I agree. We can split nights between your place and mine.

Agreed. Nirvana Lounge is perfect: shaped inlays, old school mold (even if it is new school manufacturer) and great design. However, IMO, I think quarter pies need a larger inlay (which probably wasn't an option with shaped inlays).

If you would've told me I'd vote for a re-label over a custom, shaped inlay, small crown set, I would've said you were crazy. It was a tough choice, they are both beautiful sets, but I picked the Lighthouse. Let's be honest: relabeling ain't easy. It's time consuming and requires patience. The Lighthouse excels in that regard. The inlays are classy and simple, and the chips individually are great, but work well as a set too.

This is the only voting thread that I went in and changed my vote. I didn't do it lightly. I kept looking at pictures over and over. Awesome sets. I would be honored to play on either one of them.

I don’t see the button to vote for both.

Either of these would crush those Windy Cities or Parks & Rec sets.

That was uncalled for.

Either of these would crush those Windy Cities or Parks & Rec sets most sets in the rest of the bracket (including mine).

Fixed my post.

I have a sensitive soul. What can i say

Are those lighthouse custom paulsons?

 

[WhiteMamba1646]

Are those lighthouse custom paulsons?

straight from manufacture? No

Built with the labor of love? Yes

 

[Changster]

I don’t think a full custom should ever be compared to a re label...

Its a really excellent relabel job. Nice work.

this is where we differ. I believe its alot harder to find the right chips that mesh well together rather than choosing any option you want. Plus the time n energry thats put into removing the inlays and replacing them. Not even gunna bring up cost. Im all for this sick relabel set that i chose to call custom cuz they are personal to him. Not knocking the nirvanas cus those r cool too and love the quarer pie put together but the lighthouse wins my vote

Why not. It's almost harder to do a relabel set, because of the difficulty in sourcing chips.

That being set, I wouldn't want them included in the actual custom set HoF. But for something like this, it's totally fair game.

hey now the Nirvanas were pretty pricey too, not that that should factor into it lol

Your set is sick dont get me wrong. And yea i can see it getting pricey with the shaped inlays and style. Really well done @Chippy McChiperson

Thanks. Much appreciated. @Quicksilver-75 really nailed the label design. I wanted a tribute to the Paris $1, but more personalized (My name is Light — hence, the “Lighthouse”). He nailed just what I was looking for.

Just found this side by side pic. @Quicksilver-75 completely nailed the label design. Exactly what I wanted. And then we just dropped the city and written denomination for the tourney chips.
