Badass. Great set!

 

[CraigT78]

Label design is good but those pants are the best! (y) :thumbsup:

Not gonna lie - this comment made me scroll back up. Pants confirmed awesome.

 

[allforcharity]

Niiiiiiiice!

 

[WedgeRock]

Chips look fantastic!

Shorts are another story...

Curious why you matched the base color on everything but the white?

Man, the hundo... Never liked the face of the Tonkas, but always liked them in stacks. Now they look awesome both ways;

 

[DonkeyKing]

Very very cool inlays!

 

[navels]

seriously, though, those Tonkas are transformed.

i really like the blue design on the $1. i know its the only one that is different but the baby blue makes them pop more IMO. its different like myself :

Labels ordered ... :

Do you have a pic with the 4 relabelled chips in it side by side?

Thanks,

[WhiteMamba1646]

i don't have the label's yet. Those are photo shop pictures of what the labels look like.

Ah, ok. I would strongly suggest doing an inlay replacement. Those chips should be straightforward to do.

If you do just a label overtop the inlay it will likely go right to the edge of the recessed area, therefore you are going to lose more of the spots then in your photo shops. You may want to get some sample prints first.

Either way labels look great!

i would but cant afford the price for the inlay replacement at this time. Eventually i will be doing something like that in the future but for my first set i'm gunna give this a shot. I know it wont look as perfect as those photo's lol but still should look great! we shall see.

Curios as to the price difference between a label replacement and just going over top. My intuition is that if you spent this much on a bunch of mint chips you should do it right the first time.

Everyone can save money over time.

 

[WhiteMamba1646]

200 - 1880 lol thats the difference

 

[WhiteMamba1646]

but yes over time once i'm able to save, i can just ship those chips and get it done right, but for now i can at least represent my logo on them in the meantime.

 

[grantc54]

Well, if you are brave you can do it yourself. It is easier on newer chips (which all of yours seem to be), so the only cost difference is $0.05 per label - $0.10 per chip.

[WhiteMamba1646]

oh you mean remove the inlay myself? ive never done it.... lol.

If your careful it's not too hard but I understand if you are nervous. It can also take a lot of time (about 2-3 hours per rack) BUT the end product is worth it (more chip showing and then you can use laminated labels).

Your game plan also sounds good - you can always relabel yourself down the road as well.

[WhiteMamba1646]

yea im sketched on doing it myself. i may practice on some other chips i have that are RHC like my harbor MGM's to see if i can do it.

This man knows something about Paulson inlay replacement.

 

[wonderpuddle]

Yeah go check out @grantc54 ’s post on inlay removal. On some chips, it really is quite easy. I would recommend ordering samples of both matte unlaminated that cover the inlay and then some of the smaller laminated/textured labels, do a couple test chips, and see what you prefer before ordering. On my RHC set, I really liked how the textured laminate/inlay removed chips looked much more.

 

[wonderpuddle]

Here’s a side by side comparison to give you an idea of the difference. The left is an inlay-removed textured laminate. The right is a matte unlaminated over the inlay.

Love the inlays! Is the set somewhere on the site?

 

[wonderpuddle]

Thanks. Not yet. I’m planning to take pictures of both of my sets once I get the Tricycle Club labels ordered. I’ve only got samples on those right now. And I’m thinking of changing the monkey to brown.

 

[navels]

I assume those aren't Gear labels. He does color-matched outer edges so that you don't appear to lose so much of the base color.

 

[wonderpuddle]

These are gear labels. I didn’t have him print samples with color matched edges, but I liked the textured look and feel more so it didn’t really matter for me.
