Design review for the Pharaoh's Club Paulson chips

[Coleman]

I have a preference for freehand drawings as opposed to photos here. Since we're going classic, photos are a bit of a compromise.
The No. 2 example in your first post was most fetching. Can we see more along those lines?

Yes, that's exactly the direction I'm going.

Will samples of the new Paulson mold be revealed prior to April 17th? It seems so far away...

gotta get the sphinx in there somewhere!

This whole idea sounds great. Where can I sign up? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

by the way i would definitely be interested in 1000-1500 chips.

I'm also interested in 500-1000 chips, but I'm not 100% in for sure yet (till I'm sure I can scare up the bankroll). I do have a couple thoughts for what they're worth:

1. Looking at the different molds at http://www.trademarkpoker.com/paulson.asp
I like the mold with the thinner rim and larger inlay area (the James Bond mold) rather than the mold with the thicker rim and smaller inlay area (the new stock mold), assuming you are able to get them to make the inlay large enough to cover the area (which I know is uncertain at this point).

2. Are these chips going to be available for general purchase after this group buy, like your Egyptian ChipCo's? It would be nice on one hand to "discontinue" the production of the chips so we would all have a unique set of chips. On the other hand, it would also be nice to be able to buy extras/replacements if necessary, although if you choose colors that are the same as the Standard Stock or James Bond Paulsons, I guess we could just buy Stock/JB's to supplement our sets if necessary.

Anyway, looking forward to how these things turn out. I really like the initial mockups (#2 of course like everyone else).

I think I can have some more graphics to show you in a day or two. Before I post the whole set, I want to fine tune some more items with the artist. We've got the theme flat out perfect, and I'm now choosing the graphic for each chip.

(Hint: Wouldn't Anubis be perfect for the black $100!?)

We're close though, and they're looking good!

Ok the Anubis hint was enough to pull me out of lurk mode. I'm in for 500-100 depending on price and time frame.

Im in for 500-1000 as well (if we are going for paulson, also depending on time frame).. great job so far [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Boy, this Anubis thing is turning into a real "Lone Ranger" moment for me. You know, how a whole generation of people can't hear the William Tell Overture without shouting "Hiyo, Silver!" or others can't hear the Blue Danube Waltz without thinking of shuttles docking with space stations?

You guys keep talking about Anubis, and I keep having Stargate SG-1 flashbacks.

I'm hopelessly lost in pop-culture.

Bah. These sound great, I think I will have to commit to 500 at least. One problem for me is being in the UK -- shipping and customs will be a nightmare. Although I guess I could get the chips delivered to a friend in the US and pick them up on my next visit... very interested to hear any more estimates about the time frame for project completion, Ten, as more info becomes available.
