Review SC Commemorative Signature Series 3.75" Staunton Chessmen

With him, what you see is what you get so I never had a reason to return it. I have bought 6 sets from him now. One set I had received 2 pieces with cracks and he replaced them quickly without any charge. He will ask you if you like to order another set so he can save on shipping but if you says no he will send them anyway.

He's quite quick with responding on his chat (website, FB or Etsy) so you can ask him anything.

I just uploaded on 55mm board pictures I shot last week. The longer I look at it, the more I like it. In fact, I'd say I prefer that more than 57mm board. Shot from players view I'll do that tomorrow morning.

Sorry it took so long, been busy and to generate this file it takes lot of time since my pc is 10 years old

Beautiful photo!

Where did you get this board?

Most of my boards are local finds, so is this one.

Wow, that is an amazing find. It is really aesthetic

You guys are lucky to live where all of the old chess stuff is located. It is hard to find stuff like that in the US.

There are others that also sells that design for years, CB and TCE to name a few. It's very interesting to hear you stated as a fact that SC is the one that supplied the set to Frank. Do you have hard evidence for this or is it just hearsay?

You're the one that brought this up, why should I be the one that needs to verify what you said? No pun intended.

Well, this thread took an ugly turn. 

the set looks great on the 55mm squares!

Agreed Krames! Every photo I see of this set on all the boards in this post look simply outstanding. The craftmanship demonstrated is appreciated.  Thanks Michael.     

Trouble is almost all collectors don’t give a damn about ethics morals etc, you just see the $savings.

I see your parents did an admiring job to raised you as a fine citizen.

If you wanna talk about moral, it makes me wonder why would the designers/retailers in USA outsource making the chess pieces to cheap labor countries like India in the first place? If I have to make a wild guess, to make more profit? If you're so keen on morals, why not let the locals do it? Oh wait, that would be too expensive thus less profit.

Yeah right.

We must have went to different schools and follow the news around the world differently then. So for example your american industries never had american workers, everything was made in cheap labor countries from the beginning of time and those CEO's had personally trained all those people in cheap labor countries how to make stuff for the american companies.

Keep continuing to make a fool out of yourself.

I've always found that providing zero evidence to support one's claims, making racist asides, and insulting the largest possible group of listeners, is a wonderfully effective means of persuasion. 

In case you still don't get my point, following what you said that Frank put Amritsar on the map because he educated them how to make those quality pieces, what stopped him from doing that to the locals and educate them how to do it? Spoiler alert, the labor cost of the locals are too high.
