Does ASM sell samples?

I want to get some ASMs and get them stamped by another CT member since the ASM hotstamp is pretty .... boring.
So I wanted to get him some a-mold chips first so he can test if it works.
Does anyone know if ASM sells samples?

I got samples, one of every color. They were circle/square solids as this is the mold they sell blank. They also included one chip of each mold but some had inlays ('A' mold and HH mold)

Best bet is to phone them.... very helpful people

Edit... oh yeah I had to buy them

if you call and ask they'll send you a few on the house, but if you want one of each color I'm pretty sure you can buy them.

From ASM:

"The samples for all plain chips are normally on the circle square mold as we don't make all the plain chips on any other mold unless we have an order for them. We may not have all the day glow colors in stock as well but we would send you them in a chip that is using them for spots so that you can see the colors. You can also have samples of some of the other molds for .50 cents as well. We normally have them all in stock but I cant' promise that we do as well. But if you let me know which ones your really interested in I will do my best to make sure that they find at lease one of that specific mold for you."

Seems easy enough. You can pretty much get all the samples you want for $.50 each. I'm interested in a full 21-color solid sample set, plus a few HH, H-mold, A-mold, FDL, and Cards&Dice. Just because they don't have a mold in the rotation doesn't mean they don't have any samples of it sitting around - the worst they can say is no.

Edit - DUH, I want a couple 44mm samples too.
