B.

But this is an embarrassment of riches situation. Can't lose wherever you end up!

Congrats.

The GOAT asking for advice from the plebs!!!

I'm no help (as usual) - they all look awesome imo

 

[BKisback]

Blaze for me. Better for the sake of the whole set.

 

[Emitsu]

Blaze orange with BTP $100 looks sick!!

You are the LEGEND, man! Not me!

It’s been too long! You think you’ll be able to make it to Jeff’s this year?

 

[pocketJs]

B. The people voting for the BTP $100 are just hoping you’ll sell them the SB $100 afterwards

make your own 43

The idea is ready! I'm sure Paulson can't wait to get my order of one rack of fracs in... Alright, alright, I can order two racks of fracs, for scale...

I was looking at the current results and it seems those who prefer the Blaze frac, also prefer the BTP. Those who prefer the Green frac, like the SB more.

Is it correct to assume it's because of the coordination of the colors/spots of the frac and hundo?

Not for me. Already threw in my two cents on the fracs, but the SB is as simple as it being more of a pastel-colored chip and not fitting the vibe of the rest of the set. The BTP's inserts are bold, as are the rest of the chips/colors in the set. The white/red combo has a fantastic contrast with the black chips, something I don't really see with the SB besides the base color itself.

That is the exact reason, to a 't', I was on the BTP train. Adding the red on that chip also helps the contrast to the $5, imo.

 

[Cratty]

I could go either way. I like the total set cohesion with SB to the frac/$1 if those are held (just feels more purposefully designed together), but agree more the pastels lose some general $100 flair.

But if you eventually pull in a banger $500.. a slightly muted $100 might be fine. Ha

I think the set works in C or D, but still would advocate a $20 or frac swap if you can find the right one in quantity.

Ha, pretty but walks too far from the earthier (textile?) tones for the rest of the set/theme IMO.

Edit: Had a note about current preference based upon all mockups, but once again waffling.. I'll stop commenting now to prevent being a broken record or derailing, lol.

Recognize that there will never be a perfect option here unless you can convince Jim to do a run (or just copy Forrest's lineup)! Ha... but do love the red/Hawaii flower mockup.

Clear as day the set needs green balance. BTP black chip is a classy $20 for sure although some green on a chip here would help overall balance. If not here then somewhere like the hundo and frac. But $20/$25 with green would balance best. Assuming you are trying to use what you already have on hand though.

I don’t think gold $20 is the answer here at all though even with the green on it. And I don’t think the set feels earthy at all until Paulo throws in the fantasy red chip he mocked up.

 

[mike32]

This is old fashioned of me probably but I much prefer a blaze frac over a green frac just because $25 are supposed to be green and blaze is a wild card color perfect for a frac. I should hesitate about ever disagreeing with @Cratty and you as you guys have forgotten more about chip set design than I will ever know.

I don't see the earthy-tone set/theme as it stands. I still see bold, especially with a Canary workhorse with Blurple on it. Royal Red with greens on it contrast w/ the black and white upper denoms. The only consistent earthy tones are in chips that are, unironically, actively being replaced (inserts on the BTP frac and SB hundo). Of course, no sense arguing for a hypothetical chip . Not much more I can add besides I'd like some green balance somewhere in the frac through twenty/twenty-five.

but do think this version is the best option presented so far.

The gold $20 actively offends me. How dare you lol.

Alright now I'll stfu sorry all.

Agree the set would benefit from the Green since Blaze is already represented on the $20 and in a way, on the $5 (kinf of) yellow. My small counter to that is, in a way, the Green is sort of represented by the Blue. I know, not the same color but in a way, very similar and even hard to have side by side, imo. Red on the other hand, is something I think we need even more than Green. My personal opinion of course.

So when I look at 25¢, $1 and $5, chips that start the game in many cases, I think having Green/Blue/Yellow chips is not as vibrant as having Red/Blue/Yellow. One of the reasons I was leaning towards the Blaze (in between Red and Yellow), lol!!!

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

I don’t disagree when it comes to the frac and also green being similar-ish family color to that blue of the $1.

Blaze is more similar to red too. I’d also personally rather go red or blaze frac and some green shade on the spots of the $20/25 than use the green BTP for the frac. I was only trying to work within the boundaries of chips you already mentioned here.

100%! And completely agree with a little green as well, as you can see on the red chip I'm forcing Paulson to make for me, all those 2 racks, lol!

Yes, trying to work with what I have... Maybe get a rack here and there but want to leverage what's 'in-stock', lol!!!

The set was put together way back then, by the time the Ojibwa Tourney was out. So before all the Tigers and Faro Dunes 43mm, so not many options... Nowadays the set might feel a bit outdated with the options we have but I love it nonetheless.

 

[detroitdad]

Paulo, can you have this set finished by my meet up in a couple of weeks.

Thanks!

 

[ChaosRock]

#teamnofrac so I vote for none . If I had to choose, A. I agree with @Rieguy, don't replace that $20, that charcoal bearclaw is already perfect (can I use this word?) in that lineup.

Was just thinking about that since I'm dealing with this issue in another set. Don't necessarily disagree with no fracs but, been there done that... I've put together sets without fracs before but ultimately, ended up adding them later on. It's always the question of "why not?". So the set is there, why not make it more flexible, I guess... But I totally get it where you're coming from.

I have a set I'm working on I went even further and planned for nickels, lol!! Just in case my young nephews want to play super small... After labels were done, came to my senses and discarded the idea. Slippery slope...

Totally agree. My (pretty poor) philsophy is to round out the bare minimum, playable core for my chip sets. So the frac will usually come in later. Once the $1-$100 is established, I can spend more time thinking about my fracs and $500s. If I try to fit in 6 custom chips all in the same set at the same time, my chipping brain usually explodes... That's why I currently don't have a custom set, LOL!

100% agree! There's a reason I'm asking feedback on 25¢ and $100 only! The above is exactly how I build my sets, whether custom, mixed, re-label or design. Workhorse first, then the adjacent chips and then the extremities. The only caveat to this whole thing is that once all the chips are sort of ready, then some adjustments might have to be made for consistency, fluidity and harmony, especially when designing sets. Yes, nerding out!

 

[EmptyPocs]

I voted 'B' but when I saw the face shots I changed to 'A'.
I think the Gold spot fits in with your yellow/orange theme just fine. Really nice chip.
The other is a little too pastel with the rest.

 

[ChaosRock]

Interesting… For the frac Blaze leads 26 x 14 at the moment. For the hundo, a lot closer, 21 x 19 in favor of BTP.

 

[ChaosRock]

I'm closing the poll down.

I decided to go with the BTP instead of the SB for the hundo. As far as the 25¢ go, I am leaning heavily towards the Blaze Cincy but I'm not 100% there yet.

Thank you to all of those who responded the poll and commented on the thread. Much appreciated.
