Paris Chip Labels - $25 Choice (1 Viewer)

[BarrieJ3]

Using BTP $2 for my Paris $25.

In the live set, the labels on the $25s and $100s differ from the $1s and $5s (dropping off the Las Vegas NV and having larger denoms).

Image of real $25 inlay here:

Would you A) try to replicate the $25 but match color to BTP chip as shown in the first mockup

Or Would you B) label the $25 as the $1s and $5s are labeled as shown in second lineup

B

C. Make the $25 match the inlay of the $1 and $5 as all 3 are THCs.

The hundo can be different as its a housemold.

I’ll clean up my confusing language. That’s B.

The RHC is only shown for a inlay design. All chips will be THC.

that was my point. the inlays on the $25 and $100 OGs are oversized

 

[Meathooke]

Definitely B

 

[davislane]

since you are already going off piste why not inlay replace the AS $100 to use as your hundo?

The Aztar secondary $25s would be a great relabel. Now I’m kicking myself for not getting like 13 racks of $5s and some $1s.

Wanting to stay as much in line with set as I can.
Had serious thought to just grabbing a rack of the $25s. But then I’m sitting at almost $5k for a set that’s mixing thc/rhc, I’d like to avoid that.

@casinochipper22 has bulk pricing. Throw him a PM, seems like he’s helped quite a few folks get what they need.

I mean, how often do chips spots match that perfectly? I thought about adding a micro flag to the top of the tower on the $25s, but thought that might be a bit much.

 

[casinochipper22]

if you want to harvest the full set, you can try venetian $2's. They are a little more worn that the paris chips, but green THC with cool spots will seem to fit right in.

 

[casinochipper22]

oh, and B

 

[Ben8257]

I say B... but If relabeling and a cash set. Maybe consider a $20 over a $25.

Option A looks like the Baccarat chip!

 

[BonScot]

Defo B. I did all mine the same as the $1. Think it would tilt me if I hadn’t.

First time ordering Gear labels. Since they’ve probably already made so many of these, is it as simple as just saying standard Paris $20 labels and attaching a like photo? (Outside of choosing the type, number, etc.)

You’ll need to choose the wording as Chris won’t use the same words as live casinos.

The genuine chips say “Las Vegas, NV” so I picked “Vegas, Nevada”. Nobody’s noticed and to be honest I don’t notice it either.

Oh snap! I thought….since it’s a different denom, diff placement, different design, that the location wouldn’t matter.

Awesome set, you were in before it was cool.

Maybe just go with Las Vegas?

Las Vegas NV (just missing the “,”) ?

The quarter is the same wording as the $1. Not sure if that’s a mistake or because there isn’t a quarter available in the casino.

None of my players have ever noticed so I wouldn’t worry about it. Chris is good at coming up with ideas to help you out. If you want an easy life just ask him to use the same designs as mine.

I’m ahead of the times. Next year’s fashion craze is “old’n’fat”

Already tried that

Chris will want it to be noticeably different so he won’t get into trouble and so they can’t be passed off at the casino.

Totally understandable. Thanks for all the info, makes the process a lot quicker/easier on me.

The Venetian $2 would work as a Paris $25.

Venetian $2s just became available. Not the route I was intending on going, but the cheapest by multiples. Done.

Didn't mean to turn this into an order help thread, but what label types did you choose?

Gear's website says to use textured for "recommended when replacing inlays on new Paulson THC chips, or adding labels to milled hotstamped Paulsons or TRK chips", but I'm also seeing feedback that it's actually smooth labels is what should be used?

I went for smooth labels. I’ve got textured on a CPC set and it blends well with those but the difference would have been obvious on the Paulsons.

 

[allforcharity]

I like the textured labels for THC because of the 3/4" diameter, but I think it could also depend on your art. Sometimes smooth looks better, and I think is recommended for RHC size (1 1/8").

(The Abbiati replacements were all done with smooth finishes.)

 

[toothpic]

For the Paris chips smooth label would match much better. With how minty the Paris chips are from these harvest, finding similar condition may be a limiting factor if you're sensitive to that thing.
