The Doxie Cardroom (ASM Roman Mold) (2 Viewers)

Sam you are alive??? I haven't herd from you in ages brother!! Looking forward to getting back to normal in 2021!!

New Years resolution #1.... when @StewbieDoo is betting big on every street early in the tourney.... do not sit back and donk off chips over valuing aces with an overly obvious straight on the board!! He will play K9 (who wouldn't) and take that pot in on you!! Lmao

Hope you're doing well buddy!!

I am lurking in the shadows! All is well but working in health care finance right now is kind of a nightmare as you could imagine. I also heavily dove into the online poker world and have been grinding that for the last 6 months so I haven't spent as much time looking at these beautiful chips!

Being in health care, I just was vaccinated this week so hoping this year everything can calm down a bit and we can all get back out there and get these home games running like usual! I am trying to get back to posting a little more so you will see me in these streets a little more often.

Hope you guys are well too!
 
Nice set Dan. I can’t wait to make it back up to splash some pots with these. Hope you all have a great New Years and best wishes for 21.
 
My favorite sets are those that look like they could have plausibly been made and used in real casinos or underground rooms and this one absolutely destroys on that front. Beautiful.
 
Hey All,

Please allow me to present my custom hot-stamped Roman mold set.

Why "The Doxie"?
It is a tribute to my Dachshund, Wally. He's my oldest pup and I wanted to memorialize him in a special set. We chose the font to mimic a 1920's Gatsby-esque theme

How did you get so many Roman mold chips? Aren't they retired?
Yes, they are a retired mold. I scavenged 5,000+ of them from online ads and garage sales over the past 5 years

Where are the rest of the 5,000?
I traded them away to @AK Chip in exchange for his brilliant stamping services. He stamped/traded/sold a bunch. I am out of inventory.

With a unique opportunity like a Roman mold set, wouldn't you want more commercial appeal?
Not really. I make custom sets that have value to me, mainly my wife, my dogs, and ducks (love ducks). One day, I'll have a custom design that is more appealing to the masses.

Who helped with this?
The great @p5woody did the artwork and the amazing @AK Chip did the stamping. @navels, @colter ripton, @CraigT78, and others helped throughout the years to retrieve these.

That $1 chip color is a little funky. What's up with that? And all 312?
Finding enough Roman molds to spread a multi-table cash game is tricky. Fortunately, I was able to make it pretty close to Vegas colors. As for spot pattern, 312 is the least rare. There's a chance to add a solid frac and 41x $500, but no rush.

Weren't you planning to have these milled?
Yes, but this mold was a beast to mill without going extremely slow to avoid excessive melting. With 2,000+ chips, needed a more scalable solution.

Why should I care that you made another dog tribute set?
Meh, no particular reason. Though having a 2,000+ chip Roman mold set, all compiled after the mold was retired, is pretty unique I'd figure.

Are you offering samples?
I don't sell samples. However, I do occasionally give away samples to friends. Let me assess the extra inventory to see what's available.

Ok, enough talk - onto the pics....

Thanks Rick, and everyone who has taken the time to like, PM, and text their kind words. I'm truly humbled by the great feedback.

To be honest, I was convinced that these would be received very poorly, whether folks didn't like the playability of the mold, didn't appreciate the dog tribute, or the limited base/spot colors to choose from. To say I am surprised is an understatement.

Thank you again for putting a smile on my face during an otherwise trying time.

Happy new year everyone!
