So, I am not sure if this is an uncool thing or not but I thought I would throw out an idea and see if it had any traction.

I am working on an idea for a set of BCC custom chips and thought that if there were some other folks interested in the basic design I could order a larger volume which would bring down the price of the per-chip cost by amortizing the largish layout cost.

I can spell out some of the things i will be certain about but I am mostly interested in the opinions of those who have been around for a while whether this kind of thing can work. While for certain aspects of the design, I am eager for input and help, at this point I am not thinking of this is not a "design contest" that would be completely democratically run - though that may be another possibility.

• I am looking to create a denominated but non-currency set that could be use for either cash (in any country) games or tourny.
• I have definite ideas about the green (25), black (100) purple (500) and arc yellow/orange (1000 or ncv) chip color combos and edgespot patterns (as this will be the majority of "cash set" chips I order. patterns but am compeletly open about the rest
• the "theme" idea for labeling is "mountain club" after a favorite spot in the Berkshire area in new england.
• I am open, but have been picturing using a different indigenous animal for each denomination (chip monk 1, rabbit 5, deer 25, bear 100, beaver (?) 500 etc). I like the "rounders" bear chip as an example also the sample antartica chips seen at the ASM/PC.com site:

• I would be interested in finding anyone who has a mold that bcc could use as an alternative to the "flame" mold.
• Here are some of the color combos and spot patterns i have been playing with

So please give feed back of any sort, but especially in this thread on if you think this kind of project can work as a "group buy" Thanks

the rounders bear is very interested.if you can make it.

Too much green, purple and black in the first three chips for my taste. Best of luck though...looks like you've got a good start.

I am working on a GB through BCC right now. The one piece of advice I would give you is to run any artwork that is a copy of something exsisting through them for apporval sooner rather than later.

I like the concept though

wow nice set jim.

[spamproxy]

I have some new info. The set will have 5 denominations but all have same picture (in other words all inlays same except denomination). This is due to the way BCC prices things.

I am trying to figure out which denominations to get. Originally I was not going to put currency symbols on any so that 25, 100 and 500 could be dollars or cents depending on if they were being used for cash or tourney. but with 5 denoms i could do a fractional, $1, $5, $25 and either $100 or ncv and just do T100 to T500 tourneys.

Any thoughts?

I will be updating my chip mock ups soon I hope
