How do I complete my Horseshoe Cleveland set? (2 Viewers)

[GreekRedEye]

I decided I don't want two cash sets (I have DDLM for .5/.10 and HS Cleveland for .25/.50). Easiest thing would be to add on to the DDLM, right? So of course I have decided to expand the HS Cleveland instead. I just prefer clay for cash games.

First, my current breakdown:

• 100 x Majestic Star T500 (36mm)
• 100 x moss green HS T25 (36mm - relabeled as 25c)
• 150 of $1 HS Cleveland
• 140 of $5 HS Cleveland
• 100 of $25 secondary HS Cleveland
• 10 of $100 HS Cleveland

I need some crowd-sourced wisdom. Here is where my thinking is, but open to any good ideas:

1. Option 1: relabel purple T500 as 5c and buy more T25 moss greens. Problem is, I can't find more moss greens!
2. Option 2: relabel moss greens as 5c, buy more purple T500s and relabel as 25c
3. Option 3: buy 2 racks of something completely different as a frac and relabel either the T500 or moss greens as 5c
4. Option 4: relabel the $25s as 25c and find something else to relabel as a $25 or $20. I really love the $25, so this would be a way to put these into play more. If I did this, I would be tempted to find a yellow or pink to relabel as 5c to match the edge spot

I plan on getting more $1 and $5. Will put up a wanted ad soon.

i personally don't like two green chips in a lineup. Perhaps a blue quarter and purple nickel?

 

[Bacon Dad]

Have you considered a solid orange frac in lieu of the purple? The solid moss and orange would play with the $1 nicely.

I agree.
Pink, blue, orange etc can all be used as different denominations, but green seems to only work as a $25. Maybe it's just me.

If you stay with the moss green, I'd prefer it as the 5c, because you'll likely not use it in the same game as the $25.

I think for your quarters you should go with
Paris 1's
or Flamino solid 1's

I was thinking this set needs a little light blue…those Paris $1 are great for this.

I had the same thought about moss green as 5c - I don't think the $25 and 5c would ever meet on the table. I also would only need 100 of the 5c so lack of supply of these chips would not be an issue.

I got the set this way. They are distinguishable, but not my preference either.

 

[Bacon Dad]

Do you guys think the Paris $1s could be overlabeled versus murdered?

 

[GreekRedEye]

I had not. And you are right. A pot with moss green 5c, orange 25c, and this white $1 would look cohesive.

 

[GreekRedEye]

Do you guys think the Paris $1s could be overlabeled versus murdered?

Yes - I would like to know if folks have successfully over labeled the Paris $1. My preference would be to over-label any chip I add to the set. Both for philosophical reasons (I don't like destroying an original inlay) and practical (it's cheaper and I can change my mind later!).

Thanks for the link. I just pinged @lewan to see if the $5s and $100s are still available.

I see a lot more HS Cincinnatis circulating than Clevelands. So if anyone has a line on Cleveland $1s please let me know.

@SpaceMonkey420 might have some cleveland 1s, i think they had a large set.

 

[DirtyTIVA]

@TheJestyr has a lot of clevelands

 

[DirtyTIVA]

Cleveland $1s aren’t that rare obviously but they’re not commonly available outside of a set these days. @arch3r has… a disproportionate number of racks of them.

Do you guys think the Paris $1s could be overlabeled versus murdered?

If the $1s are in EX+ condition yes the inlay groove is deep enough to fit an overlabel without spinners (the label still has to be thin).

Nice! Those are tata-rific!

Good info too. Do you know of any way to gauge or measure if the inlay groove is deep enough? Or is it just a try-n-see kind of deal?

Paris 1's
or Flamino solid 1's

A very quick and crude attempt to visualize the Paris $1 in the set. In the pro column: I love the Paris $1, per @DirtyTIVA they can be overlabeled, and they are readily available. Goes great with the $100 I think. Not sure how it goes with the rest of the set, though.

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

Hwre are some paris 1,s overlabled, i will send a better picture later

 

[Bacon Dad]

Well done with the mockup. Consider puling similar pictures of the Horseshoe Cleveland chips that you have and look at them all together with the same quality image. Could make a difference in how you feel about them all together.

 

[ovo]

get more 100's , so when you game grows bigger

Nice set of chips!
What stakes do you use for this set and what are the buy ins and rebuys like for you?
With $4k in 100s, you bank is probably never short.
Do you always get into the 25s?

 

[GreekRedEye]

@TheJestyr has a lot of clevelands

Where do you think I got the $25s and $100s? I may need to go back to him hat in hand for $1s and $5s.

Want to make sure I have my breakdown right before I start asking folks to sell. Thinking I will go with a variation on the Quad Johnson standard:
100 5c
200 25c
200 $1
200 $5
80 $25
20 $100

Anyone disagree? Most games will be in the 10c to 50c BB range. Occasional $1/$1 range. Rare if ever $1/$2. I don't see myself ever going above that.

That overlabel is so good, I said to myself, "What overlabel? Where is the overlabel? @RowlettTexasChipGuy is full of...ah...I see it now."

We play dealers choice
Original buy in is $100
25's get in play
100s really don't

Thinking of making the 100s into quarters or 1's so they do get in play since I like that chip so much

 

[TheJestyr]

I LOVE MY CLEVELANDS!!!!!!!! But I can absolutely part with some $1's and $5's...haha

I use a yellow chip for my .05 and a light blue for my .25. I love my lineup.

 

[TheJestyr]

I also have a couple racks of horseshoe snappers and scandia casino $1's if you're interested that already have horseshoe cardroom labels on them.

Oh. My. Lord. I had no idea.

I am interested. Will PM later tonight.

The amount of chips here is just disgusting.

Love it.

 

[DirtyTIVA]

My one additional thought regarding relabeling Paris $1s here is condition matching. The Paris $1s will be sharper than your used $5s for sure. There’s also THC vs RHC but the native $1 is THC so shrug.
