Design review for the Pharaoh's Club Paulson chips

[kgdakid21]

Bud Jones unfortunately does not sell chips to the public.

I am in for at least 650.

The CUSTOM MOLD idea is way over the top. HOld out for that.

I got my paulson bond samples today, and I like them. They are a bit too bright and look like a cartoon. It would be nice to have the large denoms for tourneys. May not look good w/the egyptian artwork, but what do I know. I trust TEN's judgement.

What I really think is that the "Poker Theme" has been done to death. Enough with the chips, cards, tables, dealers, +EV and tourneys already.

Maybe the next set of custom group buy whatever it may be should be non-denominated. It'll make it more flexible for those who want to use the chips for a cash game or tournament.

TR King is not and option because of chips size, despite their good quality.

Ten, I'm confused by this statement - do you mean they are not an option because the chips are 0.5 mm smaller than the "standard" chip size (because that's what Paulsons are)? But ASM is an option even though they are 0.5 mm larger than the Paulsons? (see here). I'm just not following the logic, because T.R. King is the only place where you are going to be able to get any variability in edge spot design (aside perhaps from Matsui, which I know nothing about). Or perhaps I completely misunderstood what you meant...? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Well, part of it is "a little smaller" is worse than "a little bigger." When TR King is in a line of ANY other chips, it looks to small. But what it really comes down to is that I like ASM chips more than I like TR King.

I feel compelled to say the following:

1) I doubt that Paulson is going to budge on color, edge spots or mold
2) I'm happy enough with the CdIC chips at Dice702, that I'd sooner buy them than take a chance on another brand
3) If this buy goes ahead with Paulson, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll prolly just get the CdICs instead.

TenPercenter's definitely the bee's knees when it comes to designing chips, and I'd be delighted to buy more of his, but I do have my standards.

[Jaquen H'gar]

Has anyone asked ASM if they are willing to lift their restriotions re single wide edge spot for a 100,000 chip order? At some point, money talks and BS walks. The question is what point Paulson, Matsui, and ASM have in mind.

Don't take offense CM, and I want you to feel welcome on the forum. 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?

Yea.. well I never even knew you were behind those Egyptian Chips. I guess anyone who designed those is free to do whatever the heck he wants. Those came out GREAT and almost bought a set until I noticed Paulson's return

I thought this was interesting, there actually is a Pharaohs casino. It's in Nicaragua. Link
