WhaleMangler:
Is the picture a good representation of the Imperial Blue Color? Yours look much lighter then the pics at Pokerchips.com's website. I have an order in for some chips and my color choice for the $1000 chip is Yellow with Imperial Blue edge spots. This was based on the first chip shown on their sample page. Your pic has me second guessing that choice.

For your yellow chip, I'd recommend lavender or even purple. Have you seen the $5000 Palmas chips? Those look really nice. (yellow w/grey&purple)

Correct, that is a Nevada Jacks mold.
I only posted it because you asked "to see pokerchips.com clay chips"
They are pokerchips.com chips

Are you sure it's Red. I GUESSED Mandarin Red as the spot on the $1
must be the Red. But I am not sure as each monitor portrays colors
differently

Heh. I was just going to ask you that. I thought the darker red was "red", and the lighter red was Mandarin Red. I know I read that somewhere. Not sure if it was true though.
The buypokerchips.com samples I have are like your picture; with the white/lighter red, and the darker red/arc yellow.

The Chips in Whalemangler's pic looks almost like baby blue.

Okay. From your original post I thought you wanted to see different ASM colors, so those nevada jacks were corrrect colors. I didn't mean to argure semantics. :D
Right now I'm only aware of Kardwell and pokerchips.com selling ASM chips.

That is not mandarin red unless I am mistaken; mandarin red is the red in the edge spot for the $1 chip above it.
It is red/arc yellow.

So you haven't seen any actual chips. No offense, but I'm looking for first hand information.
Whalemangler, can you confirm that the Imperial Blue color looks like the photo you took or is it darker as shown at Pokerchips.com's color sample page.
Please this is important as I may want to modify my current order with them.
Thanks,

The pantone number for ASM's imperial blue is 314. It is a turquoise blue.
EDIT: For reference here are the yellows and the other blue:
Blue 288
Yellow 110

Try giving Kim a call direct. That was the only way I could get things moving along with my order. Although I really can't fault her because I was constantly making changes throughout the graphics process.
Here is her direct line: 207-797-0727
Posted Mon Feb 28, 2005 12:36 am GMT by SpaceMonkey
Kim sat on my ideas for a month even with me calling once a week. My art is now being handled by new hire Natalie. I'm going to call her tomorrow.
This is what I've come up with so far: http://www.texasholdem-poker.com/forum/t8616/greek-chip-design-help?postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15
I think it can be greatly improved, but I've used up all my talents getting this far.

Nice looking chips! Those are perfect color combos IMO. Which mold are you going with? I assume horsehead, but your $25 chip shown is roman. Can you guys imagine how out of control production would be (on top of the backup to get an order already) at pokerchips.com if they would add a variety of edgespots?! They are probably NOT adding those option just for the simple fact that they couldn't handle the volume of orders...there's always hope though! :D
Posted Mon Feb 28, 2005 1:06 am GMT by SpaceMonkey
Thanks. Maybe I've been looking at them for too long. 
I'm actually going with the A mold. I don't care for the roman mold too much, and I just don't think the horsehead mold matches the theme.
Heh, you're right about different edge spots. I love their narrow 4, 5 and 6 edge spot chips that I've seen, and their multi colored spots. They claim its for "security" that they don't offer choices. But they are so far behind with current orders, that adding more choices would make the entire process even more of a mess.
Posted Mon Feb 28, 2005 1:35 am GMT by ram1962
Nice chips!
Here is the proof I had received from Kim.
She sent me a template to use for my artwork which I did all of it and learned Paint Shop Pro in the process. I was instructed not to have my text go beyond the inner circle and to run my background out to the outer circle. She said this is called a bleed which is done so that there is no white edge around the label. I opted for a 1" label which forced me to chose between the A & Roman molds. Originally I wanted the Horsehead mold but 1" labels can not be used with them. I thought the Roman Mold looked more traditional then the "A" mold plus its the one used in the movie Rounders so I thought that would be a good choice.
Note: The proof shows the wrong edge colors for the $25 & $1000 Chips. They should be Green w/Dayglo Pink & Yellow w/Imperial Blue (as you know)
Posted Mon Feb 28, 2005 10:36 am GMT by whalemangler
Imperial blue is a light blue. Almost a hint of neonish color. I love it but I wanted a light blue. The edge spot color makes a huge difference. Mine look much lighter because of the white spot. You can darken it up if you use a black or brown edge.

That's interesting. When I placed my order, I was told I couldn't have a bigger inlay, they don't do that anymore. Maybe it's because you're doing a bleed? I noticed your proof has the same 3/4" printable center notice. I wonder if I should push them on this. I could use a little more room to work with.
I'll post my new proofs I got today in my thread. She barely did half of the things I wanted. I'll have to call her again tomorrow.

Messenger309,
Alright, How did you get those chips? Come on, there has to be a good story there.
I thought PC.com only did the 3 1/2" edge spots. Those chips look like the real deal! You have to be very happy with them.

I believe they ARE the "real deal." There have been a few posts on the site about people getting some of the real movie chips. Am I right messenger?
Posted Tue Mar 01, 2005 1:16 pm GMT by messenger309
They are the real deal. I got them from an archivist who worked on the film for Miramax. I have 400 and they will likely be the only chips that see the light of day.
Unfortunately I am going to break up the set and sell them. Pairs of the $100 chips (one from KGB and one from Chesterfield) have been selling for $150 on ebay. Although I paid a lot for them, this still is a healthy profit. It just doesn't make sense to keep them as cool as they are when I can buy a custom set of my own by selling just a few.
They have been the hit of my home game endless 'Splashing the pot' quotes and jokes.
For my own set I will be using the Chesterfield logo with my own text and going with PC.com.

I just ordered up a sampler pack from pokerchips.com My original plans were to get a custom inlay graphic, but given that it doubles my costs and probably increases wait time, I'm considering just purchasing the custom clays with edge spots (50 cents each)
Does anyone know if this improves the turn-around time for the chips? Some people are waiting many months for their orders. If I just get them with custom edge spots will I get them faster since there's no custom graphic work needed?

I ordered the custom clays with edge sports and no inlay, and they still quoted me 10-12 weeks. I placed the order about a month ago, so its still too early to tell if the 10-12 week estimate is accurate.

I was quoted 12-15 weeks for edge spot chips with no inlay or hotstamp. It's the edge spots, not the inlay, that takes all the time. I'd imagine a solid chip with inlay would be much faster than an edge spotted chip without inlay.
Posted Fri Mar 11, 2005 1:30 pm GMT by grandgnu
Thanks, guess I'll just have to wait like everyone else. I can't get em without edge spots.
Posted Fri Mar 11, 2005 2:17 pm GMT by spartan96
FYI, I spoke to someone at PC.com and she said that they do have a stock of plain spotted, no inlay chips in various color combinations. There is no waiting period for these (obviously) since they already have them in stock. You will have to contact them to see what color combos they currently have in stock.
Posted Fri Mar 11, 2005 8:16 pm GMT by grandgnu
Excellent, thanks so much! Once I've had a chance to play around with the samples I'll do just that. Appreciate everyones help!

I received some samples today of the Imperial Blue & Yellow colors from Pokerchips.com. I took a picture that is pretty close to representing the actual colors. (The blue still isn't quite right) Looking at a pantone chart from the net, I would say that the Imperial Blue was more like a 308 and the yellow a 130. Of course this could be slightly off based on my monitors settings.
Now I think I might change the color of the chip body to Day Glo Yellow. Here is a picture of a chip that I was referencing colors from when picking the colors for my $1000 chip.
Posted Wed Mar 16, 2005 6:04 am GMT by SpaceMonkey
Yeah, that's why I went with Dayglo Yellow as the body color for my yellow chip. As far as I could tell, the normal yellow is more like a mustard. (Just like their normal orange is more of a rust color).
You could be right on the values. I found the list on another forum, though I thought they came from pokerchips.com themselves. On my monitor, the values you listed look fairly close to what I posted.

On the topic (a few pages back) of NJ chips made by ASM, is there a way to contact ASM directly if you wanted to do a very large group buy or some-such and get around PC.com's rigid edge spot rules?

Pokerchips.com is ASM's storefront. Unless you're a casino, the answer is no.
