Hi Gary,

I love what you have started with your "Turquoise" design!

This special design contest for the 43mm looks like it will be another fun one. Just the samples alone should dent my wallet hard! I see these chips as being perfect for 'Big' tournaments...

I am working on putting together a set for a T70,000 (T50,000) tournament for my dad's 70th birthday this summer. I figure on plenty of 'cheap' T50,000 re-buys to make the stacks deep. If I had unlimited means I would get a total custom set for this that was;
T100
T500
T2,000
T10,000
T50,000
Non-Denom

My starting stacks woulld be 10xT100, 10xT500, 7xT2000, and 5xT10000 (3xT10000 for a regular T50,000). I figure the N-D chip could be 100,000, 250,000 or 25 depending on the tournament I wanted to hold. Bets of 7,500 and 12,500 just seem to make my head ache, that is why I lean towards the T2000. Also with color ups, a stack of 100's (20x100) is 2000 so it makes sense to me.

That being said... back to reality >pout<

The contest is for a set that will have "mass" appeal. While there are many fans of the T2000 and T2500 chips for tournaments on this board, even here about half the members like tradition with their chip's values. For a mass market appeal, I would go with tradition but start at T100 and add a Non-Denom that could be either small (T25) or big (T100,000).
T100
T500
T1,000
T5,000
T25,000
Non-Denom

I hope this gives you some ideas;

Shane

Though my wallet protests... keep up the great work!
