outside the HoF.
