OK, lets pick a chip maker before we get too far.

Vote for NJ or B.R. Pro.

I think NJ will be better because there are people with the bounty chips already (or the show'em chips already) and unless we do new ones for all 3 I think it's better for them to match. And even if we do new ones for all 3 people with one of the other ones might be less interested to buy some.

NJ, probably 20 Rebuy only

I agree with this, but I made a poll so the majority could make the decision and nobody could accuse me imposing my will on this buy.

I voted NJ because the bounty and other showem chips were NJ, so they'll match better.

it should be noted that BR Pros will be less expensive...

I agree with this. I was thinking that having them match would be great, and espcially if we're going for the marbled edge, we'd need to go with NJ.

On the other hand, I've been impressed with the service BR Pro seems to be providing, and from the sounds of things they're continually improving their product even more. It may turn out that their latest process would let us make more detailed / sharper graphics, which might be nice for these chips. I guess we'll know more soon as we see some newer chips from them.

So... in the end, voted "don't care" because:
a) I couldn't decide
b) The BR Pros are similar enough to the NJs that mixing wouldn't be too bad
c) I'm likely to get more of the show 'ems with this GB anyhow

ps. comaring the graphics on BR Pro Tikis with NJ ABs or NJ Bountys the BR Pro blow the other two away.

Much closer to chipco in terms of graphics quality.

I ordered 50 of the bounty's earlier today off holdempokerchips... so, I think I would prefer the same mfg, since I'm going for the matching specialty chip collection concept... having said that, if the BR's can be made with the same style edgework, then I probably wouldn't have a problem with em..
Cost? meh. how much difference can it be...

maybe down the road we would come up with a completely different theme line of specialty chips, done by BR... ie, a bounty, reload, etc, done in another unique theme...
