ASM HH factory w/ labels vs. applying your own labels after

bsoder52 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-17-2005, 02:52 PM

OK,

So I'm still considering throwing my name back in the hat for the ASM HH group buy, but I'm really worried about applying labels myself after the fact.

Does anyone have some solid examples of the ASM HH with labels applied afterwards?

Has anyone played with this type of set-up for awhile.

My concern is that since the label area isn't recessed the labels will experience too much wear and tear during play and loose color and rub off too quickly.

Anyone who can shed some light on this?

First, the horsehead mold does have a recessed inlay.

Here is a link to a thread at 2+2 with pictures of my chips and answers to your questions

Welcome Joshua!
Any chance you have a blank HH chip with no inlay or label? Can you measure how deep the recess is?

(Nice chips, BTW)

Thanks for the post Joshua!

Wondering why in the ASM HH Group buy post the gal from ASM told us that there is no recession on the HH chips then?

Maybe it's just too small of a recession to notice?

Very interested in how deep the recession is Joshua, also, what size labels did you use?

Thanks,

Hi,

The recession is very shallow, about as thin as a slice of paper or two. As far as measuring the depth, I don't have a tool to make such a fine measurement. I used 1" clear matte labels that I ordered from http://www.onlinelabels.com/ol1025.htm

Thanks for the additional information!
OK, back to the ASM HH groupbuy page to express interest again!

Can you take a string of pictures of your chips from directly on the side so we can get a look at what we'd be looking at?

To do so, I recommend the following:

- Put a chip on the table with your camera as close as you can get a focus on it.

- Snap picture 1.

- Stack a chip on top of the first chip.

- Snap picture 2.

- Stack another

... And so on. With any luck we'll have a decent enough side-shot to determine if they're really sitting on their sides or on the labels. Thanks!
