Hi PCF. I am interested in buying a semi-custom set of Tiki Kings poker chips from BR Pro Poker. When searching the internet for real life photos, I discovered this forum here. Thanks for all the useful information here, I already learned a lot! However, the photos I found raised a certain question: are there two (or multiple?) versions of these chips on the market?
The Tiki Kings chips shown in their standard chips section show a border with mostly gray inner and outer circles.
In their semi-custom section, these inner and outer rings always have one of the colors of the zig-zag pattern in between.
What I mean is most visible on the 1s. There seems to be an older "model A" shown here:

This matches real life photos I found here:

The background pattern in gray is much lighter than the ring color.
Additionally, there seems to be a "model B"

which matches newer real life photos I found, e.g. here:

The background pattern in these photos shows a much darker gray, the same as the rings. All in all, the "model B versions" share the same Tiki images, but -- at least for me -- the background seems to be redrawn with less detail.
What would I get if I order standard or semi-custom Tiki chip? Is it always the (presumably newer) "model B"? Can someone of the chip experts here please enlighten me? I already found out that BR Pro Poker was bought by same other chip vendor. Perhaps it has something to do with it?
Edit: Links fixed. Is there a good way to included images from this forum directly?
