Fracking my brains: frac choice help needed, please! (1 Viewer)

[jr8719]

Seem to spend most of my time during this isolation period planning for my trip to Vegas next year — not least my harvesting plans!

Have come to the conclusion that there are too many nice $1 chips on the Las Vegas Strip just to create one set with.

So, in true Scrub Donkey fashion, I'm creating two.

There will be two label designs: one using the Riviera logo because, with my surname being Rivers, one of my golfing buddies has always nicknamed me Riviera.

The other will be THE CARDiff CLUB: a simple play on words using my birth city.

There will be two themes: one set with traditional Vegas colours, the other using non-traditional-kind-of-Cali-inspired-but-mainly-whatever-looks-good-together colours.

Feel as though my Vegas one is nailed...

... But boy am I struggling with a potential frac for the second set.

Help me, PCFers. You're my only hope.

If you decide on Red or Chocolate solid, then I've got a bunch I can mill for you. Feel free to PM if you want to discuss.

Just to note, I had difficulties picking up any venetian $1s. They were real stingey with them and I didn't see many in the tables that looked new.

What about a Day glo green frac like the ones for Garden City? Or is that color too hard to get?

Ahhhh, thanks for the heads up! Might try a Bally's $1 in that case, although that's a lot of blue shades in one set then.

Yellow

Yeah, was thinking yellow initially — and this particular CDM $1 spot pattern flows really nicely IMO. Relatively available on the market, too?

I know it's RHC, but I've been considering the Harrah's 5s. Seems to be a slightly brighter shade of red, which I dig.

Cheers, my man! I know it sounds weird, but seeing as these are going to be label overs, I think having milled would tilt my OCD a little, unfortunately.

I mean, 80 of these would be SICK and I'd probably stretch to $400 if my winnings (big assumption, I know, lol) in Vegas could justify...

Even a solid yellow would work, I personally would try to find something with smaller edgespots that dont pull away from the other chips, but that's always easier said than done

Nice work on two sets!

Really like the CDM $1 in there, but the blue doesn't seem right to me. Maybe a darker/different blue? Example...(edgespots are off...)

What chip is that dollar?

 

[detroitdad]

Red or Yellow solid frac (or simple edge spot pattern) would work best imo.

 

[BirdCage]

What chip is that dollar?

A nice one!

A nice one!

Looooooove this chip... Never seen it before! Only problem being that I will probably want the bulk of the chips — especially the dollar chip as that will be my workhorse — coming from a Vegas casino so I can pick them up at face value, essentially.

Are these obtainable? Live?

36mm Horeshoe WSOP yellow... I think we have a winner, potentially?

I could dig that

Have you got an example photo at all, please?

No idea! I just used the ChipGuide's Query Facility to look for one to match what I had in mind --> http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_query.php

Others might be able to help with regard to what is close in design and harvestable!

 

[jr8719]

This could definitely work, too...

Well, actually I guess Dayglo Green is a COC color and the Paulson equivalent I was thinking of is Sherbert Green. Though they do also have a Day Green. Here’s some links I found here:

Sherbert Green was the one of I was thinking of:

And here’s a thread of samples that has both Day green and Sherbert green:

Even the live Circus Circus $1 could work...
