Athenian Owl Club cash set II ? (1 Viewer)

[BNM]

OK, lots of free time now, so let me think / dream about a secondary Cali set, to be realised whenever. No need for a hundo.
I think I 'm anchored on the ND frac and the $20 (the latter still against the standard color rules). @Psypher1000 is going to put a bounty on my head
The question is about the $1 and the $5. Clearly NOT urgent (at all).

Second 1 and first 5.

Would this be any good?

So, final decision:
NO secondary, Cali or otherwise, set. Unaffordable. Too much, period.
Just a secondary frac, which should be more colourful and not overly "solemn" and austere, like the existing grey/white 212 one.

3DS316 is the spot to be used. Less boring than the 212, still more affiliated (yet a little inferior, which is more than welcome) to the 3TA316 of the main body of the set (the 1s, 5s and 20s). Final.

A gruesome detail: The top value ND 4TA181418 charcoal chips, despite all ambition, will never have the chance of being used as hundos in the owners' lifespan [given the finances of the owner, his crew and the Nation here as whole], so they 're being used in shallow .50/.50 games as 10s (in the absence that is of light green 20s, which in turn see some action in .50/1E games, instead of the charcoals).
Hence, the need for some more colour, to please the eye, especially on dark green or black felts.

Trying to get colourful but not prostitutional or un-ancient-ish, and bearing in mind the rest of the chips' colors (see first picture in post #1), I 've reduced the options to those two:

Either DG Pink w Canary

Or DG Yellow w Retro Lavender

Thoughts appreciated by anyone with a CPC color sample in their hands (absolute prerequisite), but especially by @Psypher1000 , @slisk250 , @Toby , @Ethan , @Saoliver , @JeepologyOffroad and other esteemed Owl lovers.

Of these two options, I prefer the pink chip. I would consider a retro lavender chip with dg yellow spots here, or even dg peach. But, the pink/canary chip would be great too.

Just because @Saoliver picked the one, I'm going to choose the other. DG Yellow base.

I love contrarians like you, especially when they fuel my ambivalence

I would prefer a yellow chip, just not any of the CPC yellows as a base color.

Yeah, but now you 've introduced the "RetroLavender w DG Yellow" demon (could also be Pink -very ancient-ish- w DG Yellow).
It's a hard world to live in

With plenty of time and no money in my hands (plus no games because of the pandemic), here's another exercise for the sake of it (I doubt it ever coming true).
Might as well post it in the "mockups for fun/science" thread.

If Greek law were as lenient and open to interpretation as Texas's, regarding poker, I would already have borrowed the money for starting an Athenian Owl Club card room.
Something like 12,000 chips like the above, for 8 cash tables. For tourneys, even cheaper 312-spot chips (always from CPC though; I 'm a die-hard fan).
Tables would have to be made here, with @T_Chan clothes though

There's clearly a market here for middle class decent and reputable people playing poker, still mindful of entertainment expenses.
The club would be a non-profit institution, it would demand membership, which in turn would demand a bright-white criminal record and recommendation from at least one current member.
Stakes would start from .50/.50 and 1/1 to upwards.
These lower stakes would be key to get the "niche", still huge, market I described above.
If you go to a Greek casino, with minimum stakes 1/2E, the game plays rather like 2/5 and you have to deal with pro, semi-pro and wannabe-pro sharks ambushing the fish.
In underground games, you have to deal mostly with criminals and prison fugitives, mostly Albanian, who are even allowed to speak their language at the table.

But Greek law outlaws even home games (not being enforced of course, like most laws in Greece), so the Dream is Over.

As the self appointed caretaker for your owls, I am tempted to report you to the authorities, sir.

I 'd send them to you below cost if you were to open a legal Athenian Owl Club in Houston
You would have to order several thousand more from David, though

I feel like your chipset needs a tagline.

"Athenian Owl Club Cash Set II: Revenge of the Titans!" or something.
