Thank you so much, about to make my own post here, same pictures, more exaggerated story .

Presenting for your voting pleasure, the Free River Club Tournament set.

A high roller set by denomination, but definitely a low-roller of a price to assemble .

These are the 8v Chips from the ABC clearance with custom labels. These are are just business grade glossy labels from onlinelabels.com instead of using a more expensive option, but I think it still suited the design quite well.

The T500 breakdown is becoming my personal favorite, and it is quite efficient for 18 or 27 players.

I do have a very simple clear design with denominations and a single symbol. While I went with more elaborate local pictures on my cash set, for this set I opted for a simple symbol, but one from an important part of recent Minnesota history, the rebuilding of the I-35W bridge over the Mississippi river. The symbol is inspired by the sculptures built at either end of the crossing.

So overall, I didn't spend a lot, and while still in the local theme of my cash set, a distinct, plain, clean design to complement when I host tournaments.

I appreciate your consideration .

 

[JustinInMN]

Just considering the labels, @jr8719 and I actually went with a pretty similar design. Red simple text for denominations, simple club names. My use of the bridge sculpture is the only flourish.

That said, he used Paulson's and they look fabulous. I used a different sort of chip to be sure .

Great chips made even better by a great story! I absolutely love 'em!

Normally I never cared for the Jack Casino -- the design is way too traditional for my liking, but those colors are beautiful, the edgespots are varied and the concept works on paper. I could see anyone from 20 to 80 using this set and not complaining about its design.

The Free River is nice but I think the RNG Gods got Justin by having a person with a set of Paulsons go to town in the first round. I kinda liked the FRC ceramics a little bit more also.

My vote was for the Jack chips and damn you @jr8719 for making me vote for a chip design that goes against my values. You are definitely a cut above most people I know.

i voted but will admit this one was the hardest

Thanks for your very kind words, man — I'm blushing over here!

I'm definitely a sucker for the more traditional, vintage inlay designs, so wanted something timeless using JACK, as that's my first name. Something that would appeal to 20 and 80-year-olds alike, like you said!

I like a lot the classic inlay of the Jack. Red denom, very old school font. Well done !
Chips chosen are also very nice. I like the lineup a lot.

The Free River tournament set is also very nice. Classy design, I like the colors of the chips. The 25,000 is my favourite. Doing a tournament with all 8V chips is a very good idea.

It's kinda funny because I am normally the exact opposite. When my custom set was made, I told Woody that I wanted a set that would make a 20- year old girl say "I gotta get me one of those!"

In fact one of the things I am known for is not being impressed with a thing called the Gulfport chips which one of my friends said looked like something from the '70s.

So yes, I am going against my normal motif by supporting this (plus I didn't care for the Jack Casino look as it was way too plain Jane), but you did make me like a traditional style chip.

This was exactly my thought when I saw the ABC clearance on these .

In fairness, I think both of our labels are pretty plain by design .
