Building Mixed Set? (2 Viewers)

I would not wait on anything if you have the resources. Never wait on Paulson's with the vultures circling.

It's not quite the same but if I had not hesitated, the Suicide Queens and Hungry Frog sets would be in my closet. True story.

I think the Silver Palace $5 next to the Spotted Bird would look fantastic! From what I can tell, the blue edge spot on the Silver Palace $5 looks like it would complement the Flamingo $1 very nicely. Anyone ever seen these two together?

And I think this earlier question may have gotten lost in the shuffle so I'm going to bump it one more time.

If I know I need 2 full racks of a denomination, do I tempt fate and grab a single rack if that is all that is available and run the risk of never finding that 2nd matching rack down the road? Or is it recommended to wait and buy both racks of the same chip at the same time to avoid that risk? I think this uncertainty is what is preventing me from pulling the trigger on some nice single racks that have been on the market recently.
Like slisk said...grab what u can when u can! I bought single Flamingos off eBay till I got about 20, then took a shot in the dark and contacted Apache and he sold me 100 and then got lucky when someone went out there and was in the harvesting mood and grabbed me another rack. All this over the course of about 2 years. Then grabed another barrel or so from my previous eBay contacts later. Point is don't hesitate when available and be patient when not.
 
Epic mixed set sir. Love them all (except the frac needs to be SCV);)

This is pretty close to a perfect mixed set IMO. In a perfect world I'd have Artichoke Joe THC fracs, use PCA 5s and then the lower denoms are perfect. I'm still chasing after Flamingos and those PA are just too much for me right now.

I agree, it is indeed one of the best I've seen assembled..... although I think that the Bourbon Street $5 (with the yellow spot) is a far superior choice for this particular yellow-themed set. Only change I'd make is to use a real NV casino yellow THC hot-stamped quarter.

Yes, this. And sell the PCA quarters to me, as suggested in my sig... :cool:

The yellow running through this mixed set is what makes it, for me. Nicely done.

Thank you guys for the compliments! It was/is a fun journey for sure. And @pltrgyst there is nothing tying me to those PCAs so maybe if I find some minty replacements (y) :thumbsup:. @acl1904 snagged my other 2 racks not too long ago...maybe he doesn't like em. :D

@churlbut18 sorry for derailing a bit. I answerd your question from my experience above. :)

It's finding your personal balance between having enough cash on hand to leap when opportunity arises, and having money tied up in many single racks. Only you can determine your financial flexibility in that regard.
