I believe this is the correct obit, if not please let me know.

ASM Founder and Factory manager to CPC James Blanchard passes away. I never met Jim but have read a lot about him, always a sad day for a family and a hobby family looses someone.

Rest easy Jim.....

David Spragg, Current Owner of Classic Poker Chips, formerly ASM commented at the Chip Board


"Jim, the founder of ASM (formerly the Burt Co) was my initial factory manager when ASM became CPC, and continued as our graphic artist after going part time until he finally retired in November 2020.
He was also a friend for 20 years and I did at least see him several times this year including just a week before I flew to the convention."
