The only one that concerns me is 100/500 - I would not have guessed it without seeing the printed color, but that purple runs dark..
agreed, can you see if they will lighten the 500?

No problem, we can get that lightened up

Here are the two together, the updated version is the top color.

I put the two side by side, that would work might even be able to go a shade lighter.

one more shade lighter would be good.

I just noticed that I goofed on this - I have no idea why I wrote 22 for the T5000. I mean 42. I want to use 5/4/1/ starting stack for turbos, so 50/40/10 should be on order (plus 2 each for the sample sets), total 126.
Thanks.
Hi All
is it too late to get on this?

I would like two buttons if it's not too late.

No, the GB is still open.
I've requested a prototype of each chip but its unclear if and when they will provide them. Was told is would be more than a week to get them and that was about 2 weeks ago. I will ask again. In the mean time, I am going to send this T25 chip to woody so he can see it in person too.
No cut off date has been set so you are good. I will add 2 buttons for you. Thx.
Thanks Tommy! You da man!

Just an update. I talked to Erica today. She said GOCC will be unable to provide a prototype chip for each denom. 
They said that the main concern was color conflicts between certain denoms and that the color swatches she posted above addressed those concerns. I mailed the T25 chip to woody today. I will wait to hear his feedback before I proceed. Thx.

I'm out on the chips for now. I'll wait until I see actual samples of chips. I can't invest in a tourney set when the 500s/100s might be unplayable , as was the case with an older GOCC group buy.
I was planning on ordering a 1000 piece tourney setup, so I can do it later without the group buy (if the artwork is still available for use, of course).
I would like to get 5 buttons though.

I completely understand Mike. It's unfortunate that GOCC cannot provide a full set of prototypes. Erica has been great to deal with but I believe it is beyond her control. I'll put you down for 5 buttons.

Yeah, deal-breaker for me too. I wasn't going to make a huge dent in the totals but I'm out regardless. Good luck with these though - the artwork looks great.

Since purple /black is the biggest concern, maybe we can get at least those two?
Same here. GOCC must not need the business.....

Got some good news today from Erica! GOCC will provide a complete prototype sample set. We are going to wait until woody reviews the T25 prototype I sent him to see if any minor tweaks are needed first.

This is good news... it's not just going to increase the group buy sales, but it will help avoid problems in the set. Improving the set will make for more sales for the production set!
Very nice design! Keep in mind that this is a design where the overall look strongly depends on absolutely perfect edge alignment. However, if all chips will come out as shown in post #47, this shouldn't be a problem. 100/500 is always critical in an ceramic tourney set. I once had a Chipco Rounders set and finally sold it for exactly this reason - purple was too dark. The easiest way around this (and a path taken by even some clay sets) would be going some kind of lavender instead of purple.
OP

I did let GOCC know that the aligned edges need to be dead on especially for a design like this one. Its definitely an opportunity for them to showcase their chip making skills.
