Awesome. Must get myself a PNY set at some point.

They're amazing. Before I was a forum member I was snooping and I remembered seeing some sweet PNY sets and I absolutely fell in love. Fast forward a little more then a year and I finally got myself a nice 700 piece cash set. They'll be on my shelf for a while .

Solid mail day. Got another rack of PNY 5s and a barrel of Sec$100 on the way which will cap off my set! Oh and some $25 primary! @Racer96 thanks for including some neat singles!

"Done" really is a fluid term on this forum though, isn't it?

Lasted about a month. Im in a good place with chipping once these PNYs are done. Im *hoping* to slow down. My chip cabinet doesn't even have space for more sets, and I refuse to buy another cabinet because I'll fill that one up too

Yeah, there have been lots of sets I've liked and then forgotten about with time, but the PNYs are one chip set that I keep coming back to again and again. Having visited NYC last year for the first time and having absolutely loved it, it makes me want a set even more now!

One set at a time... gotta pace myself... lol.

I'm also a big fan of large inlay chips which I know I'm in the minority. They're so cool looking.

I was starting to think I would never get the CDI98 frac chip to complete the sample set. Thanks so much @horseshoez!!!

My absolute pleasure! Glad to see it completed the set!

That one makes me sad. This was the original ES tourney T500, before GPI said a white base was not permitted with dark spots:

The alternate chip (that was made), while nice, is a lesser chip, imo.

Yep. The restricted list of allowed spot colors for white base chips (plus no V spots allowed whatsoever) killed both the original ES T500 and the ES $1 chip.

out of curiosity, what colours don’t they allow with white base chips? Are many colours restricted, or just a few?

I no longer have access to the prohibited color list, but it was long. Mostly dark colors, maybe around 20 or so.

Any ideas if this is because it makes an unstable chip/inferior product, or some sort of arbitrary rule?

I just assumed the dark colors would transfer to the white making the chip appear to have flecks in it?

 

[detroitdad]

The chip set i was supposed to get on WED didn't make it today either

 

[BGinGA]

It is assumed due to the reject rate being too high, because of the different 'molten' temperatures of the materials -- creating split spots, etc., which are worse with V-shaped spots.

Not uncommon in similar products produced by other clay chip manufacturers, either.
