comparable blanks of the Palms chips

Hi,
i love the Palms chips, because of their nice blanks.
There is a little "BG" printed on them. So do you know where i can get those blanks(S stands for sunfly, so for what stands BG?)? Or comparable blanks to that. I think it's a ceramic one, cause the Palmslabel is printed on them. They are textured all over the top side ant the buttom side. the edges are nearly sharp. I think the most of you know, which chips i mean.

I need the blanks for a custom set with own design.
Thank you

The BG stands for "Bourgogne et Grasset", one of the parties of GPI Gaming (like Paulson, Bud Jones etc.).

Yes, it is a ceramic chip. But you won't be able to buy the blanks. Only way to get a similiar blank is either Sun-Fly or ChipCo.

You know that the Palms had his lawyers go aggro last time someone wanted to do Replicas of these, right? I told you on the german forum already.

If you want a custom ceramic chip that feels closest to a B&G, get textured Sunflys.

I really like the new blank from site sponsor ABCgiftsandawards.com. In terms of texture from smoothest to roughest: Sunfly smooth, ABC, Chipco, Sunfly textured. Chipcos still stack the best if there are no spinners in the stack, followed by ABC. ABC has the best print quality.

Sunfly's website has a link to purchase blank white ceramic chips. I think the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is pretty high though.

Ordering blanks? you wanna kinda paint them by hand with easter egg dye?

But I'd love to see Gene's (ABCgifts) face when you ask him for Palms replicas.

By the way, did anybody see another casino using B&G ceramics? If B&G, they mostly use the composite plastic chips, don't they?

These would be the most customized ceramics, cause the same denomination would be different too.
