See my last post for a couple more pics.
This will be the design ordered per poll ended 11/2/05.
Blue Border to edge of Chip...
11/28/05 - I checked the UPS tracking and the chips are out for delivery to me today 11/28. 11/22/05 I got a call from Jim at NJ and he told me that he had a bit of trouble with the edges on the chips but they would ship Wed 11/23. 
11/11/05 ORDER PLACED WITH NEVADA JACKS Kim from NJ told me that Jim is on vacation until next Tuesday so our 1 week manufaturing starts then. She said the chips should ship by the following Tuesday 11/22. NJ is only a day ship from me so if everthing goes well I should have them Wednesday. I will get them packed and shipped Friday (no later than Saturday). Here are updated lists. If I missed someone let em know. Thanks everyone. Ranman Total ordered and Paid for 770

Updated a couple of qtys and total. 10/25/05 Update: Update qty total, Added total cost examples for Canadian orders. 10/27/05 Update: Updated pic to show new design voted for in recent poll. 10/28/05 Update: Posted correct design pic 
. Updated totals. Added total price samples for those paying with a money order. 10/31/05: There is one last poll open to decide on the final design of the "Show 'Em" chip. I will post the final design when the poll closes. 11/2/05: New design decided and posted 11/3/05: Sent final design to NJ for any pre-order process so the order can be placed and started without delay. Continue to take orders and update totals. 11/8/05: Heard from Jim at NJ. He sees no problem doing the chips as we have requested 
. Update totals. FYI... We are past the minimum order and I know many (including myself) are anxious to get these chips ordered. I want to explain my reason for a longer order period. I still have 8 members from the original Interest list that have not ordered (not that they have to of course). I have had a number of members who had NOT replied to the interest thread that are now ordering chips so that indicates to me that there are still members that may just be aware of the GB. In fact if not for these orders I would still be under the min. I am also awaiting Money Orders from a couple of members. One e-check is pending clearence and a couple of members need a payday to be able to make payment. All of these will be done by order day next Friday. I have sent the final design to NJ for them to do what ever it is they need to do so that when I place the order next week everything will be good to go with no delay (knock on wood 
). I have all the shipping info (that I have received so far) recorded and ready to print shipping labels so I can get your chips shipped very quickly after I get them. I am using the same method as Dwight did for the Bounty chips so if that is any example the chips sould get to everyone (US folks anyway) within a couple of days. I expect that if NJ can keep their mfg as stated on their site you should see your chips before the end of the month. Orders now being taken. It is my plan is to keep the ordering open until Friday 11/11 to allow all intersted time to be able to order chips. This also allows those needing payday and/or sending money orders to pay for their chips. I will stop taking orders at 12:OO Noon EST and have the order ready and sent to NJ that afternoon. If all goes smooth you should see the chips by the end of the month (or sooner). If using Paypal send payment to randymetzger(at)suscom(dot)net (making necessary punctuation changes of course ). Include your name, address and Chiptalk name. If this GB falls through I will of course return your paymants. If you wish to send a Money Order please PM me for the address. I will start a new list of official orders as paid and pending payment (Money Order) here... Current total of interest thread- 540 (Bingo!!!

As mentioned in my post below I will be using the payment/shipping structure that was used in the bounty GB. Here is that info from Dwight87's post (thanks again Dwight)...
I have not received the pricing from NJ yet but this should be close enough to help you esimate how many you may want. I will confirm the price when I hear from NJ
Pricing
I would like to group these chips by sets of ten. Ten chips will cost $11 plus shipping to you. Twenty chips will cost $22, thirty chips cost $33 and so on.
The $11 covers ten chips, shipping to me, and PayPal fees.
Shipping
Option 1 - Standard US Mail. A flat $2 per ten chips to cover a padded envelope
and 1st-class postage. If you want more than ten chips, use the Priority Mail option.
Option 2 - Priority Mail. A flat $4 for up to 8 sets of 10/set. This includes a delivery confirmation number. If you want more than 80 chips, PM me your zip code and I will calculate your shipping cost via
www.usps.com.
For Canadian shipping the price of $4 for sm envelope (10-30 chips) and $7 for lg (40-80).
International addresses, PM me your address and quantity of chips and I will calculate your shipping via
www.usps.com
I will be using USPS, global priority flat rate envelopes for international orders if you want to calculate the cost yourself, sm envelope (for 10-20 chips), lg envelope (30-80 chips).
Payment (Time is now
)
PayPal (preferred): Be sure to write your chiptalk userid in the message box when paying with PayPal. That way I will know who to list here as paid.
Money Orders: PM me for my address. Note that your order will not be considered paid until the money order is received. As with PayPal, note your chiptalk userid on the money order so that I know who you are.
Here are some examples of your total cost for US members:

I had mentioned in the previous thread that the poll for Marbeled or Non-marbled border would end today. So with the votes gathered Marbled is the winner.
I was also waiting to see how the Bounty chips came out before proceeding to get info.
Since the bounty's seem to be well received I have contacted NJ and sent the pic of the chip to get updated info on price, minimums etc (pretty sure it will be the same as the Bounty Chip). I have asked them to let me know if extending the blue marble to the rolling edge is possible.
I am assuming the minimum will be 500 chips. I would like to get more info on who is interested.
I am in for at least 50 but would be willing to make up the difference if it gets close. I'm sure some of my poker buddies will want some when they seen them later. I will also sell at the GB cost to those who may miss the GB or want more.
This will be the offical interest thread.
They would ship from PA zip 17356. I will ship USPS (the same shipping as the bounty's).
Thanks
Randy
