Singles thread. (1 Viewer)

So I'm mostly a fan of whites for $1 checks, but I occasionally see a blue I like. Other colors can be very cool.

I'm beginning to seriously plan my custom cash set, and the $1 is seeming to be the hardest for me... so I'm asking for people to post their favorite singles.

Favorite white... favorite blue... and favorite other. And you can include ceramics in the mix, as white, blue or other! I'm more likely to go CPC than ceramic, but either is still possible.

Thanks!

Because I love going there!!!!

Terrible's St Jo Secondary 1's. If it weren't for my America theme on my 1 I'd be copying that color scheme.

Also the Terrible's Mark Twain Secondaries are sexy too!

Too lazy to grab pics of both... but here's the one of them

I thought this was like an e-dating thread. Carry on!

A mix of blue and (bright) white from ASM / CPC

Love this thread. Blue is my favorite color (black is my all time favorite, but since it's not a color it can only be my favorite shade ) and my custom set will definitely have blue $1's and a shit ton of them. I'll probably go all Cali colors because I like yellow fives and the west side is the best side, but we are talking ones here.

I usually like all shades of blue for the base color, but I think my favorites tend to be a lighter blue base with darker blue and bright white spots.

Here is one that is one of my favorite card protectors to use. I'm not crazy about the inlay, and my set will have more spots, but this definitely looks good to me. Looks real good in stacks as well..... My 1's will be something like this, but more spots and white mixed in... I think. lol

My favorites are...

Just a few.

I really like the Crystal Parks, but why are the spots all screwy on them, like the outer ring set the outer portion over some how?

For some reason they made them with oversized inlays so part of the edgespot is actually just inlay I believe

Thanks @Mr. Cheese , I've never looked closely at them enough to see that, makes sense.

I have a couple of racks of those, and love the crossed pistols, but I wish they had a better back side.


They work great in a mixed Western set, with the St. Jo's fives and the large star Mesquite $25s.

Nice choices! I have multiple racks of all three, and they're probably my absolute keepers, along with the Treasure $1s.

If the Luxors were thc I'd probably have multiple racks of them also

 

[12thMan]

I have about ten of the luxors I pocketed last time I was in Vegas. Really like the way those look in racks, I bet they would look incredible cleaned and oiled.

I have realized that my paulson tastes are SCV>LCV>>RHC>>>All others, the mold is the one thing I don't like about those chips.

Yeah...should have been like a pouch with coins coming out or something along those lines.

 

[12thMan]

Love that Mirage, now I'm back to thinking dark blue and bright white...lol

Whoa, yeah, that side is uhhhhhhhhh, yeah.... Any chance of having the players never flip them over when playing?

 

[pltrgyst]

The top 3 and the bottom three in the second column, plus the BJ Divi Carinas in the bottom row, are my favorite $1s.

If I absolutely had to choose one of each color, it would be the light blue Paris chips for non-poker reasons involving my wife, and the white Aztars.

This is true for the second version chips, they add a strange effect that looks nice in person. What is weirder is that the first version had inlays that were the entire surface with fake edgespots over the real ones.

That seems to me like buying nice wheels for your car then gluing hubcaps over them...

 

[k9dr]

I like this one

 

[Mental Nomad]

Am surprised not to see any customs showing up, yet, but I'm loving the activity.

My customs have to be something I like, if course, but I also want them to be something most other people find beautiful, as well.

The grey Sahara is, I think, the only one not white or blue, so far.

 

[12thMan]

@ChaosRock blue 1's in the rounders csq set are a very nice example!

 

[atomiktoaster]

I dunno if these are my all time favorites, but they're all really nice:

and two non-white classics (originality is over-rated, can't believe these aren't here already):

Shameless pics...

Also, PCA secondaries should absolutely be in the conversation. Can't find a decent pic at the moment...
