So, I have my Paulson solid hot stamps, BCC T-mold solids (hopefully will be custom at some point), & Chipco fantasy set (WSOP's). Soooo...

Now I need some Custom Edge spot/Inlayed BCC's to round everything out! I would really love to do a fully custom chip for myself, but I just don't have the cash flow! Then I thought to myself...It would be pretty sweet to have a custom BCC created exclusively for myself and other CT members! Still an exclusive, custom chip that reminds me of CT, for a price that I could afford!

I guess what I want to know is if anyone else is interested in trying to get something going?!

I was thinking something along the theme of "U.S. Poker Tour" (USPT), "EST. 2007", but I'm open...Just want it to be a simple, classy inlay...not too busy, but not to plain.

The set would have denoms with no money signs so they can be used for cash or tourney's. Chip denoms of 5, 25, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, & a NCV chip.

So, what does everyone think? Anyone interested in going further with this???

[bludevilstud5]

interested. I like U.S Poker Tour as i base mark. Maybe do some sort of classy symbol. Cross between an EPT and WPT symbol "USPT"

[smitty007]

yeah, that's what I was thinking. I've always like the USPC, WPT, & PPT, so I was thinking something along these lines. I don't want it to be to "Replica-ish", so for those of you thinking that this is another custom replica...don't!

I do want this to be something that is Custom and "Our Own" design, not a rip-off. I think something classy and simple like the ones you mentioned are a great starting point and what I was thinking as well!

Maybe a pic of "Rolled up Ace's over King's" on the inlay...

OR...(just thought of this while I was typing)

"U.S. Poker Tour" arched around the top..."CT Casino & Resort" arched around the bottom..."Est. 2007" (or the year CT really was established) arched around the sides (very small)...Block style Denom in the center over a "ghosted" pic of the outline of a casino/resort???

Just a thought...I wish I new how to design inlays and I would mock this up!

[bludevilstud5]

I like your ideas. I think we could come up with a nice graphic that incorporates our own theme with the ept & wpt logos. Whatever the graphic is I think it should be horizontal in the middle of the chip faded in with a nice bold denom. I wish i had the program to design but I dont, we are going to need the help of an artist on this one. Lets get it rolling!

[smitty007]

just put up a post in the artist for hire section to see if anyone would mind mocking something up quickly or if they could tell me where to get "mock up" software so I can do it myself.

I'll post with updates...

I'm not buying anything from BCC until they make good on the bad PNY tribute chips. Just my opinion of course.

[smitty007]

always good to know!

Possible chip colors

*note: I used the 11 approved base colors from BCC, but I thought there was another option other than laker purple??? If so, I would want that base color to be either purple or lavender. Also might look to get Charcoal instead of Black.

Black and Laker purple are easily distinguished in the heavier chip weight. The 8V edgespot design is not available in customs.

Thanks for the info NY! I just read in another thread that all of BCC's colors can be used as base colors and that it is not just the 11?! Can anyone confirm this?
