Looks like I missed the formal deadline, but I'll take one set if there is a grace period or it is west coast time.
 
Two sets remaining.

Payment info will be sent out later today, based on actual order size.
 
Is one of the DBs a hybrid style too? If so I’ll have to ask if someone wants to part with one of those. Almost tempted me to buy a set.

Yep -- there are two 60mm hybrid-style buttons with center labels (in black or white) and two 60mm ceramic printed buttons (black or white).

I don't need 4 DBs so will probably be willing to part with two. I want to see them in hand before deciding which ones to let go though. If you don't mind waiting, I'll put you at the top of the list.
 
Group buy orders are full!!

I'll send out payment instructions this afternoon.
 
I will have extra dealer buttons for sale (at my collector-set group buy cost plus shipping) after everything arrives. At least six extras (all four types), maybe as many as twelve. I'm guessing around $8/button shipped, or two buttons for $12 shipped.

First-come, first-served -- hit me up via PM if interested.

when's the next Sunfly group buy?
@SteveHNo96 has something in the design stages right now

I thought there also might be some plans for something in the fall....
Yep. I also have 5 sample sets left for Midnight Casino if someone wants to buy one =)
How much are you asking for one set? I'll take one off your hands.
Please take the non-Prestige group buy discussions elsewhere.
 
Thanks for running the sample GB Dave. Btw, these chips handle great and the polyinno Dealer button is really cool! Its like a huge chip.
 
If anyone didn't get a sample set and wants one, I'll sell you mine. I just wanted to see all of the colors in person -- I've seen them, now these can go to someone else who wants them.

Might be hard to see, but almost all of mine have slightly wrinkly inlays around the edges mostly. Almost like the inlay doesn't fit perfectly in the space for it. They catch the light and aren't smooth.

Is this just an artifact of the hybrid type chips, this batch, just the ones I go?

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to, due to the glare in your photo. I looked at several of mine with a magnifying glass and a flashlight, and what I see is an intentionally printed fade from white background in the center to greyish around the outer circle of the inlay. That fade on some of mine does look a bit like a wrinkle in the inlay, but it's not. It's just ink dots.

Edit: Updated to show my own pic. Is this what yours look like?

I know about the fade out and I put the glare on it on purpose so you could see it wasn't flat. I used my thumb and really put pressure on one of the inlays to get it down all the way and now it looks like someone put a vinyl sticker on a window without making sure to get rid of all of the bubbles and that it was smooth.

It's not coming out in pictures but if you put a light over the chip so you are seeing the reflection and move it around you can for sure see that it isn't totally flat. Still well below the line of the chip so I can't imagine it causing spinners, just more curious about hybrids.

None of these chips have inlays -- they are adhesive-backed laminated labels, manually pressed into a molded recess in the ceramic chip.

I have around 3000 hybrids, and have never noticed a "non-flat" label in the recess. Not saying that I don't have any whatsoever.... but that if I do, I've never noticed it.

And I'm a pretty observant guy when it comes to chip details, fwiw.
