Looking for Frac advice for my HSI set...which is better? (1 Viewer)

[SJFCPK18]

I am working on completing my first cash set (HSI Primary) and have a couple of options that I picked up. I am looking for feedback on which would go best with the set as an over label.

Just a reference (I do not have any of the blue SYs and have not found any)

I have Yellow with maroon or Dark blue with light blue? Thoughts?

 

[JMC9389]

I like the SY $1's, but I'm not sure how I feel about two consecutive chips with brown spots.

 

[i'm nobody]

That Santa Ysabel looks great as a frac. It would be my first choice.

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

Guys, he said he does not have the SY.
I say go for the blue, to not have a base color repeat in the $5 edgespot.

 

[OfficerLovejoy]

Although the blue seem to be in pretty excellent condition which does not match the rest of the set, right?
I'd start perma shuffling them now to get them ready for your next game.

These options are minty...definitely not used like the rest of the set.

Well it usually makes sense to match the condition of the rest of your set, so that stackhights are the same and the feel of the chips is right. You could buy some used rhc for quite cheap in the classifieds and either use the minty racks for another set or sell those for way more than you'll have to pay for the used rhcs and buy MOAR used chips with the excess cash.

Might be the route to take...what’s the typical going rate for minty RHCs?

Check out the chiproom black friday sale:

Or if you're looking to sell yours check out prices from the past through the search function.

I used red rock $1’s which came out super well. I’d look into those. They should be cheaper and easier to find than the SY $1’s.

I'd love to see a pic of before and after of your Red Rock $'s turned into HSI 25¢ or 50¢ or what ever you did

 

[Bill_Man618]

I’ll take it when I get home. What do you mean by before? I can send you a pic of the rack that I got with pictures from the seller.

I just thought you were the one that re-labeled them. Sounds like you bought them re-labeled. Anyway, still like to see the finished product
Thanks

Here it’s is! I did relabel these. They were bought with a different label on them (tricycle club) which I removed and replaced with these. It’s a full inlay repayment from @Gear. I’m very happy with the result. If you want I can take a pic of them next to other chips in a rack and stuff

How many racks do you have?

 

[Bill_Man618]

I have 1 might add a second in the future though. Bought some of the Roulette chips to use as non-denoms. Once those come in I’ll post a picture of the whole set in the HSI Pron thread.

Not taking into account the chip condition conversation above.

Think you would be better off building around your Yellow and Blue, as maybe Frac and $1, then use HSI for your $5 and $20 / $25.

The yellow with maroon looks dope! Agree with @JMC9389 on not having two chip denoms with consecutive brown spots.

Just curious if you looked at or considered any pink RHC options? I was looking to get some $2.50 fracs for my set and relabel them, but obviously they're hard to come by, so now I'm trying to figure out what the next step should be.

Hard to come by...similar issues

Saw this from @Pippa and @Jeevansluck and have fallen hard!

Now I have to be patient until @Gear is back in the action

Thanks for the pic. I think they look great on their own merit & would work well for a fractional with a non white Base RHC chip for a $1. I don't like the idea of the re-labeled Red Rock AND the HSI $1 primary in the same set as that would too chips that are WAY too similar right next to each other.

If you use the re labeled Red Rick for a fractional, what is going to be your $1 chip?
