How much does a set like that go for, and how much extra would it be to line up the edge spots? Thanks.

stevea, I hate to do this to you.... but I'm not a fan.

They look too much like the cheap slug chips, for a (custom?) set.

sorry- hope that doesn't detract from your enjoyment.

iirc, the ceramic chip mftrs specifically say that you CAN'T line up the edge spots with the ones on the chip faces. Something to do with the manufacturing process.

This is one reason why I won't go ceramic when/if I ever do a big-time customized set of chips.... after I hit the lottery.

I looked around a little, and it looks like some places do offer aligned edge stripes. Here is an example. It looks like having aligned edge stripes adds about $.15 cost per chip.

That is SO much better, it would be worth the expense... if you could even get me to buy ceramic chips, that is. I'm surprised that it costs $150 to do this, but whatever.

Thanks for the info- I was always surprised that they wouldn't line them up.

No worries.

I find that I'm more of a fan of simple/not fancy looking chips with traditional colors...none of my chips are fancy looking:

When I had the ceramics designed, I was looking for something along the lines of the 2006 WSOP chips, but designed for HPT. Perhaps I should re-consider making them fancier as the majority of people probably don't think like me...

At Nevada Jacks they go for .79/chip. But Nevada Jacks won't align the edgespots.
