Look GREAT! Love the color combos but I couldn't get a good look at the inlays. Could you take a pic of the chips straight on? Awesome. Enjoy.

Looks like you oiled those chips? Horsehead mold, my favorite.

Nice looking chips!

What colors did you use?

This is the best I can do. My camera sucks, so when I take a straight-on shot, the flash reflects too greatly off the chips. Unfortunately, the blue is still a little out of focus.

I have 1000 total with the following breakdown:

200 grey/dayglow peach
200 green/dayglow pink
300 blue/yellow
300 red/imperial blue

The chips in the pics have been oiled.

where'd you get custom chips from? Can you give me a little bit of info on this? Thanks man.

Re: Custom Chip Pics (Large Images)
 

I got the chips from pokerchips.com. They were .50 each and I got to pick the colors and mold. I made the labels myself. The labels cost around $50 total to make, but putting them on was a pain.

Re: Custom Chip Pics (Large Images)
 

wow, you labeled those yourself? How's that working for you? Does it seem like the labels are raise up since ASM's don't have a recessed inlay area? Are they going to peel off?

Really nice looking chips!

The horsehead mold does have a recessed inlay. You can peel the labels off if you pick at them with a knife or something similar, but I haven't had any trouble with them during play. I have been shuffling and twirling the extras that they sent all day at the office for three months and the labels are still perfect.

Is the picture of the grey chips relatively accurate? It looks very light, and almost like a true white color as opposed to the off-white color that ASM uses as their white.

Re: Custom Chip Pics (Large Images)
 

The grey looks lighter in the pics, but it is still a very light gray, similar to the color of the background of the Internet Explorer toolbar.

Unfortunately, the Roman mold is not recessed, or not enough for labels to be applied without affecting the chips. A sample label a friend gave me resulted in a raised, slick surface that made my chips slide much too easily.

I liked the monkey cartoons!

Looking good! What was turnaround time for the blank chips for pokerchips.com and are those 1 inch labels on there?

Re: Custom Chip Pics (Large Images)
 

It took a very long time for the chips to arrive. I ordered them in early September 2004 and they didn't arrive until the end of February. They also made a mistake with the 200 green (wrong mold), but it only took them ~2 weeks to ship the correct chips after they received the defective ones. Yes, the labels are 1 inch in diameter. They fit perfectly into the recessed inlay.

I am organizing a group buy for ASM clay chips at chiptalk.net

Cathy from http://www.pokerchips.com has quoted me discounts on a group buy of ASM chips. Here are the terms:

1) Group buy is on HorseHead Mold (since I can only pick 1 mold and this seems to be everyone's favorite) with edge spots and no inlay ONLY.

2) Everyone gets to pick their own color combinations.

3) Regular retail prices are $0.50 per chip. Discounts are 10% for 10,000 chips ($0.45 each) and 20% up to 20,000 chips ($0.40 each) ordered.

I want to see how much interest there are out there. I think this is a HUGE discount for so little chips ordered.

Nice chips. Funny thing is, that white chip, it wasn't ALWAYS evil......
