My cali THC relabel set is coming along nicely but I need some help. I’ve settled on these denoms so far:

Casab 5 = .25
Paris 1 = $1
RPC20 = $5

I’d love to keep the 18 spot progression and use something like these for the $20 (or $25) and $100 chip but I’m having trouble with getting the right spots with the right colors.

Some spot patterns I like so far for the two higher chips in the progression are
4DS18
8D18
4TSA18

Looking for non-leaded THC chips in excellent to mint condition. The ES $500 cash chip seems like a perfect chip but I’m not sure it is obtainable? Also don’t love a purple $20 considering my $5 has a purple spot. Anything else out there that you’d recommend?

TIA!

Is there a 6d18 in purple THC out there? Then 8d18 for hundo? Seems like most of the new NAGB had the triangles... I know SB had an IHC Pink that was 6 or 8 D18 but you already have pink... love where this is going Ethan!

If willing to go 43mm with the 418 and triangles, that new IHC RPC lavender chip is absolutely amazing in person, and I think it would be perfect in this line up... but a bunch of folks hunting that one already.
 
Dude, yes! I'm doing the same thing with my relabel set with the Paris $1's and RPC 20's.

RPC black $20, chicken coop $100 are the best, IMO.

I'm either going to go with a green $20/$25 or do plaques for the high denoms in my relabel set. Any chip that would fit well is too expensive or unobtanium.
 
Not to throw a monkey wrench in, probably really only me with this point of view, but I like mixed sets to only have one example from one casino. You start using two chips from a casino and even if you relabel, that casino with two chips still overpowers in your mind.

That was my aim when trying to build the same set, but the competition/price on the ES $500s was just too tough. Still, it's a stunner.

Chicken hundos and ES $100s both fit really well, I've just never personally been a big fan of black $20s. I do prefer THC over IHC though.

Yeah I’m starting to lean towards a 4v418 in the lineup. Wanted to avoid the vs but it opens up A LOT of really nice NAGB chips. @Darson pointed out one of the nice ones for the lineup for sure.

I forget where I read the post but @Windwalker made an impression on me when he was talking about keeping THC sets shouldn’t mix molds with IHC. Hadn’t given it much thought but I’m going for a THC set. I want to do my best to stay consistent. May change my mind. We’ll see!

Ooo yes the chicken coop 100 for a black chip is up there on my list for sure. Not a huge fan of the RPC $20 as it feels cheap to me due to the constant reminder of the black majestic chips. No shade - just can’t get past it in my head. I don’t blame you on a green 20/25 as that would really brighten up the set!

Pic stolen from Bob ( @Machine lmao) happy to remove if asked since he is hunting this chip! Haha
Honestly if I go with IHC one of my top choices is this chip but with the green and orange spots. It’s such a nice purple base.

Man I love both of these chips. Great options, thanks! Not sure if can find them in quantity though. Sigh.

I hear you. I agree - it would tilt me to have a ‘custom’ set with 3 to 4 denoms of the same set + 1 alternative. I think I can look past two considering I don’t have any games I play at with NAGB chips. Spots and color patterns take priority over this but it’s good to keep in mind I agree!

ESPT 100 FTW
Yum. This is a contender for sure. Thanks!

Agree with all of the above. The RPC burple $25 may be a good compromise between black and purple for a $20. I think @Ben8257 put me onto that chip and it’s a top spot in my mind too.

Such a pretty chip. Thanks for the suggestion. Probably will avoid repeating the 818 spot pattern in the progression. Sad because there are many gorgeous chips with this pattern floating around these days.

This setup is going to look great Dude
Thanks! Looking forward to finishing it and felting it for chippers that will actually appreciate a nice set. ;) :LOL: :laugh:

Perfect $25 chip, IMHO.
