I can’t decide which set I want to go with - or if I just want to go with both!My group stopped playing tournaments for the most part, but I love the colors.
FWIW I have a sample of the inlay replaced crown plazas and they are virtually indistinguishable to the factory originals. If you are prepared to put in the work to remove the existing inlay to take a label you will be very happy with the outcome provided you can overcome the other steps required to get to that point. I would suggest you order a barrel of stock T25K just in case you abandon ship of the relabel project. I would also order a few spare $5s to try out first before murdering a whole barrel. I doubt you will a problem moving a barrel of $5s if need be.I just want to understand this properly before I make a decision. IF I wanted alternate 25K's this would involve:
- Obtaining permission from p5woody (and potentially tommy?) to have labels made.
- Getting the art file for the 25K.
- Spinning up Gear to make labels based on that art file for a barrel of murdered chips. (Assumption: the labels for these can be removed without much angst?)
- Applying the labels to said chips.
If it's any more complex than this, I'll likely just accept the stock 25Ks. I'm not THAT adverse to them.
One other thing; when you say the labels are extremely thin; would the thickness from potential Gear label replacements be problematic?
I might order a barrel of stock 25K's in addition to a barrel of $5's just so as to have the option.

If it ends up like that, then it's probably best that I cancel the GB. One of the higher denoms in either the cash or tourney could be expected, but 2 or more MOQ fees is just too much.
Yea I was a bit afraid this would happen, would this change the any of the plans for the future add on of the CPs?
But it wouldn't need to be for every denomination right? Like say we put the orders out, and we saw we only met the MOQs for the $5s and $25s (just an example), at that point would we just order those?
Would it make any sense to just do the cash set (since moq is met on all but 25s (nearing) and 100s)?
Or maybe even go back to the cash/tourney combined idea? That would help with the number of 25s and 100s.
Thanks Tommy, that gives me some hope that it might still be possible, even if orders don't pick up. I hope they do and both sets are still possible; there may be folks waiting to figure stuff out still. If there is a rough estimate of total costs if it goes that way, that would help. I might adjust my order slightly, but not substantially if that were the case.
I'd be out then.
blue .50 would be interesting, but I wasn't going to get a cash set. I really don't like the text, America's Favorite Playground, but we have more time for orders, AND, even if we can't get this going now, we will in the future, so let's not be disappointed. I don't think anyone in the group is short-term minded and we will be around for years to come
