Found the Playing Cards from Star Trek TNG

[fatboyincbigt19]

I found this poker set. I am customizing my set based on this set. It's hard to find metal chips at a reasonable price. I also want to make a set that the senior crew played. That's gonna me easy.
-Kem arrow playing cards
-300 plastic 2 gram poker chip
-Gold, silver and bronze/copper chrome spray paint and primer
-200 count chip case
-UFP 9x6 sticker for on the case

It's unfortunate that the silver chips in your purchased set are really equivalent to the copper / bronze chips in the screen used set. (You can tell by the quantity. In a real set, there would be equal blue and red, but double the amount in white chips) And the blue chips represent the silver chips in the screen used set.

You could choose not to paint the gold chips.
You could choose not to paint HALF the silver chips.
You could choose to paint half the silver chips, and all the blue chips as copper / bronze.

This would save time, effort, paint, and money and would give you the correct quantity and (approximate) color of all chips in the set.

If anyone wants to source the table and chairs to match the style used late in the series, look for a Fledermaus game table/chair set.

Now if I can get the chip stack count for each player, I'll be set. Lol.
In the final episode of TNG, all good things... When Picard sits at the table, Riker gives him pre-counted stacks from a side table.
There is several more stack on the table as well.
I want to say each stack is 15 just in how Riker was holding them.
But 20 looks to talk and 10 looks to short when setting on a table
So in guessing 15 per stack

Your Star Trek set has 75 of Gold and 75 of blue and 150 of silver.

5 people X 15 gold chips = 75 gold chips.

You'll come up short with 6 people.

Have you thought of 3D printing chips ?

They have metallic color 3D filament.

The chips (as found out in early posts in this thread) are metallic painted HOYLE chips. Why not buy lots of Hoyle chips and paint them ?

I've been itching to add to the prop collection, have to do it on a budget, and lo and behold I find this thread! Wealth of information here, thank you!

Ordered Kem Kent cards on ebay (best offer was accepted for $20), and found a double set brand new Kem Arrows locally on Kijiji for $30. Tried ordering on the Kem website but CHEAPEST shipping to Canada was $54!!!

As for the Measure of a Man cards, I'm going to go the Zazzle route. I did take Jintosh's great card back and remake it in Illustrator. When doing this I also made the design a little more blue as it looks that way to me in the screenshot. So now I have a vector source.

Close up:

And an 800DPI Jpeg if anyone else wants it:

As for the metallic look to the back of the cards, I recently used a spray metallic glitter kind of effect on my son's goalie helmet. It's meant for cars to give them that little sparkle in the light. Looks great, so I'm going to try and spray the back of the cards with this and see how it turns out.

Awesome !

And thanks for the upgrade to my design. Looks like maybe you took more of the IDEA, and upgraded it. My dimensional accuracy in the design wasn't perfect, and now everything looks flawless. I like to put free designs out there, and more than once someone has upgraded them. This also happened when I made the design for the "Joe VS. the Volcano" lampshade. The artwork as a whole had never been available publicly before, but a while after I put out my free design, an artist improved it for the final version. (thread is elsewhere on TheRPF)

 

[Michael Bergeron]

The sheer amount of free stuff you put out there for fans, I don't know how you do it!

I really need to win the Lotto, or get a rich girl friend (or boyfriend) I would love to have more time at my hobby by NOT also working at my DayJob.

I know exactly what you mean!

I noticed that the Kem Arrow cards come in at least two widths -- looks like the ones used on the series are the "wide" versions. The difference is easiest to spot with the horizontal arrows: in the wide version, as in the screencaps, the arrowhead overlaps the branches above and below it, while the regular (narrower) version has no overlap:

Kudos to everyone on their research. The little details like this make it a fun hobby.
UPDATE: hopefully everyone has watched the series finale of Picard by now, but I’ll put a break in my post to be safe:

I noticed in the poker scene at the end they are using the same blue Kem “Kent” cards as in All Good Things, which was an awesome touch. So thanks to the original poster here, I got a set off eBay. Upon further inspection of screen caps of both finales, I noticed in All Good Things they are using the “Super Index” version with larger denominations on the card faces, whereas the Picard finale they use a regular set. Tiny detail, but then again that’s why we are all here! Thanks again everyone for sharing your time and knowledge.

I'm thinking of doing the chips. After looking at many tables in TNG, I conclude that silver is the lowest chip. It is played the most often. Then copper, then Gold. People seem more likely to bet a copper chip, than a gold, thus implying a higher value to gold over copper.
So, the standard 300 chips divided by 3 colors is 150 silver, 75 copper, 75 gold. This doesn't go according to olympics medals, because it is going by a visual premise. Silver **LOOKS** like a white chip. Copper is similar to red, and gold analogous to blue.

silver = 1 value
copper = 5 value
gold = 10 value.

I ordered a new printer but it doesn't arrive till February. I plan to print the chips with That color of filament. Silver, copper and gold.
