Wanted Really Need Help on This (2 Viewers)

Barrels & Racks

I finally built a set around my favorite chip of all time, Flamingo $1s. It’s what really brought me to these forums and got me hooked on chipping.

Now, I really need help to decide on a $20 chip for this set, my wife wasn’t much help. She always tells me to go with blaze orange, no matter the denom … lmfao.

I’m stuck between Tiger Palace Primary $25 and ESPT T25. There are other good options as well.

I might not go with a $100 chip, since it never gets used at my games and I plan for this to be my primary cash set. If I do decide it’s Empress $100.

With that, I created a wanted ad since I will need a rack of ESPT T25 or TP Primary $.25, as well as a barrel of Empress Star $100s.

They could be murdered or not, still haven’t decided if I’m going overlabels on them.

TLDR, pick your favorite chip to match the rest of the set.

I think black would pop a lot the Empress 100 makes a lot of sense. You can always go with a black 20

Spot progression from the Harrah's Cherokee frac to the Flamingo $1 is bass-ackward.

Maybe a solid frac, then make the Harrah's Cherokee a white hundo? Blue $1s are Cali colors, so you could go yellow fiver and purple $25.

Just spit balling here.

thought about a black/grey $20 as well, but I’m sticking with yellow/green for that denom and $100 will be black.

Thought about a solid, but haven’t been a fan of them. Im sticking with my frac to $5 and $100, just need suggestions on the $20, but I appreciate your input! The spot progression also doesn’t trigger me and I actually like that they are similar.

I always thought a milled AS T25 could fit colour and spot progression as a $25 chip with a Flamingo build.
A $20 though I do like the Arc Primary $20 TP.

TP $25 seem readily available and if you hate it you could always change your mind while ESPT t25 will prove to be difficult.

Hmmm I like your suggestion!! I have them, I’ll check them out

TP 25¢ gets my vote.

This is probably my top still, but AST T25 goes well with the $5

I am making similar decision for the 20 or 25.
Have a rack of TP-P25 in hand and a rack of TP-P20 on the way.
I had just made most of the set, the 25's were the easy find.
I considered the 20's or claws unattainable when a rack showed up for sale out of nowhere.
Hopefully will be making comparisons soon. The shipment is delayed due to 'holiday' delays.

@Hotus777 a $20 that could work is the ESST T1000.

I really like the AS T25 chip, especially in that lineup.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Tiger $25 for sure imo as a $25

If $20 then Tiger primary 20 or quarter gets my vote

 

[Jaxen]

The orange TP $20 is a bit similar to the red, while the arc yellow stands out. I voted for the TP 25c as well.

What’s the rest of your lineup?
Glad you found some, it’s always when you least expect it, that they show up.

I was looking at those, but I think canary works better. Thank you, I’m definitely considering the ASTs.

The man has spoken. I’m leaning towards the Tiger Primary Quarter!

The orange TP $20 is a bit similar to the red, while the arc yellow stands out. I voted for the TP 25c as well.

Good point. Might change this thread to ISO for Tiger quarter here shortly.

Certainly nothing wrong with a Flamingo $5 set!

I like the TP $25, because:
- traditional green chip
- all chips are having 1/6 spots

 

[UnicornFlash]

Maybe ESPT T5K as an option for the $20?
