From this thread:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/which-green-25-chip-does-the-1-8”-spots-best-vote.123447/

the formula for great green chips is simple:

1. 1/8" spots
2. green‑adjacent spot colors

ponderosa taking this one home.

Not even sure they exist in volume, reached out to a few people recently but no luck (if anyone has some hit me up). That being said, huge fan of the Celebration $25.

And a few other favorites

Also not much love for custom CPCs which is sad.

perhaps it's due to attempts to design sets that deviate from the standard colour scheme. Indeed, looking at the customer HoF, the majority of the sets use something other than a green chip for the $20/25 denom.

That said, there's definitely some absolute banger green CPC chips out there.

One of the more recent releases by @Rieguy comes immediately to mind...

TY sir. Idk if I'll ever be able to make a CPC set without a green chip, even if it doesn't call for one; I'm just too biased towards the color. Not sure I give off that kind of vibe though anywhere recently...

 

[BigGrizz]

I even meant for other colors. Yellow only got like 2 cpcs nominated.

Yeah we were surely missing some heavy hitters

I like that you put the Caesars Formula 1 chips in there twice.

For CPCs, I still remember reading through @Eloe2000 Casa Mango thread the first time before I knew much of anything about CPC/ poker chips etc. jaw dropping

Impossible for a CPC chip to ever win a “best” competition, but yeah CPC fucks

Lots of factors there, a few that come top of mind:

Color palette. CPC has fewer overall color options than Paulson, especially vibrant tones and greens that pair easily across a lineup. You can absolutely get great results, but balancing theme and cohesion is harder.

GOAT bias toward vibrancy. Standalone “GOAT” nominations tend to favor bold, high-contrast chips — an area where Paulson naturally has more range.

Denomination priority. Designers usually reserve favorite colors for the chips seen most in play (fracs, $1s, $5s), and often the $100 for premium feel. The $25 can end up with whatever remains.

Dayglo limitations. Dayglo green is fantastic, but it doesn’t always mesh cleanly with CPC’s more muted palette across a full set. CPC really shines with vintage aesthetics, which historically don’t win standalone GOAT votes.

Material preferences. Many collectors prioritize THC molds, shaped inlays, and leaded chips. CPC realistically checks only part of that box.

Exposure matters. Opinions are heavily influenced by photos and playtime. Customs are less accessible and less photographed, and good chip photography is harder than it looks.

History. CPC sets have an inspiration and history to.. usually only one person, sometimes a broader theme. Paulson typically have a much more storied history that masses appreciate more vs just the one individual creator.

Standalone vs playable. Some "GOAT" chips look incredible alone but are difficult to build playable sets around (e.g., Grand Prix without denoms, Golden Eagle $5 - good luck finding a good $1).

Mass appeal. CPC sets are usually deeply personal projects (people’s “babies”) and aren’t typically designed for broad appeal.

This would definitely win a "Greenest Chip" competition.

Great chip. It's already in post #14

 

[BigGrizz]

I actually really like when things get double nominated because it usually comes with a better picture.

 

[BigGrizz]

Nominations are now closed!

 

[BigGrizz]

Also this is officially the most nominations yet. This one will take a while to get through.

 

[cpac54]

Can we just skip to the part where we vote for the Caesars Grand Prix green chip as the best chip?
