Join the club!

Aviation Clubs are the bomb. One of the top 2 or 3 tournament sets ever. There is no doubt which is the better set here.....














Mapes +

 

[SixSpeedFury]

Mapes blow Aviation Club out of the water.

 

[Anthony Martino]

The Mapes $1 IS beautiful, but I don't see how that carries the rest of the set over Aviation club, which has many more chips that really pop. Aviation Club for me.

 

[ohio3302016]

Mapes for me. That $25 is nice.

[Puggy]

Aviation Club FTW! Have to remember to vote when on laptop!

 

[Mr. Cheese]

Viva La Aviation Club!

 

[Numerobis]

Aviation club for me, for all the reasons @BGinGA mentioned, except maybe for the inlay

Come on people, its 8 denoms vs. 4

 

[stocky]

Aviation (y) :thumbsupy) :thumbsup:

 

[JFCJ]

Mapes!

This came down to would I rather own a fantastic tournament set with great colors, spot patterns, and inlay, or a great historic TRK cash set with great colors and a great inlay. The answer is yes.

Exactly. Owning these two sets would cover so many chip bases, you might not need any other chips.

(I said might)

Well you still need customs

 

[bentax1978]

Well you still need customs

Well, if you could afford large sets of these two chips, customs would seem down right cheap in comparison.

 

[k9dr]

Mapes all the way :

 

[noblecountydanny]

duh!

 

[luckbox]

to repeat myself, aviation club inlay blows but everything else about the chip is great, with that said its Mapes all the way....

 

[acl1904]

I think the number of denoms should be a low weighted attribute. ACF is tourney where the Mapes are cash chips. Moreover, during the time the Mapes were live, these were pretty much all the denoms they really needed at that time (aside from fracs ).

It's easy to see why these are the top two!!!

 

[bivey]

Mapes lovers are some sort of sick cult.

All my teams got knocked out early and I'm left with a barren bracket. My brain tells me to go with the history but the heart says go with what incites your inner child and as a child of the 80's...

You know, as a kid, I also had some attraction to France of which I'm not sure where it came. On two of my building blocks, with a green marker, I made a sign for "Richard's Frenches Pizzeria" which was the keystone/capstone to whatever I built. My dream was to become a French pizza man (sic). I remember my childhood being filled with visiting pizzerias (pizza parlors!) and back then the 'pizzaman' was always shockingly successful. Nowadays it's downright depressing what has become of small business in this city.

If I was born a decade earlier my set of nostalgia would surely be different but as it stands I'll pick the longshot. Sacrebleu!

 

[slisk250]

colors: close but Mapes has great unique spot colors
spots: Mapes - tri moons over a 614 any day of the week
mold: toss up - both are great
inlay: Mapes - at least two chippers have used this inlay for tribute sets ACF is meh at best
history: Mapes - Classic Reno trumps any foreign casino
exclusiveness: Aviation Club is probably more exclusive
which-would-i-own: Mapes

Not even close.

Aviation club for me! I would probably be happy with owning a set of Mapes also though

well said!

 

[Toby]

Yeah I'd be happy with a set of either. Would prefer a set of both, mind.

 

[ovo]

Mapes, wish I would have gotten them way back when...
