| Oops. Meant those as suggestions for possible polls, not questions. Sorry about that!
A ha! I see the full contest rules do spell a lot of these things out. My bad. |

"Every member of ChipTalk who chooses may pre-buy the winning chips at 79˘ each (roughly 35% off retail) for up to 30 days after the contest winner is announced"
Is this pricing set in stone?
As I can see the price of this set to be very expensive to manufacture - huge variety of edge spots, shaped inlays... along with BC (it is BC that will be producing these?) increasing pricing by 10c/chip. |

Although Sidepot may not make much at all on the first sets, they also get a wonderful desgin and a lot of exposure. It's good for them and us.
And yes, it is BC: But they asked us not to throw the name around so much so as not to scare off casinos. |

As far as the shaped inlays I think you need to contact BC and be clear that these are actual shaped inlays and not simulated such as the Turf Club chips. I would be willing to bet that real shaped inlays are not an option unless BC has recently purchased the equipment to make them.

I just spoke to BC and they said that they would allow true shaped inlays - they do 'round', 'oval' and 'egg'.
(That was funny. Laugh.) |

It is possible to get PMS numbers for designers? It would be nice to have the exact colors that we could be working with.
I understand we are supposed to roundtable the checks we like. Does anyone know some graphic intensive websites that show a lot of casino chips?

Also agree on colors possibly sticking to "standard" casino colors. Boring to some I know but I guess I fall into the traditionalist mold here. |
