I like it with the Vegas line and 1.5 is a great shade. Will be a great set!
With Vegas line imo
Vegas line. don't care for the color matched one. the other two are toss ups. are you gonna do them random or "aligned" If aligned then I think I like the "Las Vegas" centered in between the two spot on the bottom (bottom row far left)

@bentax are you milling these? Or will the label apply over the top of the inlay?
You already know I'm all over as big of a sample set as you want to part with
I would enjoy a 3 chip sample, only if you have extras to spare.
I would like 1300 samples....
Ok, so a little update. I got the first draft sample from @Gear yesterday. The standard label (the colorful night sign on black background) turned out ok. There was plenty of detail, but it looked a little flat overall; It didn't have quite the same impact as the mockup did on a backlit computer screen. I can probably tweak the levels and colors a bit to make it pop more.
However, the B&W vintage photos came out great! I was really impressed with those labels, and even more excited about how they look on the chip (the grays and pinks work really well together). It got me thinking that perhaps I would consider doing a whole set of those. I thought about sets like my old Bahamias, where the $5 chips had about half a dozen variations but could easily be used together as a cohesive set. So with that in mind, I came up with 4 more chips (for a total of 6) that I thought might work well together. The plan (if I go this route) would be to have several racks of each chip in the set.
Any thoughts or opinions on this alternative plan?
Never been a fan of photos on chips, regardless of content or subject matter. But if you like 'em.....

I think I like it better if there are only a few of these chips in the mix as Jack mentioned. The upper right photo does nothing for me...diggin' the chicks on the rocket. Either way this is a great use for a chip without a home.
The photos look cool and I would definitely do then for a few special editions. Maybe 3 or 5 per rack. But I really loved the original black design. If it were me I would work toward getting that design to print optimally.
But I'm also a big believer in making custom (and semi-custom) chips to there liking of the owner even if literally no one else likes them. So if you dig them absolutely go with the photos for the whole set.
Great point about changing the labels if you get tired of the images in a few years!
Does this mean you are selling your Grand Vics?
