Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson - Blue $1 or White $1 chip?
Definitely put me down for blue $1. White chips suck and I won't buy any (although a tournament set is put together without any $1 chips [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. I would rather this be my cash set and have my cheap chips be my tournament set but there are YEARS to collect chips so whatever.
I honestly don't care what the inlays have on them or what size they are, you guys hash it out... I just want them shaped. Shaped inlays are the beauty in this set. I'll put up with a lot of paulson's crap and a theme I wouldn't neccesarily have chosen if I can get shaped inlays under $1/chip.

In all the inlays, I haven't seen a Scarab anywhere. There ought to be a scarab in any Egyptian theme. [/ QUOTE ] Johnny5 and I looked EVERYWHERE for a good scarab or khepri image, and didn't find one. We both knew that two chips with big wings would not go over well, but I wanted to get these chips in front of you. We took off the blue Sphinx head because it didnt fit the theme. It had a background image, plus it was a second "pharaoh head" with headdress, right next to the $1 chip. Ten

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson - Blue $1 or White $1 chip?
I need to get a consolidated list of pros and cons for the two choices of "blue $1" or "white $1." Then I'll make a final decision.

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson - Blue $1 or White $1 chip?
Ten,
Add this to the pros for a blue $1 chip. As inflation makes .25 useless in a home games, the color the blue chips provide will be lost. The only way to get blue chips into the game would be to re-denominate them to another value, like $2. When spending this much for denominated chips it just seems tacky to do that. This was my also my reasoning for having the lowest chip non-denominated, whatever the color.

Re: Pharaoh\'s Club Paulson - Blue $1 or White $1 chip?
1) Which is why I voted for the low denom chip being the one that's also available un-denominated
2) .25: Still quite relevant for ante games 3) Mostly, I'm still pretty happy however it goes.

Ten [/ QUOTE ] White $1 Pros: Most casinos use a white for the $1 chip, and this is supposed to be a casino fantasy chip. The chip kicks ass... I love the way the Pharoah's head matches the color of the edge spot. The design really looks good. Simple and classic. I really want to to get this chip but I don't want to buy any 25 cent denominaton chips. I'll be crossing my fingers that you keep it the way it is.

[/ QUOTE ] Email me the sources of these images and I'll try to get releases for them if I decide to use them. I like the second one a lot for the blue chip. I looked high and low for a good winged scarab, which is what I wanted for the blue chip. Ten

Likewise: I also think the white $1 fits best with the fantasy casino theme, plus it looks great. The subtle colour-matching between the pharoah's head and the edge spots is fantastic.

[/ QUOTE ] Not to pick sides at all, but realize that whichever the white is, $1 or 25¢, the sandstone head goes with it. So that can't really be a point for the white $1... Ten
