Vegas House Mold (Mixed Relabel) Set (1 Viewer)

[pharaohone]

Such a cool set Mike. Nice work on it. Nothing beats an old school Vegas house mold imo.

I love the subtle spot progression and how each chips ties together with that nice pink.

The cache creek $20 and Saraha $1 are some very beautiful chips. I get why you had to have them.

So you have some?

With @ovo you can skip the first step and just ask

How many do you have Frank

close to 150, but like i said, different fonts, bad stamps, not a full rack of goodness

Finally got this set near to completion, so I figured I'd share some pron.

I previously had a house mold set using the sdpms, but I didn't love the overlabels so I sold them to buy some other chips. I can't even remember what those chips were lol but the idea of a house mold set stuck with me and I knew I'd do another set one day.

In May 2019, with my Vegas trip about to commence, I figured I could harvest some chips for fracs, $1s and $25s and start another set.

I managed to get some luxors and Mandalay Bays. Traded some harvested NYNYs with @markleteenie for the sdpms and @wonderpuddle hooked me up with the Orleans $1s.

I decided I didn't quite love that, and saw the new Sahara $1s and decided I had to have them. So thanks to @H|Q for those.

I needed a new $20/$25 and @CacheCreekCollector was kind enough to harvest me a rack of $1s.

@timinater did a great job on the artwork for me and @Gear once again did an awesome job on the labels and colour matching.

So now I have the final version (except for a rack of IOC hundos which is en route and will be murdered) and I think it might be my favourite set that I've ever owned.

And also this alternate $25 version, which I'm also needing labels for.View attachment 598662View attachment 598664

Was milling required to re-label Cache Creek?

Nope the cache creeks had a normal sized label, so it was a standard inlay replacement job.

Got my alternative/replacement rack of hundos in the mail yesterday.

I don't really need another one, but I couldn't pass up for the price, and I'm just not sure about the dunes in the lineup, especially as it's not a relabel. I suspect most people would prefer the dunes though.

At the very least I'll be holding it back to go into my current project, which is a real inlay version of the same set, with Sundance $5s as the basis of the set.

I like the IoC $100 more than the Dunes

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

I like the IOC better too

 

[Perthmike]

Ioc v dunes

 

[ADS Aviator]

If the BS Fracs were not in the set, I could agree with IOC. With that green Frac, I prefer how the Dunes pulls the green from the BS into its edge spot. Nice bookends.

 

[pharaohone]

Another vote for IOC. The inlay size matches better and the color/spot progression seems to tie nicer too. A more humble, but still very much beautiful, chip. Nice work, Mike.

For some reason I'm not a fan of the dunes here. Prefer the IOC! Any label design for those yet?

Dunes, for the history. Got some great history with the Stardust, Sahara, and Bourbon Streets.

Will just be the same, but with a few adjustments like red font and Vegas at the bottom.

Nice. And some lovely texture

The IOC $100’s are amazing. I had no idea from the other pictures that were posted. Keepers for sure.

Now just swap out those THC quarters with the Caesar’s $2’s (relabeled) that you have pictured in the OP and the world will be at peace! Five-chip house mold mixed please.

Awesome set. I’d love to play poker with it - win or lose.
