Did the name catch your attention?

Well a lot of guys have been helping me, so now I'm ready to pull the trigger on a custom CPC Set. After handling some at Chanman's place I realized they were my favourite, and I really do want to go custom.

Our group calls ourselves the Handsome men's club (just for fun, we're not a bunch of arrogant cunts ;)), and I live on "Camino Dr" so we jokingly call it Camino Casino, but I also like the idea of calling it Camino Royale for the set. THIS THREAD has a bit of this info, so while I don't want to spam the forum, this post should be in here instead.

Details
.25/.25 or .25/.50 ($20-50 buy ins)
400-500 Chips
Current Chip Colours:
Pink/Blue Frac (@JustinInMN recommended to go butterscotch and while at first I didn't, now I kinda like it)
White/Blue $1's
Purple $5's
Brown $20 plaques

400 Breakdown: 100/160/120/20 ($1200 bank), I could also supplement this with $100 plaques from BRPro or another barrel of $100's if CPC is flexible with their minimums
500 Breakdown 100/200/180/20 ($1500 bank) Same as above about supplementing with plaques


Tony's already making me a table that I'll take delivering on mid next year, and for my inaugural opening of my poker room, I want to have custom chips made. I'm already spending quite a bit on table, chairs, not to mention the super expensive reno itself. I do have an okay budget, but want to stay around $1000 USD ($1300 Canadian). Now looking for design help.

Here are my mockups:

With one set I could probably only get 400 chips with my set, with the less complex edge spots I could do 500.

Cheaper set: 25c/$1/$5/$20

Awesome! The trick with doing purple fives instead of red is just making sure it doesn't get close to the blue. Going the sky blue helps for sure.

Looks good.
 
My advice would be to try not to repeat base or edge spot colours within adjacent denoms, and maybe not even within 2 adjacent denoms.

For example, take your first set. Your $20 repeats edge spot colours of both the $1 and $5 (and at the same size, too). With the base black of the $20, consider using only 1 Bright White spot, add 2 Dayglo Yellow spots, and maybe one of the Reds. You can probably go wild on the $20, since you're only getting a barrel, and the total cost between levels won't be killer.
 
Like this? Thinking the $1 Edge spot clashes with the 25c. a bit. But this is a bit of a crazier take on the chips. The 4th chip (the $20) is base black and has the edge spots of the other 3 combined. I like it, and I can't really see much of a dirty stack issue ever happening there.

Below is an example of a good economical set. The frac and the $20 being level 2 and the others, which I'll have the most of, are level 1

I actually think you are okayw ith the red spots on the one being different enough from the quarter pie.

Also you will have one of the only blue and red singles if you stick with this because with red being a normal color for a five usually excludes it from frac consideration.

I like the idea of what you did with the 20, but I would be a little worried it clashes with everything.

Red's my least favourite colour, so having it as one of my workhorse chips is out of the question. It's also why I changed my DDLM $5 to a purple, purple is just too nice a colour to waste only on tournaments.

I see what you mean about the $20. I just really like that style. I also added a second pic which you may have missed, it has the white $1 and I think that setup looks better and may resolve a potential $1/$5 dirty stack issue.

Here is a pic of my hot stamped H molds I’ve had many years. Just posting because I think we have the same 5’s and I also have a light blue chip. Hopefully this gives you a little information what your set may look like. Edit-also a butterscotch!
 
For this progression, the blue $1 is nicer than the white $1.
I thought the white would be, but I'd take your advice on that.

What are your thoughts on the $20? And if I did add a barrel of $100's What colour would you guys suggest as a base to round out the set?

If you're keeping your current progression, then maybe something on the orange spectrum.

But, as it is, you're not too far away from a California progression right now. If you switch the Butterscotch Yellow to $5 and the Lavender Green to the frac, then you're there. Add a white base $100 to complete.

(California: Blue $1, Yellow $5, Black $20, White $100)
 
How about this? I think I'll stick with the butterscotch Frac, I REALLY like it and I'm not too fussed about being consistent with Cali/Vegas standard colours.

Am I crazy with this one? Would probably go 100/200/200/40/20. We don't play deep and a $4000 bank is more than enough. 6-8 players.

Now I'm deciding between that larger edge spot, or the smaller seen here.

so, haven’t made much progress on the chip side unfortunately.

I’m likely going to do a CPC custom set still, but thinking the chip room sale is tempting as well.

however, I have finalized my table design thanks to Tim!

Don’t forget to read the betting line. ;)

You can ignore the compression artifacts. Apparently those are just an effect of the JPEG.
