- TRK Pick Hobson $25s and $100s

Nice looking chip. I debated going that route when I built my mixed TRK set. Looking forward to seeing what you'll use them for

I think @XBobdog had a rack of reds posted recently.

I'm going with both color combinations, so i can mix it up. I sold a couple racks for the orange $5s, but I still have 5 left. And then I have 7 barrels of the cyan $25s and 3 barrels of the green $25s

Any pics of the set in its current state? What are you using for $1s and or Fracs?

 

[TroyMan]

No current pics.

I havent finalized the decision on the $1s. I have a couple racks of beige Kings Crown hotstamps that I might have milled and labeled, The color goes well with the red $5s. The other option is to fill in with some CPC small crowns. The only issue, other than the lighter weight, is that I'm not sure the sheen of the MT labels can be reproduced.

For fracs, I have 65 of the gray MT .25s and a rack of the pink .50s.

I sold em. Sorry.

I feel like this is the best $1 for that set.

I’m leaning towards yellow $1’s to honor Mapes of course...

Bump

 

[XBobdog]

Yellow is strong

Yeah, I like those green $1s. I too have thought about murdering some green chips for $1s (hint: green chips with orange and blue spots). And then perhaps turning some pink TRKs with a similar spot parttern of my target $1s into .50 chips and using the same pink chip on the top end for $500s. And finally, turn a blue chip with a similar spot pattern to those future $1s and $500s into $2000 chips to complete the triple homicide.

If I go the route above, I'm also toying with the idea of changing the label for the $500s and 2000s. Some thoughts are:
- incorporating a faux gear into the label
- incorporating a small version of the tree found on the Money Tree / Mapes ash trays
- reversing the color scheme from black on old to gold on black
- some combination of the above

I haven't made any mock ups to see what these ideas might look like.
