I concur, although I suspect that the vast majority won't. :coffee:

It was very close for me. In the end I thought if I could own just one of them it would be the Lakeshores. Love the bright colors and THC mold.

Lakeshores for me. TRK's are cool but they just don't do it for me like a beautiful set of Paulson's.

Lakeshores ALL the WAY for me, don't get me wrong, the Trop's are a super nice set but I'm a Paulson type of guy and the colors and the feel and the OH billy.....I mean...
Lakeshore, I'd go with lakeshore....

Trops are my favorite by a mile, surprised this one is so close.

I've never understood what the Trop 1sts have going for them, besides a ton of history. Which history is definitely cool and all, but this isn't a "most historical set" contest. And even among historical TRKs, there are at least 10 sets that I like better...

The frac put me over the top. The golf ball lost some points with me as well.
I keep making my final decision on "If I could pick either set to put on my shelf, which would it be?"

Royal Flush
Not one bad color combo in the Trops, and if I were to do a CPC cash set, the frac and $1 are worth stealing (or at least running through the CDT). I cannot say the same for the Lakeshore. Sharp colors on the Lakeshore, but nothing that says "I want" to me.
I had to give this some thought before voting. I've been staring at chips for almost 10 minutes. There's no $100 for the Lakeshores, and the Trops frac and $1 are stronger than any of the Lakeshore chips. However, I like the Cali colors better than the Trops and the X chip is definitely an X factor. In the end, The Lakeshores ended up a chip short in my evaluation, and their edge spots are just a bit too large for my tastes. I give it to the Trops, but they don't really "wow" me that much.

So so hard to choose this one. As an overall lineup, the Trops gets my vote. But by a hair. Three plain chips on the Lakeshores and lack of a $100 hold the set back for me. But the $1, $5 are simply stunning

The Lakeshore chips remind me of one of the Paulson home chip sets that I can't quite put a finger on. Weakest member of the 16 IMO.

Typical east coast bias.
But seriously, the Trops are in my top two (Mapes, obvs). Such a beautiful set.

One of the toughest decisions in the tournament -- both sets have a lot of positives, very few negatives. I'd be surprised if the TRKs didn't win out in this crowd, but the Lakeshore chips are also in the top half of the field imo.
really difficult, wish the Lakeshore had a hundred ?? Trop TRK is too cool

Lakeshore for me - I eliminated the TRK v Paulson in my decision. Both shaped inlays. Lakeshore inlay is superior. Lakeshore spots/colors are better. I like the hot stamp fracs with an inlay set.

Even though the Lakeshore's have common edgespots and no hundo... they still barely win out in my book... maybe its the colors... maybe its that amazing roman numeral dime... not sure.
While I really like the Lakeshore's this one is not much of contest for me. Trop's quarter pie's, classic vegas...
Tough spot for the Lakeshore's
