Torn on new chip decision

I've recently received my hotstamped TRKing set, these are solid colored and are my tourney set. We all know that I'm not expanding this set with TRK going out of business. I was adding a few hundred chps at a time as I figured which colors I liked best, that's a lost cause now, so I need a differnt chip.

I have decided I'm going to do a vinyl label on a clay chip, I got samples of the T Mold BC's and Horse heads from ASM. The ASm chips have to be spotted and the Tmolds are solid. I really like both chips, the Tmolds are much heavier than the other BC's and look great, the HH's are, well the classic HH.

I'm leaning towards ASM, because I've already got a solid set. What do you guys.girls think?

I will say one thing, I will eventually do a T mold set, these chips are great, these are really nice chips.

Labels on the t-mold blanks are going to rub against each other. They won't on the horseheads.

The standard response you'll get to a question like this on CT is why compromise, get both.

Personally, I'd do with the ASM option as you already have a solid set.

Definitely spotted HH.

And then you can get the T mold solids and sell me your too small TRKing set.

I'd go with the ASMs.

I think that ASM's A-mold is closer to the TR-King's Crown spots or no spots. A-mold can be with no edgespots but you know this already I guess.
If thats not the object I should have chose HH or Roman.

Nice stacks by the way!

Looks pretty definitive. I'll be calling Cathy this week to place my order...and Jason too, need those labels in about 4 weeks.

i voted "other," but that's just because i love the h-mold. other than that i'd say go with the horseheads because, well, they're also the s**t... in all fairness, though, i have not yet handled the t-molds...

I guess one thing that weighs heavily is the fact that the HH have the deepest recess of the ASM, I'm labelling in case I move in the next year or so, so I don't want to have the inlay permanent. So that's the main drive in the decision.
