NUTS HYBRID (TINA CHIPS) (1 Viewer)

[BearMetal]

I personally think one of the best values that the CM chips offer is a really well done shaped inlay. You cannot get that with a hybrid chip; just food for thought. Tina really doesn't make this decision easy

Are the hybrids 39mm only or also available in 43mm?

only 39mm right now

Haha, "right now" but not for long! The future is bright my friend!!

True... but ut is still fake! Looks great but just printed on. I own some too

But look at the color in the cards mold on the reds here... washed out, ewww! I mean sure the "faux" shaped inlay will fool the unknowing... but at the end of the day still fake. I guess we all like certain aspects and sales points. But I choose the Hybrids 100 times over these guys.

Right, the shaped inlay is "printed" into the design, so it's fake. However, I personally think this looks nicer than almost all of the faux RHC shaped inlays out there because of the color matching problems. CM chips with a faux shaped inlay elevate them a bit IMO ...

But you're also right that the dye sub consistencies on the CM recess used to be awful; the 43mm BTPs I just got were miles better, even on some harder colors.

A little better closeups. You can really see the non-uniform ink on the 39mm 2020 chip (bottom left). Less so on the 43mm 2022 chip, but still there (bottom right). Almost non-existent on the 39mm hybrid chip (top).

The more I shuffle the sample set I have, the more I want a set of these lol. They are insanely different from the cards mold. I understand the hype that @Ben8257 has for them They are legit.

 

[Mandos]

Yeah really glad I got a sample of these. If i ever get around to a fully custom set I'll likely go this route as I can't justify CPC

@Himewad do you know if Tina offers a flat finish (or less glossy) label in the hybrids?

 

[Himewad]

I think I asked a while ago, and they have different label options, yes. But other than being able to do a smooth label, I don’t recall what the options were.

Great looking chips, can't wait to check them out in person!

Just a taste for now - I’m knee deep in re-shipping. But I just had to take a few pictures of these babies.

Those chips really are the nuts! BTW, they show up in the alibaba commercials all the time

@Himewad Great looking chips! I am intrigued and would like to someday order a custom set. I have so many questions about completing an order, so if I may.

1. Who do you recommend to complete artwork for custom inlay and how much is the cost for the artwork?

2. Does this person design the whole chip to my specifications or just the inlay?

3. If they just design the inlay, who will put the whole chip together (whatever file is needed to send to Tina for manufacture) and how much will that person charge?

4. Lastly, how the hell do you place an order for custom chips with Tina?

Thank you for your time.
