San Manuel .50 Fracs - Are they available? (1 Viewer)

[TheSchmiddi]

Hello fellow chippers,

Right now I'm in the process of building a cash set around the Paris 1s.

I have already decided to use the Bally 1s as .25 fracs and will also use the Paris 5s.

Since I also want to be able to play the smallest blinds, I'm thinking of adding another rack and labeling it as a .10 to be able to play .10/.10. Hot pink chips like the Jack Cinci Snapper are too bright for me along with the mild blue of the 1s.

Wanted to find something pastel colored.

While searching on Chip Guide I came across the Fracs from San Manuel with the CG022576 and think these would be a brilliant fit.

Does anyone know if it is realistic to find these? Find little to nothing about them here.

Probably very difficult and expensive to find in quantity.

I would go as far as to say EXTREMELY difficult to find in quantity, we have a sample set of those and the only chips I have ever seen of them.

I was afraid of it.

Alternatively, I will probably go for solids in these color range.

The combination with these white spots just looks great to me.

You're better off going after some solids for best fit, cost, and attainability. You already have a lot of white going on with Bally and Paris $1s as back to back denoms.

Wait, you are going to use those Bally's $1s as .25s along side the Paris $1s as your $1?

Do NOT do that. That is the dirtiest stack/pot scenario one could imagine.

Thank you for the hint. Because of the only small spots, I like the idea of inverted colors, but I will definitely look at that when I have the ballys with me.

@DMack's 'Murica set (link) is pretty strong evidence that it can work, and then some, but it's still a concern worth pointing out.

Thank you for sharing. Great to see them together in play.

The two look great together. Especially with the white labels on the Ballys.

Whereby in the linked set for me the stars are the 1s and 5s.

I’ve decided the worst thing that bothers me about any frac is when a decimal point is used as well as the ¢ symbol… I hate it.

Love the San Manuel THC 50c chip. It does not show up often as a single, and I don't recall racks of San Manuel chips ever appearing anywhere, let alone a rack of these beauties.

I don't think the Bally and Paris will have dirty stack, but it will be a totally different story if they are half pie or tri moon edge

I do like the choice of San Manuel, wish you can find some of them around but it will prob cost a fortune too.

I have this exact combo in one of my tribute sets. I play with a bunch of blind, old geezers, and there are exactly zero issues with dirty stacks.

‘Merica!!

I stand corrected. And this looks like a really fun set!

They looks amazing. The purple spots look great, too.
