Jockey Mold fake casino hotstamp Fractionals - Group Design and Group Buy (1 Viewer)

Just a few more days (June 2) until the preference listing is closed.

After that, I will be compiling the requests and making suggestions for compromises. Start thinking about what you can live with... recall, the goal was one of each denom assuming enough interest. It appears at this time, there is enough interest in a nickel, dime, and quarter... but the names will be the compromise... unless someone is willing to cover the entire die cost for their preferred.

As of right now, it looks like:
Silver Shoe 5c
Red's Tavern 10c
and the 25c is up in the air... the highest qty is Moe's Tavern, but that is a single purchaser.

My goal is to post the order thread by the end of next week. That means we need to come to a consensus on which hotstamps are being ordered.

Also, it looks like our potential quantity is enough to initiate the installation of the Jockey Mold... and @David Spragg has indicated they are looking for orders... so this could happen relatively quickly.
 
Okay... June 2 is here. There haven't been any changes since the post above (ref post 49). That means, the selected denoms are:

Silver Shoe 5c
Red's Tavern 10c
Moe's Tavern 25c


Final artwork for these three will be created and posted here. Once artwork has been agreed upon, I will post an order thread. The artwork will not deviate substantially from what has been posted previously. The comments regarding fonts will be implemented. The artwork will be posted next week. I intend to create the order thread on June 12.

The selection above leaves some people out. We can certainly add a second hotstamp for a given denomination. Specifically if the one person interested in that hotstamp is willing to cover the entire cost of that die (~$80 estimate). The cost will be shared if anyone decides to also order that stamp.

@TheBigTater , @ceramicmike , @upNdown , @RowdyRawhide , @detroitdad , @David O Please chime in on how the results affect your purchase. Perhaps agreement on a second stamp can be had.

Additionally, is anyone other than @Joe E. interested in Moe's Tavern 25c? If not, he is stuck with the entire die cost (though I'm pretty likely to get a rack of those too).

I would most likely be out. I do not have a use for 5¢ or 10¢ chips. I would still consider a 25¢ chips but as I previously stated, I would be out with anything "Tavern' which to me does not remind me of a "Casino". Please proceed anyway that the group wants and do not let me thoughts get in the way of your GB. Great job

What portion of the ~$80 die cost are you willing to pay for the El Rancho (or ANY name of your choosing)? I can have the simple artwork (like Red's or Silver Shoe) done easily.
 
I'm still in for the Silver Shoe nickles.

I would love to have a quarter but I to don't really want to have a Simpson theme (Moe's) chip. No offence to @Joe E or others that wish to have Moe's Tavern stamp. I would prefer that a the nickle & quarter match

I really like the Silver Shoe name/theme especially with the Jockey Mold. If anyone else is interested in a Silver Shoe quarter I'd be willing to go in (preferably with at least one other person) but not sure I want to foot the entire die cost, or it would be cost effective, just to get a rack + (120 quarters). I still might foot the full die cost (still thinking) but $40 sounds better than $80.
 
^^^this is just the sort of dialogue I want to open up. Let's see if one other wants a Silver Shoe quarter.

Hmmm...I might could be convinced.
 
@Shaggy thanks for putting this together, but I will have to bow out at this point. It looks like This is going to happen faster than I can prepare funds for, and nothing else is really interesting too me right now. And some other personal stuff will possibly limit play money for awhile
 
I'm still interested in a rack (or more?) of 10c and maybe a rack of 5c.

And if the names are set as

Silver Shoe 5c
Red's Tavern 10c
Moe's Tavern 25c

then ideally I'd like to see

5c - Silver Shoe , purple/lavendar, silver hot stamp
10c - Red's Tavern ( rather see Lounge, Place, or something besides Tavern, but it won't stop me from getting them ), orange/butterscotch/yellow, gold hot stamp
25c - no opinion since I'm not planning on getting any ( yet :D )

That being said, I'm not in love with any of the names and could easily be convinced to go another direction with them. I'm more concerned with the colors of the chip. I want them to look good with yet contrast the current chip colors in my cash set. I have a PCA set with Lt. Blue 25c (relabeled) and Pink 50c fracs currently.

Yea, I know I probably don't need all these fracs, but...
1. The guy's I play with like lots of chips
2. Who said anything about need.

So for me this all this hinges mostly on final chip color and participation from others since I'm not willing to foot a significant portion of the dye cost myself. The actual name on the chip is a distant third.

The beauty of this order is you get to pick your colors... Doesn't matter what anyone else wants. As long as you order 100 or more, they can be any color... So figure out what you want.

Oh?!?! I did not realize that. Thought we had to standardize on the exact chip name/denomination/color for each. So as long as I'm OK with the name/denomination, the chip color is whatever I want. Awesome! Does that also apply for the hot stamp color? Gold vs. Silver? Is that also my choice or is that part of the dye consideration? Not a huge deal either way, just wondering.
 
Regarding gold foil vs silver foil. I am not sure. My assumption is you can pick whichever you want... But there may be an additional slight fee for the changeover. I will have an answer for that before we commit to the orders.

I have confirmed with @David Spragg, there will be a slight fee associated with changing the foil color. Very likely the same as the die change.

Also, David re-iterated that we won't have final costs worked out until after the order is placed. He will process the order and determine how many die changes are necessary etc. At that time, we will have a final price.

When I create the order thread, I will have everyone add $10 for die changes. This $10 will be credited towards the shipping of your purchase if a die change was not necessary.
 
@Joe E. It is seeming like the other members that were interested in quarters are bowing out for various reasons. It is plausible that you may be the only one to order Moe's quarters. If that is the case, are you okay covering the die charge yourself (estimated $80)? It is also plausible that once the order thread goes up, multiple people pile on.. the die charge will be divided equally on a per chip basis. Just keeping you informed.

Thanks for the heads up. Was there another casino/club name that got more interest for a $.25? As much as I like the Moe's Tavern idea, not sure I love it enough for the die charge solo. If it was a solo venture, I might be more likely to recreate a Joe's Club chip for the quarter. joes club hotstamp.jpg 1-00-joe-s-club-poker-chip-vintage-rare-gambling-illegal-casino-token_57898.JPG

There was interest in ~200 two-bit quarters and ~120 Silver Shoe quarters. Of those, I know the @TheBigTater is backing out of the quarters. Not sure if @RowdyRawhide or @detroitdad would come back if the name changed to Two Bit Saloon. I'll let them chime in. Would you be interested in Two Bit 25c chips if you were able to share the die charge?

I hate backing out of something after i have committed, so I would still be interested in somewhere around 125 of the 2 bit quarters. If Joe E is interested in these as well

While I am usually game to pitch in and help get a group buy/project done, I am not really that interested in 2 bit quarters. Trying to get excited about them to facilitate a purchase but not finding much enthusiasm or need. I guess if there is a last minute flood of desire for them I could get on board, but to be the main driver (or even 50% split) on the die charge is less than appealing.

its all good
 
Still interested in silver shoe 5c and quarters (if anyone else also wanting this quarter to lower cost.).
 
I'd be back in for Silver Shoe .25c if we can get 2-3 people to share the die cost.

Sounds good. I can post it in the order thread. We can see if anyone else orders it. If not enough, we can cancel it.

I should have the final artwork posted for these today or tomorrow. I will create the order thread shortly after posting the artwork.
 
Here is the final artwork for the three denominations. I will create the order thread later today. Please comment here if something bugs you about the artwork. I have shown the same hotstamp on various color bases to help you decide the color. I will make the artwork file available in the order thread so you can do your own tinkering in the chip design tool.

Anyone considering filling out their custom silver shoe fracs with some 1's and 5's? 25's?
 
I've considered it numerous times, just haven't been able to fit it in (time & money wise) with all my other projects going on. I really like the Silver Shoe theme & I'd love to fill out the set and do $1's $5's & $20/$25's at some point.

I did some basic early draft color/spot mockups some time ago but never really followed through or revisited them.

I REALLY want a couple racks of all the fracs. Next jockey mold isn’t until 2020 though :dead:
