Help me pick a frac for my Bellagio tribute (1 Viewer)

[Colquhoun]

Finishing up my Bellagio tribute set, and trying to decide on a frac design.
Since my favorite chip, by far, is the original $10:

Here are the options:

This set has no place for the $10, so I figured I'd incorporate it as a frac. The decision to keep it as I love it, or simplify it to make a better progression is tormenting me.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.!

I’m a progression stickler, but in this case… use the OG imo. Looks good. Love that chip.

I love the Original 8V chip, but I'm concerned the frac and $20 are going to look very similar if these are cards molds/ceramics... I'd maybe go with the $25 instead of $20. Progression wise a 4V would also work without losing the feel or making the frac the most complex chip.

Part of me wish that the original $10 can be the new $20 and have another fracs option to pair with the new line-out so I choose 3

Just realize I not really helping in picking out a frac

I hear you...I wanted to use the $20 for the cash set and then the $25 as part of a T25-based tournament set.

I've thought about dirty stacks, but the original $10 and $20 didn't really suffer, is that because they're neon colors? Maybe cards mold ceramics will make these 2 chips look too similar?

problem is, I love the original $20 too....and I'm trying to keep is as faithful to the original set, within reason.
This is tough.

Id use that as the frac and the 8v as the $20, the OG $20 is balls

If you are going to T100k you wont need T25. Just have a T100 base set

The originals are "Orange" $10 and Arc Yellow $20 I think. They'd never be in play in the same game really. $10s for $20/40 and $30/60 games, $20s for $40/80 and $80/$160 probably.

Progression-Wise the $20 would make a great frac, maybe err on the yellow side for the base color and use the Orange 8V for the $20 in a nice saturated orange base.

Solution: order 40 racks of 5s and you never need to worry about needing 20s in play. Then you can use the 8v frac. Problem solved.

“I only keep 3 racks of $5s in my sets. That way, I can get more $20s in play.” — @JeepologyOffroad, to me yesterday.

I use a similar formula as well, lol. That way I get different denoms into play. I just need to figure out how to get some 500s into my .5/.10 NL game.

What is this being made on?

Tina’s no-mold ceramics

I’m a fan of either as long as you tell me where I can order some lol

I’m doing a small order for myself to start, but will likely offer the art in a group-buy in the future.

Nice, I’m looking forward to seeing them completed! The 1998 Bellagio’s date one of my favorite chips so I’m glad you’ve made a set of them.

My sample is just misssing the $25 to be complete.

I voted something else. I played 1/2 and 2/5 back in the day with these chips, obviously with 1s and 5s mostly. I remember seeing some 25s in play too, not sure about the 100s. These chips all have the 1/8" spots with 2 colors (except the hundo), and I'd like to see the quarter fall in line better with this pattern.

If I had to pick an option, it would be 2 because of the progression.

I say do what makes you happy, but worry a little with dirty stacks.

Edit to say that I love the 10 way more than the 20 if I were changing anything.

[SteveEH]

How about a butterscotch frac with white spots, or a dark color 1/8 spots? Maroon/chocolate?

I agree, the two colors are close enough to maybe cause dirty stacks. Modern Bellagio or old Mirage design is not too bad either.

 

[ktran]

Maybe make the I a #1 in a font where it looks like I. BELLAG1O

 

[DontKnowWhen]

Make both lol. Kinda like the Arias tributes with black 100 with both white or ivory edge spots.

Nah these hundos colors are hot!

Yes these hundos are! Was suggesting to make both versions of the 25c frac
