I am building a (mostly) solids cg set that has the flamingo $1 as a base chip.
Originally I just had a complete flamingo relable set in the style of @WhiteMamba1646 in mind, but now I wanna go full mixed set, since I don't think those Casablanca $5s should be covered up with their weird but endearing oversized lable.
Since I might go full mixed now, the question is: what 2 other casinos do I choose for my fracs.
It will be a complete relable. I already bought 200 day greens, 140 whites (as a backup) and 60 yellow solids which are on their way to @Josh Kifer for milling and maybe a nice cleaning.

The question is:
What fantasy frac lable would you wanna see on a mixed solid thc set?
Is this whole Idea to create solid fracs on existing sets that don't have em to use in a completely non related microstakes cg set just stupid?

I don't want to deceive any potential buyers down the line since I don't plan to sell this set at any point. If I had to sell at some point, I would disclose of course that these fracs do not really exist in this particular form for the original sets and I would have them made with perceivable differences to the original lable.

I'm just spitballin here, but I think a starlight 5ct yellow frac + an empress joliet day green 25ct might look dope in combination with those:

Looking good! In terms of inlays, ultimately go with something you like. However, you have a pink/red motif going on with the inlays on everything above but the Joliet, so maybe you would want to keep that going on whatever you decide the green chip to be.
 
I think a solid white quarter would fit nicely. Like the green too though. Looks like an awesome set in the making!
Yes, I like the thought of a white quarter... Just don't know if I like it more than either yellow or green. If my game would play bigger, the yellows would make perfect $20s, but as is those would never be used... :(

That is a good point actually. Any recommendations on a lable?

Makes sense.. I still do it though cause moar chips. Also I figure they’ll be in play at some point down the road. My game is SEK 2/4 (about € 0.2/0.4) and all of my sets have 500 and 1k chips. We’ve only had one single 500 chip in play once though and even that was just for lolz. I have plenty of 25s and 100s to cover bank.
 
Those yellows are too pretty not to see play though :)

Moar chips is a valid argument, I have to admit. ;)
Any chippers in your homegame who appreciate the amount of work and money you put into their poker experience? Did you slowly raise your stakes to the level they are now or how did you get to that point?
€0.10/€0.20 will be a big step up for my homegame from the usual €0.05/€0.10, but it is something I will try and establish as the new norm now.
I have 2 gamblers in the group who would gladly play €0.25/€0.50, maybe I can expand the group and build a second game around them.

I agree! 8[

I would not even know where to begin with so many potential options. I would say just take your time browsing and find something you like. A good place to see a ton of different chips at once are @FDLmold's various threads for PCF's favorite X-color chip.
 
Yepp, it’s been gradual. We started in the middle of the poker boom around 2004/2005. It was really cheap sit n go style tournaments at first with €5 buy ins. First cash game was a couple of years later at €0.05/0.1. Stakes was raised to €0.1/0.2 a few years after that and we’ve only just moved it up to € 0.2/0.4 in the last year or so.

We have always played pretty deep with standard buy-ins at 200-300bbs. I feel lucky to have found a small player base where everyone enjoys deep stack play and are willing to play other games besides hold em. I have gone through quite a few on the way though, I can tell you
