Stardust Poker Mansion Quarters - from Orleans Buy In Chips (1 Viewer)

[justsomedude]

I was a big fan of the light blue Orleans buyin chips (RHC mold) when David Spragg made them available a couple of months back, and thought they would be perfect for a fracs relabel project. I couldn't really visualize how they would look as quarters, but snagged up a bunch when @Psypher1000 offered some to me. After some ultrasonic cleaning and oiling, they were ready to go.

I finished the first 200 this weekend, and I have to say they fit the SPM set damn well. Dare I say, I think I may like these even more than the custom CPC quarters coming in next month (but I'll withhold judgement until they arrive).

Here is a first photo with the @Gear label...

More pr0n to come with the entire set soon!

They are not a bad choice for sure but I'm thinking the 414 spot pattern wins.

Agreed... I'm just OCD about chip weight, and love having Paulsons with Paulsons. :/

The FDL chips I have already do not feel lighter than the SDPMs. I think the difference in diameter on label vs. Inlays would drive me a little more nutso than the weight difference. How much larger is the label vs. the inlay. It is noticeable.

Here is one of my FDL's I initially had made by CPC - this chip is one of twenty that has been extensively and excessively shuffled for over a year. Inlay almost the exact same size as the SDPM inlay.

I went with a bit larger sticker, because I don't like the "space" around the label - I wanted it to be a snug fit in the recess, like the official SDPMs. I used 1.12" as a cut size with Gear, which is a bit more than 1-1/16". The official SDPMs are a little less than 1-1/16". It's noticeable if you sit and compare the two, but for some reason it doesn't tilt my OCD-meter like the lighter weight CPCs do. The slightly larger diameter of the FDLs (compared to the SDPMs) also bug me a bit.That's just me though.

I'm not complaining though... my CPC quarters and nickels will see plenty of play. I just wanted a Paulson option for the set.

FWIW - I like the light blue better - but didn't want to miss out on the group buy chips either so I'll have both just like you have only both mine will be CPC. I may have Gear make labels for my 414's. When I had my quarters made I had no idea We could finagle the SDPM artwork like we ended up with or my initial quarters would have had that instead.

They look great! Nice job.

I'm with you on this. In hindsight I feel like I got sucked into the "hype" that was swirling around thew new DayGlow Blue color, and went along with the voting crowd for the GB. I think I really prefer the light blue for quarters in this set. The DGBlue may pop just a bit too much against the other colors. Oh well. It is what it is at this point.

 

[BPTDirector]

I think the GB chips will look fine man. I'll be glad to have them and appreciate your effort bringing them to life. It's all good.

 

[BPTDirector]

FWIW - once we had the min numbers if it is like any other CPC order I've ever made we could have had a different color combo per 100 chips. I was thinking DG Tiger with Black stripes the other day would have looked very cool also.

That was the exact reason I bought them. I'd love to get some more of those 414-spotted Good Luck Club RHC 10's and relabel them again, but the odds of me finding those again in quantity are low so these seemed like a great option at a pretty reasonable price.

I hope you don't think I created the 'hype'... When asked, I just mentioned I favored the Peacock, for the color smoothness and to differentiate from the $25s a little better... FWIW, I think both blues would look good...

Daaaaaaaaamn.... those are sekzee!!

Hahahaa... I'm not complaining nor am I "blaming" anyone!!!! Just one of those, "oh crap, did I make the right decision?!?!?!?!?!" moments. I'm always second guessing.

Seriously - I'm still totally stoked on our CPC SDPM FRAC GB.

Those Orleans chips look stellar with that set. If anyone has a few extra, please let me know so I can complete my quarter relabel as well! (/endthreadjack/)

Not Good Luck Club, but I think this seller may have a bunch of these. Same chip, different inlay:
