ASM Proofs approved today!

Just got my proof sheet from Sandy at ASM for our new cash game chips from the ASM special CT offer back in April.

Sandy and I have been working on dailing in her Adobe Illustrator color swatches and have improved it dramatically, thus the reason it took us this long to get to the proofing stage.

My digi-sheet came in today (using the new color chart to match to chip bodies and spots) and was promptly approved.

100 of the 50 cents
600 of the $1.00
200 of the $5.00
100 of the $25.00 (I can dream, can't I?)

1000 total set.

Should I call David Blaine and see if it's possible to hold my breath for 2-3 months now?

Man do I know that feeling, I placed my order on April 16th and my artwork was approved on April 26th. That seems like an eternity ago.... and I still have at least another month.

Your chips are gonna look great, can't wait to see the pics of the actual chips.

Well it took mine an extra month for me to approve because we were making color charts and test prints. Once I got started on my chip color matching, I just decided to overhaul her entire color chart.

She implied that maybe, just maybe she could nudge my order forward for the the work I put into color charts, but didn't promise me anything. Either way, it will be worth the wait, I know for sure!

Very nice. I just approved mine this morning as well. Wanna race?

Sandy suggested I take up crossword puzzles to help pass the time.

Love the design question the reason for different curves on the top and bottom of the colored background banner?

No offense, but I'd put good money on my order to come in first.

Sandy sent me a big "thank you" for working on the color charts and was going to see if my order could be moved to the top of the heap.

Honestly it just didn't look right when they were exactly the same. They started to look like they wanted to be "something" instead of just a design element.

So by making the top curve a little tighter to hold the denom, it just seemed to fit better.

Besides it's the one my wife liked best of the 5 or so variations I showed her, and she didn't like both the curves being the same since they didn't "hold the same amount of information" which was good enough for me.

Those look terrible. If you send them to me, I will see to it that they are disposed of properly...

In the event that you decide to keep them, take lots of pictures when you get them in...
