I'm thinking of ordering customs clays from ASM. Could someone be so kind as to explain the process for doing so? I don't have a finalized design for an inlay or anything yet. Just wondering about total costs, total order time, and the process of submitting art, etc. Basically, I'm in the dark about everything. Thanks

Matt,

I am by no means an expert, having only done it once. But since there is no response to your question yet, I thought I would describe my experience.

I got my custom ASMs a couple years ago. The process was very straight forward.

1) I got in contact with a buddy of mine who does CGI work professionally. He was between projects and had some time, so I told him what I had in mind, and he whipped it up fast. I only wanted one inlay, same design on both sides, so that was easy. If you want two different faces, and denominations, etc., then you will need more images. I needed just the one, and he delivered a large JPEG.

2) I contacted pokerchips.com by phone, told them what I wanted. I gave them mold information (roman braid), edge spot style and color combinations, and quantity for each. They gave me an order number and contact for someone to send my inlay image.

3) I emailed the contact person my image.

4) A day or two later I received a "proof" showing my inlay with the edge spot style and color. I approved the proof and off they went. Some initial deposit charged to my credit card.

5) Months later, chips arrived. Elation followed. So did much chip pr0n.

I placed my order a few weeks ago. Here's the process as it was for me.

I sent an email to ASM asking about the availability of a non standard edgespot color.
They replied.
I emailed them again with color combos.
They replied with a mock up of the colors and recommended a couple of changes bc the colors I choose were pretty close.
I replied with the changes and emailed them my inlay art.
They made a mockup and emailed it to me for approval.
I approved and called them with my CC info.
Card was charged and production begins. I was told production time is 3-4 weeks and they will email me a tracking number when they ship.
The time period is coming near and I'm giddy like a little kid on his b-day. Massive chip pron will commence upon arrival.
