Thanks Ovo... so when I saw the Santa Yasbel $1 chip I was hooked!! Sucked the undos didn’t exist but its not un common not to have a frac! We attended a meet up early this year at the legend @MegaTon44 compound!! Honest to god one of the nicest people you will ever want to meet!!Wow, simply amazing, in 18 months, (but two chipper brains , incredible collection you have. People hear about my collection, but that was done over , well coming up on 15 years next june, so a lot of new people to the hobby make me look casual A beautiful collection for sure, and hope to play cards with you some day . Tell me about your Santa Ysabel set and your frac choice. I am still searching for a frac and hundred .
His set up is out of this world... I am pretty sure they based the size on an NFL football field off of his basement!! LOL Well the way he works it is, PCF circus games and fun early. Then the locals show up!! 4 tables with dedicated dealers... it was amazing. No I don’t have the space or clientele for such an event... but loved the idea!! I thought well maybe I can build a cash set to cover that game... at least feel like we are part of it down the road.
Also the chips are in good enough condition that they will be troopers for yeas to come... kind of a go to set for us also... Well In Maryland most of our games are $.25/$.50... i was thinking of going with a red frac (Aransas queens $5)... but many advised with the brown $5 it was not advised... we thought about the gray GReen Valley Ranch chips. Which honestly I think with the small matching edge spots are a fantastic option also... but I needed a bunch!! The set now is built to cover 3 tables. I like about 120 quarters per table.. not necessary but I always hate change making.
When we bought the Ash St.$1 chips which are THC, we also had the option to buy all of the Ash ST. $2 chips (400) but RHCs... a newer inlay on some, older on the others... a terrible mix but Brie wanted them. She didn’t know why but she had to have them.
Yes as far as edgespot progression it is a step in the wrong direction but we had 400 of them.. the colors match the pastel palette of the set... I like the pink frac in the line up with th purple edge spots just compliment it well in my opinion... ohh did I mention we had plenty to cover the set which weighed heavily on the decision.
I think there are plenty of options out there.. this one just worked for our set.
I actually think I am going to go with a plaque for the $100 in this set. I love plaques, the locals love plaques. I personally tried several different options for a RHC hundreds and haven’t found anything that really jumps out at me yet. So why not go with something fun on the top end!!
Let me know if you come up with anything for your set buddy!!
