@Chippy McChiperson what's the story behind the idea for the theme? Sorry if I missed that somewhere!

I'll try and get more pictures up. I just always like the New China Club chips, and when the E&C mold became available I knew I needed to make a tourney set (at the time I only had my Haus of Bluff cash set).

It just seemed to all fall together, Nirvana, in addition to being the name of one of the best bands of all time, in Buddhism and Hinduism is "the state of perfect happiness and peace where there is release from all forms of suffering. : a state or place of great happiness and peace. ", so the name fit, and putting a Buddha on the chip in place of the Keno Queen was a snap call. The original New China Club chip had "New China" written in Chinese characters, so I added "Nirvana" in Sanskrit in it's place.

I just love them. Great colors and a joy to handle. Fantastic as samples and in play.

And there are still spaces available in this case for other Maryland CPC samples.

Congratulations your chips look great, I am curious from order----to your door how long was your wait? I am now in my 3rd month, guessing about 6-8?

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

It was about 3 months or so but this was pre pandemic

So I wanted to add a frac to the set, and l ordered some blanks from CPC and am going to have them hot stamped. @Johnny5 did a mockup for me and I was wondering your guys thoughts. These are the chips I'm basing them off of

And this is the mockup. Do you all have a preference? (The 25 cent will be on one side)

Don't change anything. I prefer left vs right

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Do you prefer the one with the Sanskrit or without?

Without. Sorry, fat finger hit post before I was ready!

Left, but maybe add a small Buddha in the middle of the obverse text or using only the Buddha with no text (might be a nice touch)?

I read the Sanskrit as "dafuq".

That stamp looks great. I prefer the one without the Sanskrit.

 

[Highli99]

Love them. Prefer one on left as well

I change my mind. I'd go with the "Dafuq" stamp

I like the one on the right with no changes. Great stuff!
