Considering snagging a rack of secondary HS $25's to Relabel For My Benny's set. I have a couple labels already and Stuck one on a HS sample chip. I think It looks sharp. But I'd like A Second or third Opinion on how this chip matches up.

Do it! That looks great! Can't wait to have a few of those in my stack next year as long as I don't go head to head against @Payback again lol. (I was doing so well until you came over :p).
 
And you know you need relabeled secondary hundos to finish it up Erik. Do it!!
 
I absolutely love the secondary $100 Horshoe Chip, however I'm not sure I very much like it in the Benny's set? I think a Mesquite*$100 chip or even a paradise $100 chip might match slightly better? Regardless, I don't think the Horshoe 100s are enough of a match for me to rush and snag them now. Especially since I am not in a huge hurry for matching $100's. I actually like the primary Horshoe chips a tad better, but I still don't think they are as good a fit as other options.

You were the only person I ran well against that weekend. Should've joined us at the mixed table where I got 3rd degree burns from all the money in my pocket that lit on fire.

I'm not a huge fan of relabeled chips, but I like the combo for the $25 and think it could work for sure. The hundo not so much, imo. Keep looking for an alternative.
 
The 25 looks great with those chips. I'm in love with the secondary 100s but agree with you that the primary looks a little better here
 
You've nailed the spot colors/progression so far.

I'd wait for the right hundo candidate to present itself. It's probably not a chip your cash set needs immediately, and will give you an opportunity to keep the project going.

Ya, I have a decent bank already...

However, I've been in the market for $25's... I have been using the Derby Gran chips. They're awesome, but I simply can't find enough of them to fill a rack. (shown with the orig Benny's $100).

The pics with the hundos shows exactly how good of a fit the $25's are. The $100 stands out immediately against all of the chips in the set including the $25. Nailed it.

Haha well I'm glad I could turn things around for you a little. You were the only person I ran bad against.
 
Im torn. I think its fine that you added a quarter for playability, and even a few $25s for shits and giggles, but when you start having more labeled denominations than real denominations in a set, then It kinda kills the theme for me. I say stick with the originals and only use whatever labels you need to expand your game - which given the number of $5 chips seems minimal.

Ya, I get this for sure. It's a consideration. However, there have. When times
Where I wish I had more $25 chips. So I've been on the hunt for a single rack to use for a relabel project. If I thought I could get a rack
Of Actual Benny's, I'd pay a premium. As it stands, these HS chips are a good fit, mint, and we are only taking a single rack (out of a 2000 chip set).

Curious when you would feel the need for more $25 chips? Assuming its for rebuys etc. when there are already a ton of fives on the table? Would $100s work better in this situation, and skip the $25s altogether? would be more economical for sure.

Are you referencing the MTTD Meet up? WOW, I've never seen anyone hit their 5th/6th? buy ins that fast.........You handled it well though.
 
There have got to be a metric ton of the $25's out there, but it doesn't seem like they will ever surface though. I'm within shouting distance of filling my rack but have been actively searching for them for years. Same deal with the $.50's (still need 8 to fill a rack) and hundos (need 4 to fill a barrel).

Not going to say they are like unicorns, but it sure seems like it.
