Chip Name: J K OFF

Smitty made the "J K OFF" personal chip because
"This chip that I made was kind fluke!
I found this design when I was searching on line for possible personal chip backgrounds as I was getting ready for the 2010 Convention. I think the design is from a casino in South America? I was not paying much attention to the details of the design other than it was two face cards with the four suits.
I was showing some home made personal chip prototypes here on the board and I posted this chip calling it my PAIR of KINGS personal chip prototype. It did not take long for someone to correct my error by correctly IDing the cards on the chip as a Jack and a King and that they were both Off Suits.
The J K OFF prototype chip created quite a stir here on the board. I decided that I should make this highly controversial chip in very limited quantity.
There were 12 of them made so that would make them an R-8 on the Personal Chip Rarity Scale - EXTREMELY PERSONAL!!!"
