How about Tiger sec $5 as a yellow frac?

Too complex?

In my mind it needs to be leaded…. Possibly wrong thinking but I’m stubborn

Pca frac would be a good option!
Or something yellow. Preferably spotted imo

 

[louBdub]

If you add a frac that’s not leaded….

I will voodoo doll you daily.

Good to know I’m not the only person who feels this way

Yellow or mustard. There are a ton of leaded mint mustard roulettes out there and they can be had at a good price.

I have some pretty twisted theories about fake chips and milling and whatnot, so grain of salt.
But when I had a leaded, shaped inlay full casino set without fracs (Foxwoods) I used starbursts as fracs. To me it’s the perfect answer because they’re leaded THCs and there’s no worry about what shape the inlay should be and or how that would fit into the inlay progression. Also they’re solids so you don’t have to worry about spot progression. And my god, near mint leaded THC starbursts are a joy to handle.

Edit: and fwiw, there’s a strong tradition of casinos using hot stamped fracs with otherwise inlaid sets.

100% agree with @upNdown. I have "inlay replaced" sets which I was happy to modify the frac too. However for the set I had with original inlays the solid starburst was a great option and I think would suit your set well.

HS avoids the inlay shapes. Non denom starburst has most flexibility. More fungible in the future for other stuff. Can easily swap out colors if feeling frisky. Probably cheaper (and much faster) than getting new frac inlays made. Is visually complex in its own way that it won’t be as jarring from a solid frac to that stunner $1 chips. Keeps the set wholly original

 

[BiGGyT]

I would suggest Paris $1s.

 

[Natskule]

I would suggest Paris $1s.

seconded

Or maybe Silver Nugget or Nevada Club or maybe Montbleu

Sahara's would be perfect if THC, not house mold.

Fucking wild….

I read this, and was like YES. Had to scroll up to see who posted it, and I was conflicted.

@upNdown & I agree!!!!

I have the following racks coming to look at as well…View attachment 1291555View attachment 1291556View attachment 1291557

Day Blue FTW!

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

Since you liked my suggestion, a little pron.

 

[allforcharity]

Would you consider CDI98 $500 purples? THC leaded. I got a couple spare racks.

I don’t think so. I’m pretty set on a solid chip for the frac. Just sold a rack of those myself!!

 

[Annorax]

I like the color on the VLV 50, but the spots seem a bit too much for a frac. I wonder if anything pink has been made with the same style of spots as the Flamingo $1 spotted bird, that'd probably be great.

 

[Wheeler Assembly]

A couple more options…. I’m really digging the day blue! Not so much on the chocolate. Still waiting on fuchsia and arc yellows to arrive before making a final decision.

 

[Natskule]

I know many are spot adverse on Fracs, but I still think that Paris $1s would look great. Too bad they aren't leaded.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Yellow will pop up one day

 

[calfdemon]

The day blue really plays well with the $5 spots and looks great with that set.

 

[Wheeler Assembly]

I’m surprised about how much I like the blue

 

[GreekRedEye]

blue makes a ton of sense to me.

 

[ChipFinderSK]

Use the blues until you can find yellows at less than $600/rack.

I was half joking before, but mustard might actually be a good option as well

 

[calfdemon]

I honestly don't see how yellows could look better with that set than the blues... and this is coming from someone who likes yellow fracs. The 1s and 5s in that set both pay tribute to blue fracs.

HS avoids the inlay shapes.

Just get some leaded hot stamps and make your own. Worth it.

I can help with this route, I’ve got several HS racks in this color.
