Does first post in this thread in the new year get a golden ticket?

Happy New Year all! To a happy, safe, and healthy one.

Second post of the new year! Hope everyone has a great new year!

 

[BarrieJ3]

Third. Consider yourself lawyered, the golden ticket is mine.

“According to legend, the tiger and other animals participated in “The Great Race” that determined how the 12 zodiacs were chosen.

The tiger came in third, after the rat and the ox, despite its confidence in its speed.”

1 per person, if able? Again, having a big game is a blessing and a curse.

probably not, although if the demand exceeds supply, there will be some sort of a random drawing...

 

[gmansbu]

I can’t wait to hear pricing and if there will be enough quantity for everyone interested.

So I hate to ask because it looks like I'm way late to the game. I couldn't bring myself to read through 69 pages, yikes, but I gotta know. Is this a Tina card mold group buy?

Spoiler

JUST KIDDING!! AWESOME JOB @JeepologyOffroad and @kk405!!

There are no T1, T5, T100 sets being offered... All three sets that will go on sale are basically T25 sets, but I am pretty sure people will create their own sets, some smaller and some larger than initially being offered. Some of the other denoms (T1, T5, NCV, etc.) can and very likely will be used to create cash sets out of the hot stamps...and some will be murdered...a few may even decide to create T100, T500, or even T1000 sets. The set is very versatile and flexible, given there are 10 chips from NCV to T100K.

I had plans of releasing the set breakdowns and prices by today, but was traveling and just got back...will post all details by tomorrow afternoon (if it wasn't known by most, I am always talking about EST/EDT/NYC time... )

But just as an added response to @yeahfkyeah ... these are the three hot stamp breakdown that will be offered next Saturday (January 7th):

Single Table 400 chip set: 120/120/60/80/20
1-2 Tables 600 chip set: 160/160/80/160/40
High Roller 1500 chip set: 320/320/200/300/200/100/60

Is this 1 set per person? or are you able to combine Set 1 and 2 for a 1000 chip set that fits nicely in a single birdcage

Stop being so greedy.

Stop being so greedy.

haha...Just looking to leave those extra 500 chips available for someone else instead of selecting Set 3

I can’t wait to see what kind of scraps are left over after the golden ticketers nosh their way through the prime meat…

For severe OCD types, yea you can order set 1 and 2 …

I am not putting a limit on sets as I have no idea what the actual demand will look like. I believe this is the first time that public sales of modern era NAGB THC chips has been attempted. And for a few posters who always think there is, or should be, an unlimited supply of these chips, or there is a secret door that is now open and reordering is possible in perpetuity, they will be disappointed to know that there are limits … and they should stop fantasizing … a solid/good number of chips will be available for sale, but some will surely be disappointed by something.

Damn! I missed the original

 

[TheWhat]

This is awesome @kk405 Thanks to all involved who have expanded this opportunity to the masses.

Just gonna criss my fingers and hope a Set of Chips is in my budget.

 

[SiouxperStack]

How can we even really be certain these Tiger chips aren’t the new TinaHC chips?

 

[JMC9389]

My prediction? Pain.

This is sad.
BTW, did you guys ask about that flower pattern on the Cle Horsehoe primary $500?

Whoa, thanks for mentioning that, because I had never seen this chip before. Kinda weird, but I can totally imagine a color and inlay combo where I dig it.

 

[AZBOARDER13]

I think I got less sleep last night in anticipation of the official announcement than I did as a kid waiting for Christmas. Today is draaaaaggging….

 

[ovo]

@kk405 Hey Ken, can I make a suggestion, make sure only members can view your sale thread, so we don't get outside people buying and flipping. This should be done by all vendors, at least initially, 24 hours or so. thanks

 

[BSteck]

The ncvs were never designed to be a “set”.

Then you shouldn't have made them so freaking awesome...

 

[BNM]

Weirdly enough someone did that very thing with Paulsons. They are called "Tiger Palace".....let me see if I can find you the link

So, the “Tiger Palace” Paulsons were designed from the ground up as someone’s ideal custom set? That is not the impression I get. Rather, it seems like at least two people had to agree on a mutual design that would pass the GPI/Paulson sniff test to get produced. If either person could have designed their ideal custom set, would it really have been any of these three sets?

That’s not the impression I get, but I really have no idea. Maybe they can chime in here.

 

[upNdown]

pass the GPI/Paulson sniff test

Come on.
Nobody was sniffing.
You don’t need to be a bloodhound to smell these from the next county.
I’m not privy to any details but there’s no way GPI thought these were being made for an actual casino.

Yes!

I mean, why not? Each one of them is amazing. Anyone who's tried to come up with an "ideal" custom set using the CPC design tool, for example, can attest to the fact that it's not easy. These sets are stunning, and I'm thankful that Jeep was the designer...I certainly couldn't design anything better, if I set out to design my "ideal custom set".

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

I am pretty certain people will put those together at some point... I am envisioning a robust secondary market activity after the chips go on sale and get delivered as people will try to bulk-up some sets and even create other playable sets from scratch.

Initially there will be a 400pc, 600pc, and 1500pc tournament sets that will become available for sale (all hot stamps) and the cash sets will be for $0.25/$0.50, $1/$2, $2/$5 and $5/$10 games (both primary and secondary).

This is probably going to get answered in the next few pages, but I'll ask anyway.

Since details are starting to leak out, it sounds like you are saying here that your initial sale is not going to allow for mixing of primary and secondary in one set. Correct? And that you are selling in predetermined sets?

Like you, I’m not privy to any details from this or any of the other GPI buys, so I really have no clue/basis. Thus, the questions.

 

[BNM]

Yes!

Really? You, and at least two others, must absolutely loves you some Tigers then!

I used to feel to exact same way about all nagbs.
