Apologies for some of the poor pictures. I'll eventually take some better ones. I ordered 1400 of the new spots including three new non-denomination chips.

My original chip gallery can be found here.



















And here are the new pics. Place down here rather than above for your convenience. New 1k, new 5k, three new non-denoms and some tournament family portraits.

Nice! I like these even more on the H-mold. Gives them a real classic old-school look.

Boy those are some beautiful chips -- can't wait to see them "in the clay," so to speak. Congratulations!!

Lovin' the blue $1 even more with the 4spot.

So... are you going to mix them for play? That'd be kinda cool.

Do you remember when you had those a-molds made? Those were state of the art, top notch customs. None better.

The new ones simply blow the originals away.

Oh sweet mother, I love that white/yellow/chocolate combo. I ordered white/yellow/black (homage to the Steelers) and every time I see that color combo. . . . I kind of wish that I had ordered it. Great chips man! The originals were nice, but the spot and mold changes are killer.

Great post!

Thanks for taking the time to set-up all the comparison pics...I agree that the new ones are phenomenal.

Yeah, the blue 4 spot is much better. It's also more Greek flaggy.

And I'm definitely going to mix them for play. Already did so Saturday (they arrived Sat morning). I kind of had to - as I've only received 100 of the 200 blacks I ordered. But I chose the new spot colors to be similar to the originals so I'd be able to have them in play together.

Heh, so true. Amazing how far things have come in the past year. And thanks. Between the H mold, 1/4" spots, sharpened graphics, I'm very pleased with the new chips!

Of course, only one player from Saturday was really digging the new chips. One thought I was nuts for getting more, and two others realized the black chips were new (both types in play) - but didn't know the purples were different. They've been playing with the originals every other week since I got them last year. The rest didn't say anything about them. Viva CT!

Well yeah man... if I *wasn't* a CT member and you didn't tell me that the $1 chips were "new this week" I'd probably never know until I noticed there were two different spots/molds. Fact is, they blend beautifully.

Spacemonkey's cardroom does a grand re-opening with a new rack! Of course, management is "thrifty" so the old chips are still in circulation too!

So cool.

I didn't even noticed the sharper graphics! Its VERY evident on the pic above that has the two owl chips side by side. I wonder how much of that is attributable to the change in artists between your first and second orders.

I had also missed that on first viewing.

cliff's notes: click on the pic of the yellows, the one on the left is much sharper

Wow. Those graphics are a LOT sharper. TONS. Yet another "character difference" between your old and new ones.

Just think, you can do a greek new year chip every year and then you'll be JUST like a casino!
