No, it’s all good. The hundo and $500 are just Photoshop renderings. The $1, which is color-matched, is @Gear completed work.

If only that $500 spot was petunia instead of green!I’ve never been fully happy with the BTP lineup, and have been hunting for options to keep the circus theme and frivolity going, but stay within the 39mm THC world. Below are the results of dozens of option reviews.
I opted to go with a fat-spot / thin-spot alternating theme, and the inclusion of a green in every chip.
I didn’t really want to mix leaded and unleaded here, but because the conditions all match, I think it works.
Looks like there’s still room for an epic tri-moon frac. Sherbet green/Mexican rose/would both be sweet contenders. Maybe the AS snapper but a bit of a stretch.
Yeah that green spot on the AS frac is great

Right, the hundo has a red flag to match the tent.

When I had my labels done, I got the same colored flag for all of the chips because I couldn’t figure out which chips I’d be using for them.
It’s a cool feature on the original chips, for sure.
It’s little details like those colour matched flags that help make the Big Tops so great.
I can understand the desire to tinker with the lineup, especially the 43mm denominations. I did the same thing with my AS cash set; just couldn’t handle the mixed 39mm and 43mm sizes.

Haven’t done a set shoot in a while, and I broke out the Jack Detroit high-stakes cash set for a game that’s happening tomorrow.
Only IHC set I own, and one of the first ones I ever bought. Extensions courtesy of @Gear, with a lot of help from @Steppenwolf.

Sorting shelves, and so many orphaned $1s waiting for mixed sets to be in.
Good luck!If you don't need that bottom rack on the right...I know a set that it would fit right in with.

The $1 is amazing @Gear work. The hundo and $500 are just Photoshopped renderings for now.
That 5hundo is bonkers. Wow.
Beautiful set! It seems though generally speaking u try to avoid IHCs. Do u not like them? What about mixing them in for higher denominations? Just curious.Haven’t done a set shoot in a while, and I broke out the Jack Detroit high-stakes cash set for a game that’s happening tomorrow.

These Flamingos are calling for me.
That's funny. I can think of several sets where these orphans will fit right in. Just drop them in the mail to me, and I'll make sure they find a good home.

I don’t like them in general, for the same reason I don’t like RHCs. I do however, love IHC v1. Smaller inlay; more room for the hat & cane. Cleaner.
Omg those Derby’s!!!
Also, can you reiterate the reasons you don’t like RHC as well, I’m curious. Have you messed with many leaded RHC sets?
OP
OP
I think it’s just personal preference.
- I tend to the think the outer circles that rim THCs provide balance and harmony to the mold.
- RHCs feel “incomplete” to me for that reason.
- RHCs have the top hat and cane close enough to the edges that a lot of use could see chipping into the mold that’s unsightly.
What mold would you use if you made a CPC set? You might've said it somewhere and I missed it maybe, but I'm just curious.

Those are awsome. Nothing quite like the older leaded IHCs. Great feel and they stack like bricks.

Looks wise I like the small-crown, but sound and feel wise I like the jockey and the B-mold.

Same. But, also, I think the RHC hat just looks weird, and not in a good way. The top corners are rounded off, making it look like a derby. The brim is short and stubby; the sides are straight rather than curved. The cane is short and thin, making it an odd adornment rather than a featured element. The design just looks awkward and perfunctory, lacking the elegance of the THC hat and cane.

Been trying to get @pacmartine to sell me his 80 NL/NC $1ks for a while, but Phil has them locked in stone like Excalibur.
I had to improvise, and after a ton of searching, I finally have a TRK set that can play into a $50/100 NLHE game, with 7 racks of minty $500 chips.

I know iam a "stupid degenerate with zero lifeskills, judgemental sociopath, waste of space and you dont know why i even exist".
but i was still wondering whether you find these chips yourself or if it is the same woman who worked full time for you hunting rare comic books?

I think there's a nice batch of the blue Normandie 50 cent small crowns on eBay right now. Yep, just checked.

There are some weird colors in those photos, but they would make a nice addition to that Normandie set regardless.
