You know what... I'm having a change of heart. I actually don't think there's enough brown. Need more brown. Step it up Verdechipper!

At the end of the day It's just preference. I fell in love with some of the old Binion's chips with that type of edge spots. They have a vintage/older feel to me. I gravitate to the sets that look like they belong together. Some cash sets look too wild-ass for me. It's like they spent too much time making the chips completely far away and different from each other that they don't have a cohesive feel to them. If the colors don't compliment each other or the edge spots are totally different from chip to chip, they just look like a mismatched set of chips. It bugs me. There are some sets that are able to make it work with the same inlays. I like my inlays to use the some of the chip color so they are easier to tell apart when splashed, but still have same design. Been watching some World Series of Poker broadcasts lately and the chips they use all have the same style edge spots. They usually have 10-12 denominations of chips and while they share some colors in the spots, there doesn't seem to be any issues with chips blending and causing dirty stacks. They belong together and are still pretty easy to tell apart, even though some of the colors are close to each other. With all the levels and "coloring up", there are usually only 4-5 different chips in play at a time - like a cash game. I'll have 5 colors in my set, but typically only 4 are in play, with 3 doing the majority of the heavy lifting. Some of the color values are close, but I'm really trying to keep from repeating colors. I've been getting some great feedback from the forum, and most has been very helpful in both keeping dirty stacks at bay and still encouraging me to have the color palette that I'm looking for. I think I'm getting pretty close.Is there a reason you’re keeping the same edge spots between each chip? Just curious, I usually see that in tournament sets instead of cash sets.
Just food for thought, and maybe you have - tried a game with your group without the 50c chip?At the end of the day It's just preference.

Our game has been going for 15 years or so and has, more or less, the same cast of knuckleheads. There is no concern for cheating/collusion etc. Even if some colors are pretty close (mainly butterscotch and BROWN) my hope is that our game won't have too much trouble telling them apart. The 50c frac still seems ridiculous, but the game really, really wants to keep it, so I'm leaning that way at this date.
A little long-winded to say, I like the same edge spots.

Go back to the black for the $20 chipVersion 4,342. I got me a butterscotch, green, and my brown. The meeting seem to be helping, but only a little. I'm starting to really like the $5 terra cotta. $20 now has a little bit of a desert flower to it.

To answer your question, we always played with at 50c chip in our game. It’s just what we started with - honestly didn't know any better. Now, it’s really just about giving the illusion of having more chips on the table to start. Everyone likes a decent pile of chips to start - hard with only a $20 buy in. Our game has another weird feature - we buy in with $20, but we get $40 in chips. Again, just for the illusion of more chips. It's a good game, just cheap. It reminds me of the scene in the movie Rounders, where all the grinders are at the same table playing each other, waiting for the fish to sit down.Just food for thought, and maybe you have - tried a game with your group without the 50c chip?
If they haven't tried a game without, could see aversion.. but might be at least worth a shot to make them try it first before polling. In the end though, if they've tried it and still hold firm OR budget isn't an issue, than you do you!
I just would hate to see your green chip get wasted on a 50c denom if it has the chance to never see the table down the road. And if you eliminate that chip, then the lineup goes butterscotch right into brown which also doesn't look that great IMO.
I am all-in on the second set here. Absolutely beautiful!To answer your question, we always played with at 50c chip in our game. It’s just what we started with - honestly didn't know any better.

Another great point you raise - Increasing stakes. I haven’t really thought of this game ever going up in stakes. Go figure. But, it make perfect sense If I get rid of the 50c chip, and leave the 25c as an AV chip, it could be the 25c or a $100 chip if we were to move up in stakes. I'm still mulling things over.
All this sounds so familiar? Where could I have heard that before?
So... I keep coming back to these 2. But, I'm sure I'll change my feeble mind 236 more times before they get ordered. I'm thinking about another Tina buy just to see a better approximation of them.

Hell, it will take Verde at least that long to make up his mind on colors and denominations.I hope you are patient, I’ve inquired about getting chips and they’ve said 15+ months because of the location change. ![]()

I am allin on this set! I love themNo truer words have ever been spoken.
I'll probably order a Tina set in the next group buy to hold me over 15 months...

Some combination of these colors is my favorite of your mockups....
Use the gray chip as a $100, or use it as the 25¢ chip and the green chip as the 50¢ chip.... etc....
To me these are easy to tell apart, and have a great amount of contrast.
