Matching Nevada Jack Colors for PokerChips.com Chips

mwgr5 · #1 10-09-2004, 01:42 AM

I'm looking in to purchasing clay chips from pokerchips.com without labels. I was visiting holempokerchips.com and came accross these Nevada Jacks Clay Chips. They look exactly like chips from pokerchips.com. I began comparing colors and determined the set contained colors: white, grey, red or mandarin red w/yello edge spot, blue or imperial blue w/ white edge spots, and green w/ D.G pink or pink edge spots. First, does pokerchips.com manufacture these chips. Second, what do you think the colors of these chips are? I determined that if these are from pokerchips.com that I could purchae 300 white and grey chips, and 300 of the other colors with edge spots for around $250. Seems like a very good deal for chips that are being sold with a nevada jacks logo for $740. Thanks

Pokerchips.com chips are actually made by a company called ASM (atlantic standard molding - i think).

NJ may have used the same manufacturer but I am not so sure.

If you are wanting denominated chips that are not custom to you, I think there are alot of good options including this one especially if you can get them cheap.

I personally like the james bond chips myself.

Nevada Jacks has claimed to make all their own chips, even the ceramic ones. I can't say for sure, maybe someone else can clarify (Patton?). I've wondered this myself.

Those Nevada Jack chips you are refering to are made by ASM.
They are:
.25c = White
.50c = Grey
$1 = Blue/White
$5 = Red/Yellow
$25 = Green/DayGlo Pink
$100 = Black/Orange
$500 = Purple/Lavendar

The mold used is the "Nevada Dice" mold. This mold is owned
by Nevada Jack himself. It was a mold used by casino's in years
past, but is now only used by NJ for this one design.
ASM no longer makes these chips, if you look at the chips on
NJ's site you will see that they are now different chips.

You could most definitly build a custom set from Pokerchips.com
for less than these a chip. They could in fact be the exact same colors
as these chips, they would though, not be on the same mold as
these chips, they would be the same mold as everyone else that
uses Pokerchips.com uses, they also would not make it to you
before Xmas, where these would be in your hand for next weekends
game.

One thing that continues to make me wonder about the home chip
markets is that someone will pay crazy prices for something
like this Ebay Auction that uses the same mold
for every chip they make, but is a "casino" chip, but a chip
on a unique mold like these, made to higher quality standards,
by a chip maker that was the orginal "casino" chip supplier
get very little attention.

Thanks alot for that post. This really clears things up for me. I was comparing colors for these chips to pokerchips.com and thought that the green chips had pink edge spots. Are you sure that they are acutally D.G pink edge spots. Also do you think it will be visually unappealing to have solid wihte and grey clay chips without any center custom graphic. Thanks.

You gotta admit Michael, those are beautiful chips! However, you are 100% right about the price. $2 a chip? When will it end?

I think you should offer Pauls-son's at your store, for $2 a chip, to make people realize the great value they get with the Chipco's, NJ comps, and the MG chips. Plus you'll be offering the name brand clays to those who really want them.

Ten,
You are probably correct. I have been offered Paulson chips
many times. Usually at $1.50 +. Not much margin there, so they
then become "eye candy" so to speak.

When will it end???? Anyone remember Beanie Babies?

Isn't the BIG difference the edge spot variation. If you have different sizes of mutli-color edge spots available to you it makes the chips much more appealing. I think that if places like pokerchips.com offered this on custom orders then the paulsons wouldn't be so special. Why won't they offer this for custom orders?
