Is this a dumb idea? Bear with me. (3 Viewers)

[EastCoastCali]

So I’ll prefice this by saying I’m a little banged up after last night, the bourbon beat the bag outta me, so my brain cells might be sleeping in.

This would probably be a lot of work overtime for potentially nothing too wildly impressive to some in the end, but I think it could be very cool and be an awesome showcase of all the customs the community has created. That being said, the idea: a Tina Rat Rod Set. Bear with me. A set with customs and current predesigns with duplicates or whathaveyou, whatever I could get my hands on as a place holder, and overtime remove them as peoples new custom sample sets can be obtained and fill the spots in. This would take a very long time I assume, but I think it could be a very fun project. Could be a cool new take on rat rod sets. A set built only by this communities creativity, I don’t know, I think there’s something there.

Thoughts?

I’ve kicked around the idea and thought it would be cool. Thought about starting with 25 of each demon from the label fee free sets and go from there.

 

[Cratty]

Sounds fun and likely relatively inexpensive. I have plenty of spare barrels of 39 or 43s lying around of most of my sets.

But definitely could see non-chippers really like playing with them.

Yea that’s where my heads at too.

Yea that’s why the idea kind of lit me up, not a huge price tag, but still a very fun project. Might be tough with all the Cali color sets and odd ball colors tho.

Do you have some spares I could snag at some point if I start this project?

And now that I reread that, the chip sizes could make this a lot more difficult huh…hmm…

All my guys are non chippers so it works. They told me Sunday they’d rather play with my ninja turtle Tina’s than my mixed clay set lol.

Yeah, I can take inventory tomorrow when I get back in town of my spares.

I appreciate it, no rush, was just curious. I’m still tryna figure out how feasible this is with the different colors across sets, plus chip size variation aswell.

There is a scene in As Good As It Gets, where Melvin says 'People who talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crotch.'

Rat Rods set are a way to either put in collection of singles to be enjoyed by collectors, unless they have CDO (that's OCD for you not afflicted) which as a singles collector they likely have, or to let someone buy small amounts of clay chips at a time.

A lot of people feel as though Melvin did about metaphors, that Rat Rods aren't real people. I hate to be Debby Downer but I can't see the value of having a Hobo as a fashion designer.

Its you're money spend it how you like, I think a more interesting approach would be save your money and go for clay over some Jackson Pollock Temu version.

Listen, don't hate me, I'm not trying to rain, I can't help but step in as Devil's Advocate, to try to give a different perspective

 

[augster123]

Cool idea.

What was in the glass last night?

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

Eh. I love my chips but have 0 interest in a smattering of odd colors and textures from the Tina buys. Betting would get confusing. I assume most of the cost would just be shipping the chips.

 

[LeLe]

I not a fan of Rat Rod so I gonna vote NO

Appreciate the opinion, looking for both sides, hence the thread name lol.

@augster123 just some cheapo Jim Beamo, did the trick lol.

I hear ya. Not too worried about the textures if I can keep it in the wheelhouse of Greek, web, and sun…but I am worried about colors.

I am a fan of rat rod and had a set but agree this doesn't make sense. What worked about for instance, a THC casino rat rod set is that there were hundreds of mostly similar chips (same base color). This isn't remotely the case with Tinas which take advantage of the full customization to have a wide range

I hear ya, I think they’re very cool in their own right. I’d rock one if the price wasn’t so high to build or buy complete.

Yeah the more I think on it, think this will end up being the most true/killing the set. Tinas color selections are all over the place, but also.. people select much higher level spots than clay norms (because why not/free). A Tina rat rod would likely be very messy.

Maybe it could work if you kept common base chips and just did different inlays, but at that point.. likely lose a lot of the custom fun and reason for ceramics in the first place.

Friends don’t let friends build rat rod sets.

 

[Sparkynutz]

I think it would make more sense as a single denom like some people have played with casino $1 chips.
Each player starting with that casinos chips and see what chips went where by end of night.
Everyone starts with a couple barrels or a full rack of 1s.
I'd like to do that with quarters and just have a hand full of larger denom if needed for rebuys.

We come from similar perspectives. I see rat rod sets as singles collections for people who don’t want to admit that they are singles collectors.

 

[BGinGA]

I'm considering a Tina rat-rod inspired circus game limit set, using a collection of 25-pc lots of different available spot configs (all having the same/similar base color).

Would need 28 different spot designs (7 racks) of one base color, and 4 spot designs (1 rack) for the second value chip base color.

Most likely going with a 39mm hybrid (undetermined) mold design, and planning on using a single no-denom circus-theme label design for all chips -- which will significantly lower the label artwork cost, and which nicely ties the set together both visually and thematically.

A Tina rat rod would likely be very messy.

ALL RAT ROD SETS ARE VERY MESSY!
They’re offensive to look at. The excuse for a rat rod set - that you get to put amazing clays into play that would otherwise be unplayed - doesn’t exist for Tinas.
This is the worst idea I’ve heard this year.

Good news! Plenty of time to hear worse ideas!

Meh. The diversity of different edge spot patterns and colors in a single denomination chip can't be that bad of a goal, especially if the base chip color is white.

 

[Timmah]

The OCD in me can’t deal with Rat Rod sets. I need consistency and uniformity. I’ve seen pics of Paulson Rat Rod sets. They’re not visually appealing to me. Now throw in Tina. People have ordered add ons to sets and received different shades of colors for the exact same chip. I don’t think you would get consistent colors for your demonizations, and I think it would be quite annoying separating the chips when pulling in a pot.

If it will help, I can repost the hard candy mafia thread, which is the worst idea of all time.

Not to say casinos always get it right, but it’s interesting that when they mix different inlays, different molds, and even different materials for the same denomination, the edge spot patterns and colors are almost always consistent. I like that.
