How bad do you hate it? (1 Viewer)

[AK Chip]

I know I broke some major custom chip rules with the edge spots ,but Ive always liked the look when I came across vintage sets with the same edge spots.

I also ordered a rack of pink for the frac but after switching from a green $25 to the retro lav $20 i thought I needed a darker frac.

I'm prepared for the bad reviews but am still curious on the hate level of the whites spots through out a set.

I’m in the minority but I don’t mind the plain spotting and I also like repeat spotting when done like this so I’m a on this set.

Rules are made to be broken, n'est-ce pas? I like the look, but personally not in love with the frac color. White? LOL

 

[RichMahogany]

I’ve messed around with an all 314 mock up a lot recently so I don’t hate the idea.

I don’t care for the frac color though, too dark IMO and I don’t think the retro lavender chip looks very vintage

 

[72o]

Haha j/k Pat.

I love the look of vintage sets like this...the latest rendition by @dew4au The Signal set comes to mind as an awesome execution of a vintage look.

I would, however, mix up the spot colors per denoms.

I don’t care for the frac either, kind of a panic pick. Had to get the order in.

light blue $1 ..... no complaints from me

I really like the shy clown $25 so went with this colors.

Put white 314 spots on the $1 too, make the frac white, and you 're set

 

[upNdown]

Sets that repeat a 312 pattern aren’t my favorite, but they’re bold and demand to be noticed. These 314s (or are they 318s?) are too timid for my tastes..
Also, I understand the solid frac. But the solid frac and solid one? That’s not for me.

 

[Darson]

I'm guessing you're stamping these so some consideration of how the stamp colour works with the chips should be made. A chocolate chip may not inspire when plain but a chocolate chip with silver foil stamp could look stunning!

 

[TheBigTater]

No hate here. Cash Sets with same color spots can work.

El Conjunto Morado (The Purple Set)


El Conjunto Verde (The Green Set)

I mean, you’re making them for you, not us.... right???

It was the Tropicana stamp and switching to the lavender chip that led me to the darker frac.

Outside of the solid Maroon chip, it's garbage. Only since you asked

 

[AK Chip]

Now I need to decide if I want to switch stamps. The North Star stamp was intended for the 312 set but I might use it for this set and go with the trop for the 312.

 

[Chipenhagen]

As long as the base colors are easily distinguishable, I wouldn't complain over similar spots and spot colors. I'm not fond of very dark chips though, so (at least normally) I don’t love maroon and black that much. With hotstamps the maroon might actually be great. Are you going to use different foil colors?

I don't think that Outposts are vintage. One of my favorite chips of all time, and most of their edge spots are the same pattern. I say do what you like!

Same.

Go for it!

 

[GenghisKhan]

I love it.
To me the same spot pattern throughout a set gives it a classic card room look. Be it 314 or 312.

I've been checking a lot of 314 chips lately, because I've milled a set and I'm looking for inspiration.

There's lots of repeating 314 patterns that can be found on The ChipGuide..and they all look good.

Even the ones using identical spot colors.
Can't wait to see the final results.
I'm also in the spotted $1 camp, but works either way.

Thanks!, this one is on hold, I need to tweak the stamp a bit.

I think the 314 is way nicer than 312 because you can see more of the base color on the edge. This can be key with cpc chips and potential dirty stacks. Plus I just love the look of a 1/4 or 1/8 spot.

I think the mustard "Yellow" is only useable with Imperial Blue (not even alone itself)
I might also have different spot colors on each chip.
The solid Retro Lavender is very nice as a frac.

I love the way the yellow stamps with gold foil. When I start switching colors per denom I start to not like the 314 spot. I shouldn't be ordering last minute but here I am lol

Breaking rules with custom sets? That's all I've ever done! lol

I've liked about every single maroon base chip from CPC that I've ever seen. A maroon frac would be interesting and unique at the same time. I'd look forward to seeing what it looked like stamped.

Simple spots across the board have a certain elegance to them. I'm considering a tourney set with nothing but 314 spots at some time in the future. Overall I'd be happy to sack your design in front of me at a game.

Thanks for the input! This is what I ordered. Small cash set with following breakdown.
100
200
300
60
40
Only at a meet up would there be any quantity of the $25's and $100's and even then I don't see many coming out on the felt. I'm pretty sure this will be the set for the cabin!
