Offered Is: CHIPCO ARTIST PROOF SHEETS
These were the original "Artist Proof or Waxed Copies" presented to the casino
for their approval or rejection of the design .....
Each is a dated sheet: Order #/ Initial Proof Sheet / Revision # if the Initial Sheet was changed
** NOTE **
These are authentic "Artist Proofs", the original ones from CHIPCO International, and
are not re-productions or copies. They do make nice casino chip memorabilia displayed
in a 9" x 12" frame.
CHIPCO™ salesman called these "Artist Proofs" waxed copies as they were high quality
prints. In the past, CHIPCO™ sent them snail mail to the salesmen for delivery to casinos
for approval or rejection because the clarity of colors of the chip is more accurate by
seeing it on the waxed copy. If the casino approved the design, they would sign off on
the art work, if they did not like it, they would send it back to be revised, sometimes many
times until the liked it. With many casinos, there were multiple versions and revisions done
to the design. It was not unusual for many original waxed copies to be in the possetion of
the salesman. Several would be left with the casion or person who ordered the chips, most
salesman would keep a copy for their records, and in Nevada, once a casino approves the
artwork, CHIPCO sends a signed copy of the art work to the Nevada Gaming Commission
for their approval or rejection. If the gaming commission rejects a design, the process is
repeated with versions and revisions until the gaming commission approves the design,
at which time the casino would place it's order. This process is nearly all done by email
now.
