Damn, Ten.

I originally wasn't sure if I was into the Egyptian theme or not. Just this last post, with the collection of pictures has changed my mind.

I can't commend you enough on the job you've done. Thanks.

Hey Ten,
I remember you posting that the plagues fit in the card slots of a case. Do you know how many will fit in each slot? I'm trying to figure out what kind of set to order. I don't really need the oct's or plagues but I just can't resist getting some of each. I bought 600 Nevada Jacks last month, didn't expect these to be available so soon. Also the pricing came in quite a bit under what I was expecting. Great job on working that out. I'll be placing my order soon. Just have to decide on the configuration.

peace.

Found the case $30 cheaper thanks to a Google search. $99.99 and only $2.95 shipping!

I do not know how these will be shipped. Maybe in a padded mailer.
The Octagons are 1.732" wide. This should allow two stacks in a card
slot in a case. My only option at this time.
These should be available to ship about Feb 14th. I will have
a closer date once we have paid for an order

Thank you very much, that means a lot. I am very proud of them and I think of them more as heirlooms at this point.

Fitting in cases: Some slots may have 44mm to hold the octagons. If not, they can sit a little slanted and fit? Or we can research cases that have wide enough slots. For the plaques: They'll fit in card deck slots! Almost all cases have card slots. I already measured my mahogony cases and I can fit 28 plaques in the cards slots. I dont travel with them, so it's not problem. (I just measured one of my cheap aluminum cases and I can get 18+ in there too)

Ok, calling all designers. (Hint: Johnny5)

I guess since I have nothing else to do but wait for chips, I need to design the $25,000 plaque. My main motivation is somehow integrating the following image into a plaque:

I am, of course, kidding.

(p.s. I think this artwork is a freath of bresh air for the board, as well as in keeping with the theme of my chips. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I will remove it though if it is breaking any board rules)

Kidding aside, do you plan on making a $25K plaque? I was in the original order and am more than happy with the set I have now. I'll probably order a small number of the new additions just to complete the set but, if there's yet another one in the works, I'd just as soon wait and order the 25c, 1K, and 5K chips with the 25K. It doesn't make much sense to pay shipping twice on two small collections of chips if I can just do it once.

This may be a silly question but what are the octagons and plaques for?

BTW I did order a few samples as I was browsing your link. I'm in the process of getting several samples so when I saw these were available by each I had to grab some.

Very good job you have done.

No G, it won't happen any time soon. I do plan to make one, but probably a year or more down the road. Maybe an Anniversary Addition? Go ahead and order.
