I really like heads up tournaments and at some point I fell in love with the simplicity of the one rack format. As I started to envision my chipping nirvana, I decided to build a set of heads-up racks as a fun way to effectively use and showcase a bunch of different types of chips.
I’m starting this thread to document my journey building this set/collection/thing.
There are only two rules:
So, as of February 2025, I have:

As you can see, there’s a ton of WIP but I’m in no rush. Whenever I do a next large @Gear order I’ll work in the adjustments needed for these and then I’m now basically always keeping my eye out for options for piecing together these racks.

There are only two rules:
- No more than 2 racks per chip type
- All racks must be 40 x $25, 40 x $100, 20 x $500
So, as of February 2025, I have:
Left to right:
- RPC FHC
- Maho Reef ASM Elephant & Crown (featuring Casino Royales that are awaiting relabeling)
- Ginkgo Club customs on Jatre + Co HHR (awaiting labels with shifted denoms to new standard)
- 2 x Kairos Hotel ASM Ewings (500s relabeled by @AK Chip I believe)
- Mixed Oversized Inlays featuring PNY and Harrah’s New Orleans (haven’t decided if mixing RHC and House Mold is okay but these are slotted in for now. Seeking a $500 option)
- Dunes shaped inlay 39 mm (need another barrel of $25s and 12 more $500s)
- Not pictured: flower mold blanks currently with @Josh Kifer awaiting hot stamping
