Temporary Alternative chip to Protege 5k and 25k chip (2 Viewers)

[Grimace]

Not sure I’ll go this route but looking for ideas for temporary chips to use as 5k and 25k chips to allow me to use my protege set with a t100 tournament. Any ideas? Something close to the actual chip (base and edge spots) would be great.

5k and 25k’s for reference.

I would prefer mold & clay before base color & spots....

Best option imho, would be relabeling of the Protege quarters Ken has for sale....and start with those as 5K chips and look at plaques for the 25K

I do have two racks of quarters

Anyone know how hard these are to murder? I’m pretty sure this is a job for a overlabel but maybe they are easy to remove? Does @Gear have the files to make a 5k label?

My understanding is that attempting to remove the inlay on BCC chips pretty much destroys the chip. There's not much room for a label on C&S chips, so I'm not sure how well an overlabel would stack.

You could always order ceramic plaques from Sidepot:

You could consider 43mm Web Mold or Greek Mold ceramic hybrids. At least BCC had a history using (the original versions of) those molds. The right IHC chips might also work out with a good label.

Custom plaques wouldn't be terrible.

I love the plaques by them but at $9 per and a min of 100 plaques it’s adds up fast for two denoms. Hmmmm maybe 60 5k and 40 25k get me there. Keep talking I’m starting to change my mine on this……. Or 80 5k and 20 25k.

The $9 is Canadian $ and likely shipped.

200-999 ordered are $5usd so about $7 Canadian plus shipping

Any 43mm Paulson chips come to mind as replacements for these Bcc chips? Tigers? Or btp 25k maybe.

Either isle chip. More the secondary?

How many chips do you need? Could custom plaques be an option? Tina plaques are pretty cheap.

Run a T0.25 tournament, you already have the chips for it.

They absolutely could. I’m looking into plaques from her. 43mm chips are intriguing too.

This is very true

Clay web mold or small Greek key chips would be a sweet replacement too if the right ones could be found.
