Hi All, I'm putting together a HSI tournament project. I've already gotten some help/advice from @BearMetal but wanted to post pics and see what you more seasoned(than me) chipaholics had to say. Any advice, chip suggestions, etc... is what I'm looking for.

So the staple will be the HSI primary 25's, 100's, & 500's. I wanted to go 39mm with the 1000, 5000, & 25000's and here are some options i have in my possession. Currently I'm leaning toward the Isle $1's and HSI sec $5's as my 1k and 5k in either order. I really like the yellow GLC as my 25k bc its yellow and I only have 25 of them. The only downside i see is the spot progression and same pattern as the Isle $1's. If I can find more maybe i can switch it up and make them my 1k or 5k's but that the sort of advice I'm looking for. If you want to see pron of other combos not shown please let me know as well.

I Love Carson $1's but they are hard to find and stack dirty with the HSI sec $5's with all that arc yellow. I might not need that many anyway and spot progression is nice so am I nuts for not going this route?
The HShoe snappers will be too tough to relabel/label over per gear.
The Tonk $1's don't seem bright enough to be in the set.
The HShoe $2's are very close the the $100's but to use them as a 25k might not be bad bc the 100's should be colored up by the time the 25k's get into play.
I have HSI snappers and a few fracs but they seem too plain
The HSI $25 sec is nice and the $25 primary will be colored up by the time the 25k gets into play but are they too close to have in the same set?

Thanks in advance
John

I'm mixing the HSI too....

I'm using 200 pri $5 (T5) & 100 pri $500 (T500) combined with Mesquite Star $25 &$100 (large star version).
The more I see these pri hundos posted, the more I like 'm.

Not too crazy about the Isle, HSI sec $5 nor the HSI snapper in that line up....
What breakdown are you looking for ?
 
My vote would be Isle $1, HSI sec $5 and HS Cincy $2! :) super nice chips esp the $2
But the HS Cincy $2 is so close to the HSI $100... They are both great chips in their own, but I'm not so sure they mix well. I guess if @GetUrShineBox plans on coloring up the 100s, then they won't be on the table at the same time.

I still say those oversized inlay snappers are amazing... But only as the 25K chip. Just because they're inlay is different they should probably be at the top.

Gear says these can’t be over labeled or I think I’d 100% go w them as the 25k.

The orange Isle Casino Cape Girardeau 500 would make a great 1K for that set IMO.
And the Detroit Jack red 5 would be better spot progression maybe for 25K

Edit: maybe not the jack detroit 5 after seeing it is same spot pattern as the hsi 100.

I prefer T25 set ups over T5 and don’t really see myself hosting more than 16 people so would probably go 12/12/7/5/3 for 25k starting stacks.
 
I'm in a similar boat with you, though I've narrowed to some slightly different chip options. I don't recommend chasing blaze without a lot of patience and $$. I have only managed to acquire 80, halfway to being usable for t1000. Not sure double that is doable anytime soon. I really liked the Isle $1 and HSI $5 but their edgespots didn't work well with the more complex spots on the HSI $100 and $500. I do love those HS $2 chips though, if you end up not using them let me know, I'd love to use them for my set.

I read Gear's post about oversized labels, and I tried a relabel on one of my HS snappers with some Jack labels I had on hand. Overlabel is definitely not an option. I think the murder and relabel is acceptable. It's not perfect, but for a denom with only a few barrels or as bounty chips I think it's definitely usable. The chip faces look just awesome with the oversized label removed too :wow:

I was hoping you found more than enough to complete your rack and you would sell me the leftovers. Lol
I'd likely keep going, I wanted them to be a 5 and have 300. But the task of getting them has shown me that's not going to be the case
