JD and IGs.....
$1s
The coolest Jack to me is the $1, what a cool snowflake. Does that beat out the IG $1s? Doubtful since one has the exact same spots and faux shaped inlay. So......tie ish? I could see folks going either direction.
$5
Ummm....not even remotely close. Tiger claw, 'murica, nuff said.
$25
Yes, one looks like a fruit we eat. And yeah I think they're dope, it's got pink! The other is just a....... 8V! Not to mention that the watermelon is the better of the two options for JD and it's a repeating shape, circle. Easy winner for IG here.
$100
I could see some people go JD here. For me ARC yellow baby, can't fricken go wrong and what a cool spot patter for a hundo, and yes I know the spot patter is one that is a lot of hate/love. So I guess I could see an objective coin flip here, but I sure hear a lot more pandering for arc yellow on here than I do for what the JD has.
Lineup
JD spot progression doesn't make much sense. Spots get less and less from the 1 to the 5 to the 25 to the hundo kinda? Maybe you can pretend to like the backwards progression although we never hear that. Then there's the repeating shapes, and the fact that with the black inlay on black chip with the undo, the only really noticeable faux shape is on the $1? Huh.
IG contains claws, 8v, and arc yellow within the 4 denoms, faux shaped inlays throughout.
I'd put this one at a landslide.
Noone wants to talk about this? Everyone who paid through the nose and continues to do so for......what? Because we called them "watermelons"? Give me a break, this isn't even remotely close, IG are light years ahead.
$1s are a toss up, $5s are easily IG, I'll even allow someone to say $25 toss up although the Watermelon makes no sense in the lineup, and I'll even allow someone to say $100 is a toss up, and the overall lineup and cohesion is a landslide of IG.
Anyone paying through the nose for a JD set today instead of a mint IG set sitting in the classifieds is.....not smart. Y'all need some sense knocked into ya.
