BCC Custom w/o denominations?

Wizard · #1 (**permalink**) 02-07-2007, 07:24 PM

I'm getting really close to finishing my design for some custom chips...after over a year of churning out ideas. I prefer to go with the BCC because of the inlay and edge spot options, although I prefer the ASM horsehead mold over the flame mold. So, anyways, now I have to consider the cost of getting these babies made.

By not having denominations on the chips, I can save some cash, which makes it a little easier to move forward. The thing I'm not sure about is that I have always planned on using unconventional color choices for the set, which would seem to make it confusing. I don't want to keep reminding people what chip is what, it'll just take away from the game. Is this really an issue or am I nuts?

I realize that not having denoms adds some versatility to the set, which I like. Still, those values seem to add some legitamacy to a chip in my mind.

Enough of my rambling. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks!

If you do mostly turnys then non denom is fairly easy for the players. If you do cash then the denoms help more IMHO...
You could always stay with no denoms and get a Chip Tree and list the chip values on that.

Hello:

If you can make an effort go for the denoms. Just a tougth

Trust me! go with denoms. You do not want to remind players one after another what the damm value is. From a design point of view, chips just look unfinished without denoms.

I think I just got confused as to the fees for inlays. I'll just have to do the logical thing and call them up to figure out what the fees actually are.

Unless the people you play with are idiots, then it shouldn't be an issue. Recently hosted a game at my place, and a friend brought over his new set, which is non-denom and non-traditional colors. There was NO need to keep reminding people what was what.

the best thing to do is call them. However, as I recall during their special offer, for $200 you may have 1 inlay design with 4 denoms

I guess we are just different. I personally enjoy playing with idiots. From my experience (and may i say for others on this board) that some people ask you repeatedly even with denoms

The special is over now

so it's $150/denom or inlay design.
