thanx for your help pete...

i actually did not check with spinetti, but i did look up the nevada jacks line of chips and i did check chipco and the other company you mentioned to see about custom making the chips...

I guess im not too concerned about whether its the H&C mold or the starburst mold (since there isnt really a HUGE significant difference, or is there?)......

well, i guess i can just continue on my search and once again thank you for such an informative and prompt response to my question...

Thank you again,

daniel
