Faux Shaped Labels - Cash, Tourney, Both? (1 Viewer)

[mattross1313]

So I'm just wrapping up the designs for my tourney relabel, and today I added some faux shaped inlays just to see what it looked like. Up to now they have been round white labels with the design on. I like the different shapes per denom, but do notice that most shaped inlays are for cash sets.

Is using shapes on a tourney set up there in the blasphemy levels, much like mixing Clay and Ceramic chips in a set? or is it fine.

Thanks!

Yeah shaped inlays are a no no on tourney sets

Exhibit A

Not sure that it's blasphemous, but I'm going faux shaped on both cash and tourney. However, being a noob I am ignorant on most chipping things

Whatever makes you happy. F*** everyone else’s opinion.

I've never heard of shaped inlays only being for tourney denoms.

I think with shaped inlays you have the additional challenge of a potentially smaller sized area for the inlay design versus a regular round inlay.

Edit: Cut down my response as I thought this was just a question of shaped inlays.

It's hard to pull off and make it look good unless you can match the base chip color accurately. I've seen alot of faux designs that look really cheesy

Just like this?

Yeah, I might be in the minority but I think that inlay is horrible! Love the actual clay portion of the chip though. If there was ever a prime murder candidate...

Nope, that's a pretty bad inlay! Such a shame as the chip is dynamite

Not a huge fan of shaped inlays in general, so voted "Yes, but only if..."

My dream tourney set would probably be hot stamped solids lol

Is there a resource or a post anywhere that lists all the various shaped inlays and their names?
