CPC HHR custom hot-stamped set - Vote (1 Viewer)

[Coyote]

A 1,000 serves a two-table tourney as T1,000 and a cash game as 10E (useful in a .25/.50 game with the 5s out of use).
It also serves the concept of winter (the other chips being autumn, summer, stone roofs and springtime).

 

[Coyote]

Bump!
This is a long-term poll, to give time to people to mature

 

[TheBigTater]

C would be the obvious choice to most (also the most expensive) but I'm a fool for a good ol' classic 312 edge spot set, I think B.

 

[Coyote]

Indeed, B is the most loyal to the whole concept (T5=Autumn, T25=Summer, T100=dark stone roofs, T500=Springtime, T1,000=Winter).
The detail I should have released earlier is that my current preferred (and standard, in the future, hopefully) felt is deep charcoal, which could make the T100 of the B version rather dull and lacking contrast in relation to the felt.

to give time to people to mature

That might be asking a bit too much of our general membership....

 

[Davy21]

C !

 

[Coyote]

C !

I have been preparing for this (emotionally)

 

[Coyote]

Has anybody matured?
If not, I 'll be looking for a new job to make the C version come true

 

[grebe]

I went with A for it's simplicity. Like your place over there, beauty in it's simplicity.

 

[SuckoutKing]

C. And its not even close!

 

[FestiveKnight]

I really like all of the 500s designs, of all the chips theres something I don’t like about C100 the most.

I like C the least because if you’re going to have the same spots on every chip it feels like it should be something simpler where the color combos and HS can stand on their own.

Without a progression it feels like I’m stuck wavering on each chip in C where as the simple 312 let’s me consider each chip and move on. I have no clue if that made sense.

With that logic, I voted A because I like the colors more than B and D.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

I voted D. Spots have a classic look that lends to the vintage looking stamp. C looks great but not really authentic. I’d also advise against the Saturn yellow, if that is what you used here. It looks terrible in person. It’s kind of transparent and will always appear to have a whitish line on its outer edge because of it. It’s also the issue with DG orange.

You knew what was going to happen when you threw C into the mix! You did this to yourself buddy. Haha

 

[Rieguy]

On 90% of other molds, I would have probably voted C, but with the HHR mold and the specific hot-stamps here, I went with one of the 312s. I just feel the HHR mold lends itself best to more classic-looking lineups.

I don't think it's an issue with the DG Saturn as just edge spot.
I have the full CPC color sample and I know the Saturn is pretty greenish, like unripe lemon.
But this I think makes a nice match for a dark Retro Green base.

I’m using Saturn as a spot on one of my NCV chips and I’m pretty confident it will look great

 

[Coyote]

For C lovers: Base color Green instead of Retro Green, resulting into spots of Dark Green and still the feared DG Saturn.
Rationale: more weight and lighter base color, so the Horseheads get more visible.

 

[liftapint]

A or B. I'd say B for sure if you change the spot color on the 100 to liven it up a little bit.

In my opinion (which is worth zero), C is the WRONG choice with this hotstamp. This hotstamp (which I absolutely love) screams for simplicity. @detroitdad is just wrong here.

Colleen? Is that you?

I can't see how I can get away from His All 312thness, the @AK Chip 's vote.
Even he (he!) voted for 6D18 here

He should reconsider. LOL.

 

[Coyote]

Puzzled.

 

[liftapint]

I mean, if you want an AS hotstamp set...buy one.

In purely "AS" terms (which is not the only consideration, but it is one):
This C version, albeit very expensive, would be clearly cheaper than the AS, tweaked to my absolute liking color-wise and breakdown-wise, and I won't have to beg, pray and wait.

Still no comments on this by C lovers.
They vote and leave, unlike staunch 312 believers

 

[Darson]

Nik, have you thought about using 4DS18 or 4DS316 instead? These are level 4, look pretty good to me and will cost 2/3 of the level 8 chips...

 

[Coyote]

I 'm getting the love and I appreciate it enormously; you 're indeed a caring person Kuhan
But, for pre-modern village purposes, it would have to be either 312 playing the simplistic card; or 6D18, the latter playing the equally traditionalist "seal / stamp" card.

Needless to say I 've tried 3D14 too. Nothing is more powerful than 312 or 6D18.

 

[Darson]

Arm or leg - your choice

Man, hot stamps just have this amazing look. Love that feel.

Random question - for CPC hot stamped customs, does the stamp change for each denomination? Or do you have everything besides the denomination as one stamp, then you ask them to stamp the denominations at the end?
