I'm glad this thread popped back up, I hadn't seen it before. Congratulations on a very interesting and productive two months on the forums!
If it wouldn't betray any confidences about your game, I'd love to see some of the vintage chips your crew has been playing with, and I'm sure I'm not alone. When you say "vintage", do you mean old casino chips from vegas and such? Making a playable set out of those would be quite an undertaking. Or do you mean something more like chips from the early 20th century? Playable sets of those are hard to assemble as well, depending on just which types you're interested in. Either way, I'm sure your collection is a sight to see, and pr0n is always welcome.
... and regarding the original post, are you still contemplating a custom set? Relabels or
CPC? Or even [gasps heard from the Paulson junkies] customs from Abbiati or Matsui?
