Plaque pr0n -- let me see them! (1 Viewer)

[Seeking Alpha Social Club]

Nice PrOn! Plaques are expensive. How many plaques per person are normally recommended? I assume at some point it makes more sense to switch over to a chip vs a plaque if you need a large number of that denom, so I wonder what that magic number could be (i.e. having 10 plaques per person or 100 plaques on the table for a 10 player single table may not make as much sense as using chips instead)?

So what, maybe 3 plaques per player? Seems like that will have more perceived value if they are rarer on the table and also helps with staying within budget constraints. I'm curious what the plaque guys feel is the right amount of plaques on a 10man table?

Good question. I'm not 100% sure, but here is what I find.

For cash:

I typically have 16 to 20 players (so cut the below plaque counts in half for 10 players).
We play .50 / $1 NL, but the game plays more like a $1 / $2 game.
I have 20 x $20 plaques and 10 x $100.
Roughly $2000 in chips in play in addition to the plaques. There are times I need 10 more $20 plaques, but I usually have enough.

Tournaments:
We play a 10 person tournamnet every month. I like just using the highest denomination for plaques starting with 1 plaque per player stack and chipping up with additional plaques. I think you can go with 2 to 3 plaques per player doing that.

Sample set from the Ferias Regionales fair held in Mexico. Some years the fair held something like a floating casino. The Mexican Peso is trading a bit over a nickel now, but was somewhat
more valuable back in the days these plaques were in play. Still, a 50,000 Peso plaque is $2,500 even at today's exchange rate.

This is old pr0n, but since you asked...

GOCC made these custom bounty plaques for me.

This angle shows the texture a bit better (they stack nicely):

This was the artwork:

And a pile of them:

Love the Casino de Menton plaque I use to go to Beaulieu next to Menton on vacation when I was a kid.

Monaco plaques come from Monaco. There is a store who sell them.

For ACF, I have bought all the chips with a friend. We have a set to sell (100 x 2€, 100 x 10€, 100 x 20€, 50 x 100€), samples or spares...
Here you can find more pics : http://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/aviation-club-de-france-chip-sets.8185/

I know this is an old thread. However, do you still have the ACF items for sale?

Thanks

Old news, new pics. Obtained in the great Chipco in-house sample sell-off!

Fun story! When acquired, the $10K uncancelled Artichoke plaque was live!
Complete with UV security markings and all!
All obviously uncirculated as they never left the manufacturer.

Same, where did you get that?

What are those black chips?

They are actually a very dark Navy Blue and are the Blades chips that complement the Blades plaques! Both the plaques and chips were the brainchild of fellow chipper @Phantom (a member of the forum from "Down Under") who designed them and had them custom made...both products are STUNNING and I list them as some of my favorites!!!!!

The Hotel Splendide plaques are made by Matsui and are custom made plaques. They are HUGE in size and weight and not for everybody, but very elegant!

Where are you getting these plaques made. I'm wanting to get a new set made for my new cash game set.
