I've been wanting a large tourney set for a long, long time.
After stamping some T Molds for a couple of members I decided that I'd build my own set.
The side note to all of this - my group doesn't play tournaments anymore and floats between 8 to 12 regulars. So of course I need a tournament set for up to 40 with rebuys.
Anyway, I have always loved two colours from BCC - Sherbet and Chocolate. I decided to use them as the starting point, Sherbet 25's and Chocolate 100's. I've always liked pastel colours so Lavender 500's - once I got some in hand I decided that I didn't quite like them as a chip I'd be seeing a lot of, so they became 25,000's and I ordered some Purple. My fav colour for chips is Pink, so Hot Pink 1000's it is! Then what goes with pink? Canary Yellow of course! So was born some Tweety Birds 5000's. I was missing some 10,000's and really wanted Horizon Blue for those - unfortunately all sold out before I decided to head down this path. Second choice was Red of some type - just couldn't do it though - too much of a clash. Settled on Dark Blue. Don't love it, but it is what it is. Now for rebuys, I wanted to keep the set to 1500 chips (and wanted another colour!!) so I decided on using 2,500's and picked Grey. These will only see the felt during large tourneys- so likely never!!!
I still have to have the stamps designed and made but the theme is set - story to follow later, here are some pics!!!
Kinda look like candy, eh?
