How far from Chicago are you? I would be up for a CT game and I'm sure a lot of the other Chicagoland CT'rs would be too

3ish hours from downtown. Takes me 3.5ish to get to my brother's house in Crystal Lake. Can be to the skyway in 2:15ish.

I know there's a couple Indy guys here too...

Very nice chips, these are really classy. The gradient turned out amazing.

Can we please have some more pictures, i.e. in the pot type vs posed set up pics?

I just received my little package and... wow... they are even more amazing in person than in the pics. These turned out like little pieces of art instead of poker chips.

Congratulations to you Drew on IMHO the best looking set out there right now. And congratulations to ASM as well on an amazing job of tweaking the inlay and doing the colour matching. The gradient matches are perfect.

Only two spots on the whole set are not quite perfect. The DG yellow on the white $1 chip is hard to see in my crappy light, and the red and brown spots on the 25 are quite similar. The 100 and the 25cent are my favorites.

Awesome chips.

Thanks squiggly! Glad they got there safe!

And I must say, I knew going in that I wouldn't get the spots perfect, but I'm pleasantly surprised that there are relatively few changes I would make overall.

#1 - I'd change the spots on the T25, as you mentioned. Not necessarily because they are to close together (which I was surprised at how similar the Red and Chocolate look), but because I wish I would have done a lighter spot. If I were able to redo them, I'd do grey and green spots on the DG Green chip (maybe grey and chocolate, because the chocolate looks good there).

#2 - I'd consider changing the #1, although I do kind of like the DGYellow spot. It was meant to be a subtle 3rd spot. Plenty of things I'd consider here for alternative options, but overall I still like the chip.

#3 - I would change the T5000, but I knew that going in. When I submitted the order I couldn't figure out a combo I liked on that chip, so I only ordered 25. But, I am pretty sure now that I would get just a Grey with 412 hot pink spots, instead of hot pink and chocolate.

But, I love most of the decisions and am thrilled with the set. Thanks for the compliments

Outstanding set of chips! I am quickly becoming a fan of ASM produced chips! These are all gorgeous, but if I were to pick favorites - I would say the $1 and T5000 chips stand out to me! Congratulations on a set to be extremely proud of.......

I drooled all over the pr0n posted here.

I've now (figuratively) drooled all over the real thing.

All I have to say is these look SO MUCH BETTER in person than they do in photos.

The color match fade is spot on, the spot combos are insane and overall this is one of the hottest sets to come through CT in quite some time.

So, where's the voting for the next calendar??? I'm ready to place my vote.

Very well done, and thanks for the trade!
