First off, Gene-Gene-the-Chip-Making-Machine at ABCGiftsandAwards.com reigns supreme! He helped me make my dream a reality by owning my first truely custom set of chips. He was very helpful in the design and was helpful in his suggestions as well. I think his design work has been nothing short of incredible for ALL chip sets I've seen so far!

My set is a tip of the cap to Bud Jones and my favorite author/artist of all time Charles Bukowski (as I've bored you all with before). This is a cash game set for my home poker league in Clinton. Our cash games range from .25/.50 limit to 3/6 limit -or- .25/50 NL to 1/2 NL.

I had an idea just before production to "Pimp My Chips" so I contacted Gene and told him my idea on the $3 chip. Already an odd denomination I though it would be clever to really go over the top (DOLEMITE-style).

Let me know what you guys think...oh yeah...I have one spot left in tomorrow night's Omaha PL tournament ($20 buy-in) if any of you are interested in driving out here!

I'm getting these in the mail tomorrow before the game!!!! Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the way those came out. They look quite a bit like a Bud Jones chip. Very nice combos!

Those are very nice! Gene doesnt A+++++++++ work in his little shop.

They look great. Very nice. How do they feel/stack? If you don't mind me asking, how much were they?

EDIT- Also, do you mind trying to post up bigger & more close-up pictures? Thanks..

DOESNT?

Brent-

I'll get some close-ups of the faces and the stacks when I get them in my grubby hands tomorrow. These were pre-ship pics that Gene very thoughtfully put together for me!

I wanted to keep the Bud Jones look while taking advantage of the ceramic customizing of the edge spots with text. They all read "CPT" and the denom.

I opted for the textured version rather than the smooth. I've gotten custom chips from Gene in the past (12 of them) and the textured chips stack like a dream. Very flat and don't budge at all when bumped.

More when I get them tomorrow,

Thanks for all the feedback..I'm psyched!

Good Luck with your first game. They look great

[TechnoGuru]

Very nice set... Congrats!

It used to be weeks/months between nice customs. Now it is becoming a daily photofest of great personalized chips.

Those look good so far! I agree, post bigger and closer pics when you get a chance.

Very cool. Looking forward to some close up shots.

Is Bukowski still the most stolen author? Haven't seen the list in a while, but imagine he's still up there.

Props to Gene as well. Got my Show 'em (with the image on the side) and Rabbit Season chips today. Sweet chips and super fast shipping.
