I bet it will be very similar to the HSI sale. Just my thoughts.

Very nice. Such a bummer the $5s aren’t
@TheChipRoom have you seen any yellowing issues like we did with the secondary HSI $2.50 and $25 chips?
Those aren’t holes. They’re micro printed dots, a security feature. Example here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/coastal-gaming-paulson-set.42198/post-785120
@Colquhoun Thanks for the education! Not something I've run into before.
Interesting to see that the dots have quite a bit more prominence on these (with a black background) compared to the costal $100 and PCNY implementations.

JACK Detroit was the same. Personally, I think the Alpha dots add to the coolness factor of a set - gives it a real "authenticity" factor.

I gave this some thought after the last time I saw this white ring and it struck me that it's just to verify that there is something there. A missing alpha dot on a black label isn't going to be noticed by anyone but those in the cage.

Personally like the micro dot , but HSI Don’t have them and they’re still nice
No way! That dot looks like an error
... some chips have other marks that don't look like some kind of out-of-focus smear. I'm cool with that, but I hate the dot.

On the PNY’s the dot looks way better. There is no outer circle that surrounds the dot on these. But on the jacks yeah it can look off , I agree !No way! That dot looks like an error
The dot on the Vineyard $100 is almost invisible...the Jacks have the “The Dot is HERE!” attitude.
The only acceptable security feature IMO:
Haha, well, yeah! But I was only referring to the situation where you MUST have a visible one.
Or, embed the rfid chip and call it a day.

Here is a pic I just took. This one from a HS Cinci $100. That printing is SUPER SMALL so it is a bit difficult to keep it all in focus in a pic, but this isn't too bad. This is magnified roughly 50x real life size
Yeah but come on... Did they have to make it look like someone stretched the vinyl too far.Here is a pic I just took. This one from a HS Cinci $100.

I think the point is that making something look similar even without paulson in there - just grey dots, is a lot tougher than if they didn't have that white smear there. On an all black label, you would not see the dot without kissing the chip with your eyeball. If that was the case, counterfeiters could just ignore the dot all together as none of staff would notice it was gone until it reached the cage.
I guess that's the drawback of back labels as opposed to light ones, where it would always be visible and it would take the staff a split second to see that there was something off with the chip if it was missing.

Those spots were on the Jack Detroit's too.
It looks like there's just an odd placement of the micro dots on the Jack Cinncinati chips.
I just never understood why it needs a large white background. Cant the dot be placed on black? Whoever (or whatever) is scanning it, I would think it wouldn’t matter.
It's like someone let their kid pick where to put the dot. Probably the same kid that took a crayon and made their hideous $25k chip.
