Mixed Tropicana/Emperor cash set

I was on the fence about them too. The base color is not only atypical for a $5 chip, but it's just not a chip base color that is seen on many paulsons. I don't have a paulson color sample set, so I'm not sure what it is...a deep tan/cappucino/light chocolate deal to my eyes. But as soon as I got some in hand, I was sold.

I'm still on the lookout for a $25 but nothing out there is really doing it for me. I definitely contemplated the treasures $25, in fact I really love the colors and spots on that chip but since the $5 has all that hot pink, I wanted to avoid a $25 with such a dominant hot pink spot too. I'm kind of OCD about that

I've also used the $25 Crystal Parks (red edges) to go with the not so common color scheme.

Good idea, but my wallet shudders at the prospect of paying for a couple of excellent/mint racks of those

Holy Smokes! Where did you pick up more Emperors? I wish i had your Tropicanas and you probably wish you had my Tampa Greyhounds. Let me know if want to unload your Trops and i'll let you know if i want to unload my Greyhounds.

good lucking stuff you got there! how about Crystal Park $20s? I have some that are expendable

I'm curious why recently there were so many Emperors on the market, mostly ebay. I got my rack more than a year ago and that was one of only a few racks I ever saw at that time.
