PCF's favorite 4TSA18 (Bear / Sloth Claw) chip, Nomination Thread. - Unrestricted class (2 Viewers)

[davislane]

Thanks to the series of polls by @FDLmold and some motivation from @upNdown I've decided to run a series of polls dedicated to finding out PCF's favorite chip in all the various spot patterns*.

I've decided to keep this series unrestricted but will keep track of how casino-only chips do in voting to try and capture that info.

1st to start of the series is arguably PCF's favorite spot pattern, 4TSA18, aka bear/sloth claw.

Please nominate up to your top 3 by posting a pic in the thread! Nominations will close midnight 20th of February 2023.

Note. No Pic No Nomination. Text only entries will not be accepted. Please try to post the best pic you have or can find, as Ill be using the pics posted in the thread for the finals polls. If you want you nomination to win, then give it the best chance of doing so by sharing a pic/s that best captures it in all its glory.

*I may combine a few similar spots into the same poll or just focus on the most popular based on my own perception and feedback from the forum otherwise there will be over 50 polls and I have no interest in doing that many. Ill try to cap it at 10.

Speaking of that chip, if anyone has a barrel of Empress Secondary $100s or primary Tiger $100s they want to sell/trade me to use as a tribute to it, I'd appreciate the hell out of it.

Maybe not as good as the Four Queens above, but these don't suck...

Call me a pompous asshole but there’s no denying this chip is sex to look at for bearclaw lovers. Of course lead will always take the cake tho.

@davislane - just a suggestion. Just run one poll by pattern/combination of patterns as opposed to QF/SF/Final format. If 20 chips get nominated, I’d ask people to vote for their top 3, 30 top 5 etc etc. That way we end up avoiding outliers results like Bella Union and Magaritaville in a SF for best $1 and PCA secondary $100 for favorite black chip (edit: or at least I think this would help minimizing bias)

From the ChipDB:

I'm a sucker for purple and orange.

I was thinking something along these lines. Not sure what the max amount of options you can include in a poll but ill work it out. It can be like a Big Battle Royal!

Where's the chip with 4 spot colors, making each set of 3 claws uniquely colored? I think there is only one.....

@pltrgyst ?

Nevermind, it's the Nevada Hotel $100 shown in post #7 above.

Winner for that reason alone, imo.

You mean the one with white, gray, almost gray and barely pink? It’s sort of the anti-Tiger.

White, grey, light blue, pink. Not the actual Paulson color names, however. Post #7 above.

Where it really shines is in stacks/racks. Skittles, baby!
