Empress Fracs or leave them alone? (1 Viewer)

[Teach42]

This is my current Empress lineup, mixed primary and secondary. I have two racks of American Place quarters that I was thinking about overlabeling to Empress Fracs. I tested it out with a textured label and found it covered the hot stamp pretty darn well without milling. Enough that I'm considering doing a straight overlabel. Curious to hear what people think.

Leave them as is with the hot stamp? Go with the circle label? Go with the Cam label? Or none of the above, the chip doesn't match the set and I should find something else.... The colors mocked up are an approximation as Gear doesn't have a chip in hand yet. Photo of the actual chips are below.

Thanks for any feedback!

man, i just can't get past the .25c thing. i wanna meet the dunce who signed off on these. or maybe i don't. imagine handing a rack to the cashier and getting handed a single quarter in return lmao.

i think circle label > leave as is >>>>>> cam label (just not a fan of that shape....like....not at all).

It seems to me that overlabeling a Paulson frac is a tremendous waste of resources. No idea what those chips sell for, but I imagine they’re worth something like a few bucks apiece just because they’re Paulson fracs.
But if you want to overlabel, you could probably find some worn leaded THCs for less money, and they’d be a better fit for those Empress chips.

Yeah, .25c, cover that up.

Exact same situation.... tried unleaded, did not like how they felt when directly mixed with those heavy Empress beauties... Find some solid THC's and send them off to @Gear. You won't regret that choice!

+1 on finding some worn leaded THCs and mill/relabel them as quarters.

Personally, I say none of the above. I don't think the colors match all that well and it's and RHC, and it's a legit frac, even flawed with the stamp or whatever. I really like the two frac choices used above and think they match the set well, especially the butterscotch(?). I think a used solid might be the best way to go, and the cheapest.

Hmm.... I didn't even think about the feel of them. May have to try to felt them a couple of times and see how they play mixed in with the leaded.
