The New Plaques are in!

It seems like it took a lifetime for these to finally get here. There were many hicups along the way...

But they are finally here. I nit-picked a lot of the details which slowed the process down.

These were initially sold in my Sponsored Forum. The 1Ks sold out before they even got here! The pics are horrible, but the plaques have a ton of personality. These turned out as well as I could have hoped. The continuity between the tower and liberty plaques is perfectly in sync.

These photos are terrible but I'm sure you'll enjoy. Better pics to come later

$1000 Tower Plaque

Here are some $5000 Liberty plaques for reference

The Chicago Meet-up Main Event is called the "Windy City Blowout". These were made for this great gathering. Notice the serialized numbering in the upper right. Only 100 made. These will be used in the ME then claimed by those who paid for them. If these don't sell out before the meet-up they will be available in a M2M later.

Thanks for your patience! You're plaques will be sent early next week!

Betting with a stack of plaques seems like a lot of fun, at least in my mind.

Anyone care to describe how it goes?
I can imagine clacking and plastic slapping sounds.

BTW, the Windy City Blowout is my favorite. I love the two different orientations of the image versus the denomination at the short end.

The $1000 NY plaque is sick as well.
Nothing like nitpicking until you get it right!

Bravo! I can't wait to fondle some Windy City Plaques. I'll have to ask someone who makes the final table nicely....

Wow, incredible! They almost make we want to buy some of the PNY's, just so that I'll be able to get the plaques that go with them. That's a pretty big investment just for some plaques, but those designs are so good it might just be worth it...!
