These are most definitely NOT murder candidates.

Look, I don’t dispute that I am a bit of a hypocrite, but...the Karl’s are a playable set, and look fantastic as is. They aren’t just gorgeous because of the colors and spots—it is also (and perhaps more importantly) because of the great old school hotstamp design, including the fonts. You just can’t replicate that.

And FWIW, I haven’t murdered anything other than three racks of PdCs, but they had it coming, what with their silly and useless $10 and $50 denominations.

Seriously, I think it would be a pity to destroy the Karl’s.

I thought you had some yellow chips on the chopping block?

LOL I'm mostly kidding. And PdCs are worth the murder. Trust me I'm a hot stamp aficionado so I don't think I can do it now. I was mostly referring to your future PdC frac, but if they are to be murdered I cannot think of a better use for them :tup:

I couldn't bring myself to murder these. They do work well as a playable STT set. However, the rest of the Karl's...they might have it coming, what with their silly and useless NCV and no denomination.

And you know me... I probably won’t be able to either.

Time to rethink my cash set.... again :dead:
 
Fun Facts about the images on each denom.

25c - Anchor - Lowest denom
$1 - Clams - Slang for dollars
$5 - Sea Horse - $5 chips are commonly referred to as the workhorse chip.
$20 - Nautical Star Compass - If you have a lot of these in your stack, you're headed in the right direction.
$100 - Topical Island - Big winner chips, take a vacation!

Was a PS tourney set ever considered? Did it make it to the artwork phase?

Wow. I honestly never even noticed the images behind the denom till you said that. Awesome designs!

Mail delivery #1 from @Saoliver today and ready to be in play tonight. I bought these to murder but now that they are in hand I'm conflicted. Per the norm, chips are so much better in person

Please don’t murder them, I didn’t want to sell them in the first place because of this fear.

LOL I'm not. Considering every single chip in quantity I've ever owned has been a hot stamp these fell into the right hands to not be murdered. I don't think I've owned a rack of inlaid chips for over a few days. I just didn't know how awesome these were til I had them in hand.

Funny how I've been trying to stop stamp murder my entire time being here. Relax everyone. I guarantee I'm more anti murder than most people here
