Relabeled Spirit Molds (1 Viewer)

[MG20]

I finally finished relabeling the Spirit mold chips I purchased, and decided to share some terrible cell phone pics I took. I really like them and think they are a great buy for what they cost.

Nice. They look good. (y) :thumbsup:

I think they look awesome! I've been hunting around the various vendors, and can't really find many that have spirit mold blanks in inventory. Were they discontinued a long time ago?

 

[MG20]

I don't think they have been made in a while, not sure how long. Most of the ones I got had labels on that had to be removed.

These look great! I've been thinking about putting together a relabel Spirit mold set myself but just have a few too many projects going on. Suddenly I feel inspired to revisit the idea.

@allforcharity check chipsandgames, clearance section and clay chips section.

Thanks ejot. Yeah, I looked there, and a few other places, and they claim to have only 3 colours in stock, and I really needed 6 (for roulette), so I kinda stopped looking. I'm 85% leaning toward a Sun-Fly ceramic set because I need 1500 chips at a reasonable price. Cost is very comparable to custom 2-side labels on a discounted spirit mold blank.

Love those colors. Looks good with that black label. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[tallsbutler]

These look great, man!

 

[Kensco]

Very nicely done! (y) :thumbsup:

Who did your art work and who printed your labels?

 

[MG20]

I did the artwork myself, and of course the great @Gear printed the labels for me.

(y) :thumbsup: Well done mate, look great

Would you mind taking a few more pics of the pink in stacks please?

 

[MG20]

Sure, no problem. Here you go...

Well son of a bitch. I couldn't stop looking at how nice these actually look, and just ordered 1290 Spirit mold chips for a relabel tournament set. I don't even play tournaments.

Thanks mate, look awesome

Those look great!!!

I'm about to order some of these chips, but I'm having the hardest time making a decision on color/denom combos.

How are you liking these chips? Any issues with crumbling, color, etc?

 

[Quicksilver-75]

That is a great looking set!

So far none of the ones that are pictured here show any signs of crumbling or any color issues. I do also have some of the solids and I have seen some crumbling on them. I would say if you decide to get any of the solids just buy extra and plan on having some that you just throw away when you get them.

Good to know about the solids. . As you likely saw in my thread, I did order 150 grays as a possible nickel, but I only need 100. If they're too crumbly, I'm sure I'll be happy with the white for my nickel.

Of the four solid colors available on chipsandgames, the blues are definitely the crumbliest. Maybe 10% -15% of the blues I ordered about 2 months ago came with flea bites. These are my first experience with CC, but I wouldn't call the defects egregious. Plus, for the price, I ordered extras and don't have to put any of the bad ones into play anyway. The reds, grays and greens are much better. Maybe 1 or 2 bad chips in 200.

So far I've only cleaned and labeled them, no idea what they'll look like after more significant handling. They'll be getting their cherries popped on 7/20.

Glad to hear the side painted versions are less crumbly. I ordered about 2000 of them for a tourney set which will see a lot more playing time than the solid cash set.

I got the chips yesterday. The grays looked perfect, but...you know those rye chips in the Gardetto's snack mix? They're about that easy to break. Two of them fell apart as I was cleaning them, and I tried a few others to see if they were the same. They all just snapped in my fingers like a cracker. Good thing they were cheap. Guess I'm using the whites as my nickel.

When I did it, after cleaning and oiling, mine seemed a bit sturdier. I wouldn't drop them from shoulder height onto a tile floor, but they have held up well with normal play.

Good to know.

 

[SeanGecko]

I would have to agree that the oiling and cleaning strengthen these cause those solid grey chips were CRACKERS.

 

[FCCDAD]

I just cleaned a few racks of these, solid red, grey, and greens. None were literally broken, but the flea bites and edge chipping were worst on the reds. Still, for 7c/each, comes out closer to 9c each after sorting out the good ones, still a great deal.

First game with labels by @Gear.

 

[longflop]

those are fantastic! well done!

Who designed the labels?

 

[SeanGecko]

I came up with the concept with a rough draft and @Gear really helped with the font and EDITING MY CRAP IDEAS. I can't say enough of how much he helped on the labels.

My last name is Weller and my best friend and his brother is name Hardy.

My original concept attached.

Had to change the color due to durability and availability.

 

[Moxie Mike]

Nicely done guys.

By any chance were you able to determine hex or RGB codes for the chips themselves?

I've got a relabel project underway for these exact same chips... I'll let you know how they turn out
