Relabeling chips. Do I need to remove the inlays? (1 Viewer)

[CW23]

I have been putting together a mix set that I plan to relabel. My question is, better to remove the inlay or label over it?

Anything that anyone can add or any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks all,

Chris

All chips are unused or ex/mint. BTW

Pros and cons to each. My preference is to remove the inlay as you can use a laminated label which is much more durable and has more options as far as look/feel. Big downside is there is no going back (although I have heard removing some labels can damage the inlay underneath on some chips).

Also big plus side is you tend to leave more clay exposed when doing inlay replacement. This can allow more of the edgespots to be visibile.

Does gear do a removal and replacement? If so do you have any idea how much they charge?

Yes. I believe his latest rates are in a thread in his vendor forum area.
