ABC Pimped my Chips! Semi-close-ups added! L@@K!. Discuss ABC Pimped my Chips! Semi-close-ups added! L@@K!, on ChipTalk.net the place to go for your Poker chips and gambling tips. Read it in Custom Chip Gallery.
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!!!!!!!!!!!

Reason: More eye catching
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.
