Semi Custom League Chips; Thoughts?
As some of you are aware, I've been working on a small project to make a semi custom set of poker chips for the league games. Based on the current game structure, these chips would have our standard denominations and colours, with only the 500 chip changing colour.
These are semi custom. The 8v group buy enabled me to get a great deal on a chip design I've been looking at for awhile, and the only real customizing is the inlay, which I've been working with a designer from Europe on for the past couple of weeks.
Here's the design in its latest version. Other than Milo, anyone realize the symbolism of the tree?
Thoughts and suggestions. This is still in the planning stage, and the designer is actually working on something else over this weekend to show me, but I wanted to get your opinions on this semi customized league set.

As far as "Bramalea" vs "Brampton"...Bramalea no longer exists...get over it!
Just like Galt and Hespler no longer exist!!
No 1K or 5K chips?
I would love it if you could put "They're not Paulson's!" in small print around the chip, but I realize that would be expensive and clutter up the design. Maybe on a custom dealer button?
I was going to make a joke re: the tree, but I gather it means something sentimental?
Custom dealer buttons would be nice. Maybe I'll look at getting a few ceramic pucks made up with the same design minus the denoms.
Get your mind out of the gutter, Johnnie. The tall pine actually MEANS something. ^-^
They kind of remind of the the PGI Private Cardroom chips.

Changes include a deeper green on the tree, a lighter shade for the sunburst, white shadow on all denoms, and a halo to pronounce the league name and city more. I think this should just about do it. Excited to see the finished product.
Note Milo's post above. That explains it.
Moving any time soon isn't in the cards. If I did move, I would either keep them or sell them to someone who wants to keep the league going.
Opened the first box and found sheets of labels, and immediately thought OMG...I have to put these on myself?? Fortunately, they're extras. Thank God
1000 Semi Custom poker league chips! Been wanting this ever since I started my little league
Stacked and accounted for
Dealer buttons I had made by Old West Poker Supplies. They arrived just before Christmas and have been patiently waiting for the chips as well.
Game night was about to begin, I had just a couple of hours to take the pics and set up the tables for the first game of the new season.
First pot of the night
Final Table...everyone commented on how nice these looked and played. The only issue is that they weren't easily shuffled yet, but that will improve in time and use.
Alas, I busted out in 6th spot in the game, but I'm sure it won't be long before I have ALL those pretty chippies sitting in front of me whilst I hold top monies
Special shout outs go to Alain-Pierre for the designs. Even though were separated by the Atlantic Ocean, communication was very easy and we were able to get the design just right. Great job Alain-Pierre!!!
Second shout out to Old West Poker Supplies for the buttons. They look fantastic!
Finally, to PGI themselves for making this all possible! It was a great deal, and I'm very happy with the final product. You guys did amazing work, and very quickly too. I think I got my shipping notice within 2 days of me paying.
Congrats AJ.
You got a lot of dealer buttons. How many tables do you get running there?
PGI 8V Custom preorder thread
The second order from China should be landing in about a month or so. You're going to get them at the same price I did, but still an attractive price.
PGI also did the labelling, once I had the custom work drawn up by Alain Pierre.
Still, I like them, and so long as the league is around, they will see plenty of play.
Besides, who knows...someday they might be collector items ^-^
Hmm? You summoned me? I'll see what I can do.
Great looking chips. Love the new dealer button.
Enjoy them while you can.
Geesh, run for the Hill AJ... I would ban im but then I would be afraid he would target me..;)
Not scared. You're from Kincardine. All I have to do is throw a 6 pack of Bud your way...:)
I will state right now that, should these become available for any reason, I will make a fair offer in order to give them a good home.
I am just making an offer in order to provide him a "stake".
I'M STILL BREATHING!!
