Multiple Versions of $1 Chip Within Cash Set? (2 Viewers)

But then you'd have to figure out how would you store them in racks; 300 reds and 100 of each of the others might introduce OCD storage issues.

Didn't want to reveal that this was already causing me agida, but yes, agreed.

Thanks, courage. A few thoughts in response.

As to the colors, I tried as much as possible to use colors not found elsewhere in this draft of the set. This is what directed me toward blue (rather than retro or light as in the frac), green (rather than retro or light as in the quarter), and light choc (rather than choc as in the $5). I couldn't avoid the red, pink, and black from the hundo (mandarin looks close enough to retro imo that changing it out would be pointless and regular pink is too close to lavender imo), but I'm not that worried as the hundos wouldn't be on the table very often at all with all the racks of $1s.

As to the 214 pattern, it seems the best option when accounting for price, but if I were a billionaire I'd probably go 418. That represents a .75/chip difference in price. I think the 214 and 418 patterns are close enough in effect for this purpose to make me not want to spend the extra $750.

The only thing that makes me a little reluctant is I'm not really sure how I'll feel using mixed colors during big bet games and big bet games will be far more commonly spread than limit. I have considered doing 300 with red spots and 100 of each other color and only using the reds during big bet games. Not sure I like that idea much either, though. Still noodling...

Yeah, I'm on board with not repeating colors when possible, so figured that was part of the goal. 418 is sweet but lol to the extra $750. Just save that for Borgata PLO.

Personally it would bug me in big bet game to have the mixed colors of $1's. The idea would sit ok with me, but once I had them in hand I'd be sorting them into spot colors. It may also encourage hoarding lol.

Didn't some guy email you about ideas for a $2 chip for this set? Do mixed spot colors on those. Tada! Now that $750 seems like a bargain eh?

For better or worse, it was the very first thing I thought of based on previous posts and conversations.

I suppose the "obvious" answer is buying 500 red and 100 of each of 10 (not 9) other colors

Reminds me of Payback's Piss'd N Broke set, with two different designed $5's in play, or playing at the Flamingo Casino, where they have like 5 different red chips in play. It all works fine.
