If you can get ahold of some red chips, they're the traditional color for 5s... and there's some interest (i.e. a market due to shortages) for blues these days... so if you wanted, you could probably trade some of your blues for reds (at better than 1:1) and use the blues for 500s... Just an idea.

I already bought 1,000 fauxs... I have:

150 whites
100 reds
300 blues
100 greens
50 blacks
300 purples

I was planning on building a 500 chip (or so) tournament set and using the rest for a cash game set (was thinking about using white/red for cash and blue/green/black for tournaments, with purples as color up/rebuy chips for each)
