BYOAC Tokens!!! Now Accepting Pre-Orders.

Santoro:
OK here is the deal.  I think the response to this thread has shown that we can move most of a 5000 lot of tokens.

It's a go!

As soon as I speak to the Mint and get the format they require the artwork in, I will start a new thread to come up with the Art.  

I was thinking on my way into work this morning, that 1) I agree the atomic logo is too complex, 2) putting MAME on the tokens might draw unwanted attention to the MAME team, and 3) people might want to use these for pinballs.

So here is my proposal.  While it would be really cool to have customization on both sides, I think that for the sake of realism and cost control, we should have one 'stock' side like pictured below, and one custom side that we decide in a new "contest" thread.  If we don't mention MAME, It might be hard to fill two sides. {edit:this is just a suggestion.  The group is paying here, so we all get to decide.}
{{edit again, It seems like the counts for double sided customization are very strong.  Let's go with that.}}

As for the finances, I am not out to rake in the cash from this, but I don't want to take a bath either.  For the sake of full disclosure, this buy will go on a credit card, so I want to cover my costs.  I would probably tack 2 bucks onto each order above cost to cover my credit card interest and numerous trips to the post office on the part of my lovely wife.  I think this is entirely fair.  I will post the cost information as soon as I get it so that there is full transparency.

My next proposal might be more controversial and I won't do it if I get clear feedback from the group that it is not acceptable.  I was thinking of buying a lot of 10000.  Because I am taking a significant financial risk if the second 5000 doesn't sell, I would still charge the 5000 lot rate to help mitigate the risk, though I would still lose a bunch if they didn't go. I f they do sell I would make a small profit.  Does anyone have huge objections to this? I think in the end it will benefit the group by having a supply available for newcomers in the future.

Isn't safe to say that a majority of the people here use MAME?  Or am I just way off?

Definitely, but many of the same people have pinball machines.  I am flexible, I was just making a suggestion.  If it gets into a heavy debate, maybe we will need to vote.
Teknique:
Im in for a double-sided set.

MinerAl:
In.

I'd rather it be a BYOAC than a MAME design.  How about the one from the hats?
