Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail (13 Viewers)

Round 2, only inlay updates. The more I play with these chips together, the more convinced I am about the use of the Jack Cincinnati snapper as the $25. In a lot of my mid-sized cash games, it’s the workhorse chip, and they look glorious in splashed pots.

Exploring a couple more suggestions from the thread photographically later this week.

Thank you for all the feedback, lots of food for thought.

The lineup LOOKS great, but my only caution is how would they play? You have three colors which are relatively common as a $5 chip. Pink could also be a frac, but doesn’t typically get used as a $25. White base is common as a $1 - you should be safe with a white $100 provided you stick with blue $1 and yellow $5, but picture the crew at Degen in Dallas playing with this lineup at 4:00 AM after drinking all day and tell me there’s zero chance someone grabs a stack of $25s thinking they are $5s. Don’t even think about adding a green chip to the equation.

Call me crazy, but what about swapping the pink $25 for a black $20 here?

A chip with some fabulous spots to match the rest of the lineup.

All part of the game, good sir. All part of the game.

First, I never cared for matching the denom text color with the chip. Second, I'm so tilted by the fact that the $100 is the only one that doesn't match the chip (but obviously you can't read white on white.

I might like to see a colored label or changing the denom text color.

Don't know why I woke up thinking of this, but part of me was thinking "what if all the denoms matched a spot color" (not that this is at all what you were suggesting, just that it prompted it). This way the hundo just feels like it's playing along.

( @Windwalker let me know if it's not cool that I posted an edit of your image, and I'll take it down )

Beautiful set….. now all u need is a 43 mm $1k chip to bring it home……
 
Paul-Son apparently took physical Kodak photos of a lot of chips they produced and put them into “photo albums”, maybe to serve as a showcase of their work, or a reference point for designers?

Many the chips that were photographed were notched, presumably for security reasons. Or, perhaps the chips that were notched were from casinos / card rooms that closed / didn’t open.

There’s no real data on how many of these photo albums were made and kept, but I was able to acquire one, and it’s amazing.

Below are a few sample pages. The last picture contains a surprise. It includes a Cocaine giraffe chip, the first documentation I’ve seen of the casino from anything officially Paulson.
