Feedback on colors (Cali cash set) (1 Viewer)

[The_dude]

I’m thinking of putting together a small Cali cash set from some chips I’ve been intentionally collecting and one or two I stumbled on. It would be a full inlay replacement, likely a Palms casino theme, as that’s also the name of our neighborhood (Palms DB is on the way). Unleaded is a requirement (which is pretty limiting) — as they’ll be used for family games and the kids like to play with chips.

In order: gray 25¢, blue $1, brown $5, purple $25, black $100

TIA, and take it easy on me this is my first attempt

As far as traditional colors, only the blue $1 and purple $25 fit the "Cali" bill. However there's a lot of wiggle room in Cali lineups, however a white hundred is almost a must-have for a lineup to be considered Cali in my mind. That said, the colors work together, if a bit on the darker/more subdued end of the spectrum.

Chocolate/brown = Cali $20
black = Cali $20
purple = Cali $25
grey = not typically Cali

This set needs yellow

Agreed. Some brighter colors would really make this pop, I'm not sure I'm a fan of gray against the brown

You also have one chip without any 18 spots. They should all have 18 spots or more of a mix

Why are you worried about lead content? Nobody is going to crush them into powder and ingest them, are they?

+1.. When I think cali set I think yellow

This set needs yellow

Awesome thank you all for the feedback, I realize I’m playing a little fast and loose with the “Cali“ designation. Here are all my other excuses: (see next post)

The blue $1 will make a great one dollar chip for a cali lineup. The hard part, as always, is finding nice THC yellow chips.

Agreed, not many unleaded leaded white chips to choose from but I’ll try the ES $1

Also agreed, if anyone has a BTP or SB $5 rack I’ll take it . Though I have seen a brown $5 if I’m not mistaken. The original idea was use the AS $2 as a 20 but I love purple chips so I repurposed it because I have a rack.

Apparently you have not met my children

Here's a couple brown Cali $5's.

Round 2:

 

[RichMahogany]

Orange $5 but those are probably harder to find than yellow haha

I like the white better but the gray really turns me off still

Then may I suggest less expensive chips until they are over their, uh, pilosdiskophagic habits?

 

[FordPickup92]

Still wanting yellow or red even lol

How about a solid quarter in a brighter color... maybe red.

It's like you don't even know me....

What do you think he does with all of the milling scraps?

I would be down for that. Is it possible to find minty unleaded red THC solids?

Drill presses leave relatively little scrap. The stupid router method I use makes toxic lead dust that gets EVERYWHERE. It's not enough that I have to wear medical masks at work, now I also have to wear a freaking respirator for my hobby. I live in the asshole of PCF.

++1 these ^^^

When I think of cali sets, these are the ultimate base colors IMHO.

Gorgeous, and +1 for red denoms

And good luck finding playable quantities. Cue the obligatory @Windwalker tag?

I only have a rack of each, so not quite playable except for heads up.

It leaves enough scraps for me to eat...

My case makes itself, or at least Josh helps

Thanks all for the feedback, this is tough with my constraints. I think if I'm going to do this I'm going to go the CPC custom route. More flexibility, less murder, and the possibility of a yellow 5
