Yep, I need a THC leaded $100 (1 Viewer)

[buffalojim]

Well, I think my THC mixed set is coming together. It's not perfect but it's mine, and I like it. Still in need of some chips though, one of them being a solid $100 candidate to fit in this lineup. So far, what I'm looking at is as follows...

or

I love the Aztar 25 and the Outpost 25 equally. Only thing with the Outpost is the colors IRL are very similar, if not the same, as the King's spots, blaze and red, but has the advantage of a scalloped inlay different than my $500's. So, I might just have to use the Aztar because the King's are staying. I realize I'm doubling up on an inlay here between the 1 and the 5. It irks me slightly but I'm over it. I have Outpost 5's I could use but I just like the PCA's better (still need another rack of these... wink wink). Looking for a nice $100 candidate that is actually attainable and probably gonna be have to be a cog, yeah? I've looked at the Scandia $100 and I just don't fancy the inlay design, or the spot colors. The spot numbers are nice though as that has not been used so far. Anyway, I appreciate any help and thoughts on this.

Cheers

4v418 casa if it had a red denom. Skyway park maybe

I’m partial to the Empress $100

Sorry, I'm not familiar with how the spot numbers work exactly. Are you talking about the black Casablanca $100?

If so, that spot pattern should be great, unfortunately the inlay is horrendous IMO. I know I'll be shamed for that comment but I don't care, it is what it is.

The Skyway on the other hand looks good. I'm new here but I've never seen those available. I definitely like the spot pattern of the Casa better.

Yeah, me too lol. I just have never seen any available

 

[buffalojim]

Ideally, the Empress $100 would be my choice. It's exactly what I'd be looking for. Just not sure if it's realistic and in what condition they are in out there.

Either Ambassador Plaza.

Circle inlay, eh? The $500 is fire.

Cog would be better but you don’t have a round inlay in the lineup.

I agree, my King 1's really throw a wrench into the whole flow. They're so nice and yet troublesome.

 

[buffalojim]

First world problems.

 

[buffalojim]

The round inlay was planned to be Outpost fracs, but people are holding onto them so tight hoping they turn into diamonds. I gave up. My mom always said, if at first you don't succeed, just give up. So that's that. I arrived here just a bit too late to get my hands on any. I don't blame people, they're nice and hard to find a shaped inlay frac.

 

[Rhodeman77]

Here are some chips I consider when building my set. Not sure how easily any of them can be found. Several borrowed pics

 

[buffalojim]

Those are all excellent. I have no idea how to find any of them lol. The Capitol City and Palm Beach are awesome, not sure what I like more. The Capitol has a red denom which is favorable but the spot design of the Palm Beach progresses nicely from the Aztar IMO. Either are fantastic. The Horseshoe is also amazing but would take 3rd place out of those 3 choices. You guys know so much, love it, love the recommendations

I don't believe Capitol really exists to be found at the moment, but I bet you can find some PBCL

You've been here for 7 weeks?
People hang out for years without getting a single rack of the chips you've pictured above.
You've been here for 7 weeks and you're complaining about the limitations of King's $1's.
I'm not even joking when I wonder out lout if you are actually a prank.

I'm not complaining at all, just stating the fact that the King 1's throw a wrench into some natural progressions I've seen.

 

[Rhodeman77]

The Palm Beach Cruise Line chips will be the most available for sure.

It would repeat a casino, though. How about the Hotel Nevada?

Thank for chiming in Krish I thought about those actually and have seen them. In the end I just don't think I was crazy about the colors, honestly. I kinda wanted some brighter edge spots. I am definitely a fan of the PBCL shown above.

If I had the Empress $100's I'd probably go a different route for the $500's as I only have a few of them.

 

[tabletalker7]

Look at these

I only got the two but you want to check them out I can bring it to you

I think @Hornet has a rack of PBCLs for sale.

Honestly I think worrying about spot progression is kinda silly. Just pick the chips you like and go with that. I dont like repeating spots, but progression never really bothered me unless you have a solid or really plain 100 or something.

The kings 1s have a pretty complex spot pattern for a 1. The kings 1s are also, by a good margin, the best 1s i have ever owned. I think they are one of the best 1 dollar chips out there. I honestly dont think you will find a better 1 dollar chip for a thc mixed set.

Those are nice man. My concern on those would be another repeating spot pattern. Thanks for the suggestion though

I agree with all that. The King 1's aren't going anywhere. I'll keep those forever, took me a lot to get those. I guess I'm not worried about progression so much, just more with repeats.

Pretty awesome to see guys like you who join a month ago and have this lineup already. Awesome chips. Keep up the good work! I’d add a vegas 100dunes or trop 100 to that line up.

My bank account disagrees with you, but I don't It's been very expensive, but fun.

it is a nice chip, but I would go 4 Queens $1 and Casino Aztar $1 first and second. Obviously just my opinion.

I meant to reply to @colter ripton

 

[RocAFella1]

Maybe you’re using in another lineup already but Eddie’s $100?
