Rate this line-up - Rainbow Club (1 Viewer)

[PocketAces]

We had the "Rate this inlay" series in 2020, and since I like polls, I thought I'd start a series to pick PCF favorite line up. I am going to use pictures of samples I own because as usueful as the Chip Guide can be, picture quality is often...subpar. Sadly I don't have that many samples, so you are encouraged to contribute with your own (cash/tournament, casino/fantasy - THC/RHC/TRK, your personal CPC custom...doesn't matter as long as you own the sample)

What you are voting on:
- color progression/combinations
- edge spot progression
- inlay design
How do you rate the overall design of the set?

What you aren't voting on:
- rarity/availability
- condition
- affordability

tx @Ben8257 for the picture

The inlay saves this set IMHO, very fun. Cali colors. No shaped inlay and no spot changes. A 6.5 but I'm gonna round up to a 7.

sample is missing some of the best chips from the set

I feel like TRK can’t really be evaluated based on progression or logic. They have an intangible style that can’t be boxed up the same way as Paulsons

Interesting insight!

My evaluation:

Small crowns so meh. Inlay is interesting and far from the typical casino style, but even so it doesn't really hit me. The simplicity and consistency of the spots is a feature, not a bug, and it gives the entire set a candy-like feeling (and one that plays well with the small crowns aesthetic). I think there's really something there, a strong style statement... but again, it doesn't really hit me. This falls on the "not for me" side of the line, a solid four out of ten.

Every. Time. Never change @CrazyEddie !

Awesome inlay, meh colours and edge spots across the lineup as a whole. 50c and $5 highlights for me. 7/10.

They had an inlaid nickel too. (Chipguide's pic, not mine, though I do own one)

That inlay. Wow.

I thought about buying Rainbow club $1s a few times. But there was always a sticking point - I didn’t want poker chips that might be interpreted as a political statement (and I’m actually a huge flaming ally.)

I would never have imagined that they might be.
