Re: Getting our own Mold!
Another option is to use Matsui, and pay setup fee for a mold. I have a quote for $2000 for a new cusom mold. Maybe less with a big enough order. This is a GREAT price, since American chip makers (BC, ASM) will charge $6-7000 for a mold.
If we ordered 50,000 chips, it'd add 4¢ to the chip price. (did I do that math right?) Can you imagine a unique mold, with heiroglyphics around it? Way cool. Just an idea... Ten p.s. If you dont have Matusi clay samples, I highly suggest getting some. [email protected]

Re: Inlays and colors and denoms
FYI, here are all the colors and inlay shapes that I have chosen for this set:
25¢ White - Plain round $1 Blue - Scallop $5 Red - Hub $25 Green - Hex $100 Black - Cog $500 Purple - Saw $1000 Orange - Star (These are the Paulson colors. If we go to a different manufacturer, then we could discuss color choices. ie: avoid white) I can post samples of all of these if necessary. Ten

Re: Design review for the Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson chips
I have been a viewer for quite awhile but this was something that I really want to be a part of. I prefer Option #2. The design looks great but I wonder how it would look in a night-time setting with a moon. I like the Cairo on the bottom. As far as the manufacturer, I would say #1 Paulson #2 Matsui.

Re: The vote is definately in.
There's an overwhelming favorite here for the clay set. I voted #2 as well, which the second person to vote can attest to. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I like the other two designs too, and the third one is definately more suited for a Chipco or a laser printed label. Wonderful work all of you. We have a direction to go in, and I can post mockups of the full set once I forward the request to the designer. Maybe with Tabasco's PhotoShop ASM tool, we can mock up the designs and choose the colors... Ten

I think I will just try to organize a large group-buy of trademark.com's standard inlay design paulson chips.

Re: The vote is definately in.
I think the color choices are going to make or break the chipset. I don't see dayglo anything going well with a theme like this... more subdued greens and maroons combined with rich purples and golds.

Re: The vote is definately in.
Ten, when can we confirm the specifications of the Paulson chip in regards to the inlay size, mold, edge spots, etc.? Are we custom ordering through dice702/apachepokerchips or are we going directly through Paulson? It seems as if with such a large sized order we might be able to go directly through Paulson. I wonder how much Paulson would charge tooling for a custom mold.
This definitely sounds interesting. I've only been ordering small sample sets from all the various group buys, but if this thing goes through I may have to take the plunge and order a set of 500-1000, depending on the price. Oh yea, #2 all the way. Love the font and watermark.

Re: Inlays and colors and denoms (1,000-1,250 chips)
Ten,
I am looking at 1,000 - 1,250 chips. Nice job. I have to admit that I liked some elements of design #3 but I do agree that #2 meets the overall classic look much better. The watermark is cool. It would be nice to see a draft layout of the whole set. I'm curious as to why there is a 25 cent chip but no 50 cent chip. I use the 25 cent chip for small blinds when playing 0.50/1.00 at family get-togethers. They don't get a lot of use and won't get real dirty, so white is good. I have samples of Paulson chips on the way. For a company that is just getting back into the retail/consumer market, I wouldn't be surprised if a custom order is a tough sell. Where can you get a sample of Matsui? I found Matsui's web site but did not see where you can order samples.

But surely you must see my point. If you were organzing a group buy for a western theme and you had a lot of support, why would you change your theme if I came in and said that it would be better to do a Movie Space Ships theme? It's your chip, if you wanted spaceships, wouldn't you have started with them? Ten
