ASM Rounders "Spoof" - Donkey KGB Order Thread *CLOSED*

[jdunford]

Donkey KGB's "Rounders Spoof" chips
Just in time for the 10th anniversary of "Rounders"!



The price per chip depends on spot pattern:
$1.00 for "414" (4-spotted, low-denomination) chips: 1¢, 5¢, 25¢, and 100¢
$1.25 for "614" (6-spotted, high- or non-denominated) chips: 500¢, 2000¢, 10,000¢, and "KGB"
Actual shipping will be added to each order.
E.g., an 8-chip sample set (1 of each) will be $9 + shipping.

Oh, and they'll probably come pre-oiled (a ChipTalk-exclusive bonus) unless there's significant objection.

Here are the current mockups, as rendered by ChipForge:

See http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/group-...tml#post587955.

In short, "maybe". If I decide to order more and there's enough interest, it'll probably be next summer at the earliest.

I just got tracking info... the USA order is in the hands of UPS. It's scheduled for delivery to the "USA hub" on August 27. American participants can expect their chips a few business days after that.

The Germany chips will get there when they get there... (sent from the "USA hub").

Got mine today! They look great...KGB and the 10000 look like candy.

That was quick! I guess it doesn't take chips long to get around the Golden Horseshoe.

Anybody else ever notice that brand new ASMs smell sweet?! Seriously, every time I open the case, it smells like candy! I don't think it's psychological (as monkeydog said, they do look a bit like candy). They sure smell better than my PI Chinese clays (had a chemical smell to them, but it mostly went away after oiling) and I don't recall any noticeable odour to my Samurais when they were brand new.

The American portion of the group buy arrived today (as per the tracking info). I was just informed they should be in the mail tomorrow!

Ok, I just got my sample set in the mail today. I want to thank everyone involved for getting this done. These chips are awesome. I have been buying alot of sample sets lately and this is my first set of ASM's. I LOVE ASM's. I oiled them up and they look amazing. I love the weight and feel of these horsehead chips. I think I have finally found the chips I want. I need to come up with a design for some customs now.

I'm glad you like them. I'm very happy with them myself. I never really liked the ASM's yellow - always felt it was too mustardy (which is part of why I was originally avoiding a yellow chip in the early stages of this set), but I really like how it turned out with blue spots. And I'd never seen some of the day-glo colours in person. WOW!! Online images don't do them justice!!

Good timing, as Jim just announced a 10% off sale on NEW orders of custom ASMs for September:
http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/pokerc...september.html

P.S. Don't start hounding me about a re-buy of these chips just yet; I'm pretty sure the 10% off sale only applies to new orders, not re-buys of previous orders.

Received my 20 chips and I LOVE-EM , THANKS for putting this group buy together. My Sample sets are starting to grow, I think I'm Hooked and will need some new storage ideas.

My firsts 500 piece set of rare custom chips are made by ASM and have been holding up pretty well.
