| | | Wylecoyo's Trophy Chips from ABC
I just wanted to create a thread to say thank you to Gene at ABC Gifts and Awards and to circlencircle for helping me with my trophy chips for the last weekly game I will be hosting. In just five days I was able to go from idea to having chips in hand all thanks to these two great people.
I PM'ed Gene with the Idea last Sunday morning and he immediately came up with a basic design which would have suited my needs just fine, but, after requesting ideas, circlencircle came up with a much fancier graphic design in less than 24 hours which Gene then produced Monday morning. Less than 48 hours from my idea, Gene had them made, packaged, and shipped out.
Here is the result, which I couldn't be happier with. They are breath-taking.    
Thanks again to Gene and Eli (circlencircle) for all of their hard work and assistance. I never thought it would be possible to go from start to finish in such a short time. YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Each of you.

Anyway, Gene and Eli both bent over back-wards to help me out on very short notice and I can't thank either of them enough.

This is what I love about this forum - you can see other's excellent ideas, add your own flavor, consult with the business owner directly, get art assistance, and have your dream come true in less than a week!!!!
Great job to all involved!! I am so glad there are others who have done trohpies, chips, etc....to give to their players. From my experience they are always a big hit.
Keep us all in the loop - I'm sure there will be a lot of grateful people at your games when you give these out. Oh yeah, and take pics to post!
