Sitting Out
I had an idea for a set that I originally posted in the Sports team chipsets thread. Rather than continue to clutter up that thread with my nonsense, I decided to make my own thread to show progress and get feedback from all of you. I originally wanted this to be a small 320 piece cash set that I could fit in a hand-crafted case (inspired by this post). It would have 4 denominations:
100 chips that can be played as either 10 cents or 10 dollars
100 fifty cent chips
100 snappers
20 non denominated chips (could serve as $50s to really boost the bank)
I would buy an extra barrel of each to have as spares and also get me to the minimum order of 400 chips for 4 denoms. This breakdown could easily provide a bank range of $500 - $2,300. It seems like an efficient little set for only 320 chips. However, after ordering my color samples, I've found 5 color combinations that I really like. I just don't know if it makes any sense to have 2 non-denominated chips (not to mention it would be more expensive!) I really want to use DG pink somewhere though. That color just pops right out of the sample stack.
Next step for me I think is to get some inlayed mold sample shuffle stacks. I have been working on inlay design in the meantime. I think I would like to have separate designs on each face. Here is what I have for the fronts so far. I think I've decided against trying to use an official NFL logo. The Viking dude I have there now is just a place holder I stole off the internet.
It is also not lost on me that many of these colors would fit perfectly into a tourney set.
