I added a $2 chip to the old school set, is that what you are looking for?

This chip is exactly why I'm asking! It's too good to pass up on. I realize my wording could have been clearer.

Anybody use a $2 outside of limit?

 

[DJ_Fett]

When is ordering starting? I’m ready to go!

Right?! That money is burning a hole in my PayPal accounts pocket....

 

[ranger764]

Order thread going up next week.

Is it next week yet?

 

[p5woody]

I thought maybe we needed at $25,000 chips.

Those involved in the BW GB might recognize it



I guess I should create one for the union station casino as well.

 

[Chris Flynn]

Sweet!

Really awesome. Can the yellow Old School be a 20K? That would provide a lot of flexibility to anyone who wanted to relabel having both 20k and 25k to choose from with still a great chip for each set.

 

[Geremie]

The Vegas $25k is fire!

 

[seyff45]

Wow... both of the 25k look great!

That said, I'm with ChipTalker... would be great if one of them was a 20k for added flexibility!

 

[p5woody]

Got the inspiration from these … 6 and 8 spots with extra side symbols … I think they look awesome

Here is a comparison in stacks

Compared side by side:

 

[ranger764]

I think it’s cleaner without it, but I’ve got no skin in that game.

 

[seyff45]

I think the side symbols are awesome and part of what makes these chips look so great.

Would be a travesty to take them out.

 

[Geremie]

Awesome mock ups! My vote is for the side symbols, I think it makes the chip!

 

[yone]

Might not have funds for this GB but, the symbols on the 1000 seems busy. I think it’s the strong contrast because I like the 500

 

[p5woody]

Not sure how to add a poll here, I guess I would need to create a new thread. Do we need a poll?

 

[Chipandchair]

I am getting a cash set so no opinion on the $500 and $1000

 

[p5woody]

I just started a poll in a new thread, we will see what the majority think.

[18xx Board Gamer]

I started discussing this in the poll thread by mistake. Sorry.

I'm interested in a multi-purpose set suitable for micro/small stakes poker games and 18XX board games. The denominations as is are great for poker and perfect for many 18XX games. One issue for 18XX is the need for a $2000 chip for some of the larger games. I can get away with using the $1K, $5K, and $25K chips, but I'm worried about dirty stack issues between the $20 and the $1000.

I'm also wondering if the artwork is suitable for modification and dye-sub printing onto ceramics.

 

[p5woody]

Continue to make a few small changes, I think we are getting close.

Old School - Note $20,000 instead of $25,000

Union Station lastest update:

 

[TheBigTater]

When this first started I was really excited that we could finally get a 43mm Hybrid "V7 look" cash set. But that Union Station tournament lineup is just freakin' outstanding.

Hoping I can put back enough monies for what this is going to end up costing me.

@p5woody just outstanding work.

 

[p5woody]

One more, wanted to see all the edge spots and faces together.

 

[Geremie]

What would a colored ring (matching the banner color) near the outer edge of the Union labels look like?

I feel like this would just make the inlay appear smaller??

 

[Geremie]

If it’s thin enough it may not impact the image size

 

[ChrisB]

If it’s thin enough it may not impact the image size

Wouldn't work because the bleed area of a label is quite large and there will be many labels where the ring will be large on one end of the label and non existent on the other end. The die cut process is not a guaranteed laser precise. Maybe one day it will be.

 

[Darson]

Looks great although the 20k looks a bit plain compared to all the other chips. Add some fairy dust!

 

[seyff45]

20k is like that by design

20k is like that by design to be able to plug into another set design wise where the 20k never got made

Yep, there was a reason for this

nevermind, ghost pic

 

[p5woody]

That's the last pic to be referencing in this thread if you want to actually get that color/spot combo approved for production.....

Decided to remove picture, so there is no confusion

 

[p5woody]

Artwork has been finalized, there will be no more changes unless we find an issue.

FYI - I was just informed Sun-Fly will be moving factories. So we are hoping to get the order thread up soon and orders placed quickly to get chips printed before the move. So start working on your breakdowns now.
