If you were going to buy a bracelet for a home game poker series under $100, what would you get? Preferably something that can be personalized and isn't just a medic-alert bracelet.
That’s where I’d be. No interest in junk jewelry.Also, for what it's worth my players seem to 'show off' the customized card protectors I do way more regularly than the bracelets.
This is unfortunate, I still haven't found a similar place to make my ToC champion card capper.BAD NEWS POKERGUARD.COM IS OUT OF BUSINESS
I do 2 every year. They're certainly not WSOP bracelets, but Things Remembered is tough to beat. I tried a few options, but below is a link to the one I go with now. If you skip the extra box, I think you'll be in for $50ish.If you were going to buy a bracelet for a home game poker series under $100, what would you get?

Those aren’t bad looking. Are they stainless steel?I do 2 every year. They're certainly not WSOP bracelets, but Things Remembered is tough to beat. I tried a few options, but below is a link to the one I go with now. If you skip the extra box, I think you'll be in for $50ish.
Damn.. I just checked and it looks like the price is up. Used to be around $30 + engraving. But you'll still be under $100.
Also, experiment with the font. Some of them come out crappy. I think I use Futura to be the best.

Yes. I found that the ones with the stainless surface don't engrave very well (very hard to see), so I only do the black surface ones now.Those aren’t bad looking. Are they stainless steel?
You're welcome. I have been using them since 2009, and I still have not found a better alternative for a comparable price. Please let me know if you come across alternatives.That might work. Thanks for the link!
Partially agree in the sense that you can do both. But it's a matter of preference. I also give specialized engraved beer mugs to the "Alphas" i.e., winners. I contemplated plaques, trophies, etc., but decided that my peeps prefer bracelets and alcohol in glasses that call them by name. Below is my beer begging me to take a drink...LOL.Having participated in a league and running my own for a season, I question the value and practicality of awarding jewelry to distinguished members. I think a plaque, a personalized poker chip or the players name on the wall would be more meaningful.
Would you bet $100 on whose bracelet had the most blues?I like the idea of personalized beer/rocks/whiskey glasses - that's the way my players would go.
If I ever offered a bracelet, they would probably want one of these:

I second the belt idea. Nameplates for these are cheap and easy, it gives your group something to pass on season after season, and the former titleholders nameplates can go on a plaque on the wall in your roomForget the ring, give them a customized Championship Belt

Then you can play crazy hype music and do strobe lights when they walk in to your poker room.
What is the cost per belt? I love the idea, but I gotta decide if I love my peeps enough to go that route. Gunny, Matt, Ben Brie, Charles, and Jason....DEFINITELY!! But some of them are pissing me off and will likely get a cheerios bracelet...LMAO!!
