Love the set. Great history, thanks for the background! This gets me psyched, I just placed my order last week.

Bravo!

Those $1s are killer - great looking set

Great set!
It is great to see components of my country's flag there.

The $1 is the MVP for me

You could probably poll a random sample of 100 people walking through downtown Porto and I would say at least 10 of them would know of Ferry Street in Newark. That's what exactly what I was going for with the 50 cent chip! I mocked up a $100 chip as well, but I didn't have it made because I wasn't 100% happy with it.

 

[JMC9389]

BOH?

See above post. I thought about it, but at the end of the day, I wasn't happy with anything I was coming up with. I want to see maybe if red instead of retro red and DG green would look. I don't want to repeat colors used in the set if I can help it, but the irony is that I already did that with DG yellow.

It definitely will be. I can see my kids fighting for this one.

Love the colors - great job!

Thank you! How is your set coming along?

This thread needs more attention. Set is straight fire. Great job Joe! Look forward to getting this set in play in September

I prefer that this stay under the radar actually. Beats getting my PM box flooded with asks for samples. Thank you for your kind words! I'm flattered that you're speaking of this set in the same breath as many other HOF sets. The meet up next month is going to be awesome!

@JMC9389 The $5 turned out really well for DG yellow base. Probably one of my more favorite CPC chips with a yellow base I've seen in recent memory.

 

[salohcin]

Very nice!

 

[KarateMaster72]

Beautiful set! I ordered my first set on Tuesday. 4 to 5 months. It kills me but it isn't nearly as bad as those who wait a year. I feel for them. How long did it take to get your proofs?

Following @AZBOARDER13 's lead, shameless plug for this set for calendar voting.

Garner, garner, garner!

Absolutely beautiful set, Joe! You can tell that some thought was actually put into these…and those make the best customs. Congrats bud they’re awesome.

Favorite = fiver

Careful of "chip-fishing" out there folks. The OP of my set reveals always have untouched photos that aren't edited at all. Messing around with the Prisma app distorts things, but my goodness do the chips look nice.

 

[JMC9389]

MOAR

 

[liftapint]

This set is hot AF. LOVE it.

 

[JMC9389]

Just for fun, this is what I would have done if I had all Paulson colors and spots available

 

[KHarp1]

This goes to the top with The Moonlight and Strawberry Lemonade (I think that's right, I'm getting forgetful). The whole set is beautiful, the progression is nice, but, that $1 chip is Fan-fuckin-tastic! Pardon my foul language, but, that's what this chip made me do!

Thanks for the story behind the chips as well. After reading the story I can definitely see it portrayed in what's been done in the chips, very nice work all around! Definitely something to be proud of and passed down through the family.

It's kind of sad I went to school in Newark for a bit and the only place I went out to eat was Tops lol. Broke college kid problems.

 

[dpeks13]

Gorgeous chips. I'd love to take a ride up the turnpike and play a game with these one day!

 

[JMC9389]

Add on?

 

[quixotemi]

Love 'em... but if CPC could make that Paulson's $100 that'd be sick - your mock up looked great

Alright, I need my locals' help on this one.

I'm obviously going to do an add on for more DG Tiger racks for the workhorse chip. Thoughts on the red chip as a value chip? I'd flex the chip between using it as a value chip in the limit set and as a progressive bounty chip for the tournament set. Does this chip go well or does it blend in too much with the workhorse?

Needs more contrast IMO
Oh wait, you didn’t ask for MY opinion.

That's my initial gut feeling as well. Do you have any suggestions for a base color that would work a bit better? Trying not to repeat base colors from the main cash set, however.

Lavender would be my choice.

Too close, in my opinion. A few ideas:

1. Have the value chip play off the limit chip and just use the same colors in a different iteration. Charcoal base with DG Tiger and Gray spots. I’m not really concerned with dirty stacks in a limit game, and I think they’re different enough that it could be avoided anyway.

2. Take your $0.50 chip and “invert it,” so to speak, with a bright white base and retro red + light green spots, so you’re still using flag colors.

3. This is just a chip I like the look of. Imperial blue is underrated. Not sure it really “fits” the theme here, but whatever.
