Any Poker Players on the board?

I am looking into getting some custom poker chips made with a Muskie theme on them and I was wondering if anyone wanted to join in on the project.

We can get a better price with a greater volume and distribute the cost of the dies etc. What I am planning on getting are good quality clay (11.5g) chips with a design on both sides.

Although I have some ideas about the designs, I am open to suggestions.

Either reply here or send me a private message if you are interested.

Muskiehead.

I'm interested, but just for one set for myself; what are we talking here for a set? Have you also thought about approaching Muskies, Inc. on the project as they also sell Muskie related stuff.

I don't have exact figures yet on the set. The sets will be in blocks of 300 and 500 chips.

I have not contacted MI yet, but that is a good suggestion. I like the packaging idea of a tackle box but that may make it too costly for most.

As for the designs I am thinking a Muskie Silhouette embossed on the chips. If it's not too expensive I would like a different embossed pattern on each of the 4 colors. This is where volume will be necessary to make it affordable. I am waiting to hear back on pricing.

for the other embossed patterns here are some of the ideas:

A bucktail
A topwater (globe perhaps?)
A crank / twitch like a grandma

The silhouette needs to have a distinctive shape without infringing on copyrights / identity.

Anyother ideas?

Even if you're limited to one design, it'd still be a unique set. No cabin up north should be without them!
