Hello from a snowy Minnesota!
Totally new to this hobby; admittedly I'm not a part of it (yet). I fear, though, this is quite deep rabbit hole I may fall into. My main goal here is to learn enough to make a custom set of my own.
I have ordered up some samples and to keep things simple (and within budget), I am likely going to go with a nice set of the Majestic or Royal (depending on which size I prefer) from Apache. From what I've gathered, I could get blank ones and then get labels printed with whatever design I choose from one of the label manufacturers and just stick them in... I hope it's that simple and I didn't miss a step. I know you can get way more complicated (and expensive) by getting other chips, milling, and relabeling. It looks like you can also do custom ceramics or something from BPRO or some such site. I suppose I should order a sample of those to see how they compare with the ones I ordered from Apache?
