man the JACK $1s hit the spot IMO if you're open to white frac.

I've been building a THC set and after starting with Circus Circus $1s, I initially thought about going an all 818 set. But then thought that CC $5s may be an easier fit. So after some help from my new favourite harvesting genius @RivieraDanny I'm now all set with $5s. I have some THC Aruba 818 $25s and realistically I doubt they'll see the felt that often. So now I'm on the lookout for a frac. I originally bought a rack of ES $1s but with the $5s I think that I need something other than the 818.

So please give me your suggestions. I'm not a huge fan of hot stamps or solids so would prefer inlayed chips (either original or murdered).

I think a solid yellow frac would look awesome with the blue $1!!

Thanks for all the suggestions! Looks like pink and white are the main options (of course yellow would be good too but much harder to get).

Another thing worth mentioning is that I really only want 25c for the frac as we usually play 25c/25c when we have a cash game. 50c would be a bit too much for my game (I'm mostly hosting STTs) so PCAs are out - definitely wouldn't want to murder those!

I think I'd like to avoid x18 edge spots since the 1s and 25s already have them. Also the 8V ES are nice but would dominate the 1s. I think the Jerry's Nugget 1s would also have the same impact.

So far the NYNY $1 is the best potential candidate and it seems to fit the flow of the set pretty well. The only downside is the blue edgespot leading to a lot of blue in the set (but not that bad a thing since it's my favourite colour).

I did some digging and have the following chips in my cupboard but I don't think they really work 100%

Jack Cincin $1 look like a perfect fit as the edge progression is better from fracs to $1 to $5. Not a fan of the $25 thou, the colour seem mute

The more I look at it, the more I think the same - it would be even better (yet perhaps impossible) to find a yellow with some edge spots (VLV 1k?). I would have a nice set of primary-ish colours yellow/blue/red/green.

I may just have to use the Jack Cinci for now and search for a suitable yellow chip.

The $25 needs oiling - they're definitely a bit dull right now but the colour really pops with some oil. But I will also keep my eyes open for alternatives - these are low priority for me.
