The theme was The Finnegan Club.

Custom Chipcos thru homepokerchips.com:

Here's my breakdown...
$1 x 200
$5 x 325
$25 x 275
$100 x 125
$500 x 75

Tourneys run homepokertourney style so heavy in the 5's & 25's as opposed to a Foxwoods structure where I'd go heavy in the 25's & 100's.

For most cash games the $25's are 25¢ and the $1 & $5's are face. For lower limits the values are 1/100 of face.

I've told you this before Fins, but what the heck, it's a different forum. Your chips rock.

Great chips.

When did you get them and how much of the design work did you do yourself vs done by chipco?

I've been wondering this for a while, but are those home chips or do you own a pub? For some reason I see Finnegan's as a nice Irish beer tavern with wooden spool tables and people yelling, "Yi-'m oll 'n mayte."

lol. Those are some of the nicest chipco's I have seen. Good work.

Finns your chips are just outstanding.

I'm not a chipco fan myself, but if I had to have such a kickass design for my chips, I'd totally buy some :)

Ok. First great chips, really, those are as nice as any chipco's I have seen. Second, I want to play with em! Where in the ATL are you and do you need an extra guy? I am half serious... I live up in Marietta and if your action is not too steep, I'd love to come by and play some time.

Hi Leonard,
Thanks. I saw Miksen's chips on 2+2 and loved the look so I based my design using a similar wrap... even though the spots didn't match up I liked the look. In the gallery the first pic is what I went to homepokerchips.com with which I felt needed something more. They were great to work with in all respects but especially Patrick, the graphic artist. Came up with the logo idea just because I was looking for something different than poker room, casino etc... Did the design in photoshop which all had to be redone in Illustrator as that's format Chipco needs. The card graphic inlays are a king & two queens cause we're a family of three... we have a little girl plus I've always liked the Palms chips that using playing card backgrounds.

I'm assuming it's your Decarlo chip design I've seen posted... have you picked out a final yet. Been so busy I don't think I've had a chance to comment but I like the base design and it looked like it was comming along.

Got to go... little one's in desperate need of attention

Thanks everyone I post some more responses later just been pretty busy right now. Have a good holiday!

Thanks for the reply. I have sent my original design to homepokerchips.com. i received an email from them as well as a link to a web page unique to my order that lists its status.
I am waiting for them to send me back their version and I will post it when I get it.

Just a home set but the ale's frequently flowin'! There's an old style Finnegan's Wake Pub in Key West that we really liked

! There's also an Irish Kevin's which we thought was pretty funny. Also, used to be a Finnegan's liquor store in Savannah that I thought should have offered me a discount!
