What's the difference in textured inlay vs smoother? Is "smooth" synonymous with matte?

Going off Colquhoun's post, seems like smooth/matte is the way all day.

Yes, the matte is very smooth, and the base vinyl has almost a metallic quality to it. It seems that whatever you print on it makes it look better. When light reflects, it seems to glow brighter. Don't get me wrong, the detail on the textured labels is just as sharp, and the base color of the vinyl is bright white.
Unless you REALLY hate a smooth inlay/label (and there's plenty of folks that do) I would go with matte labels for the print quality, vibrant colors and reflectivity. I've always loved the Paulson smooth inlays, but many folks can't STAND them.

If anyone that works in Illustrator wants the layered file to do mockups, I can provide a link via PM to download this file. It is 3 layers; the base chip, the mold, and the label. You can swap out the base chip and/or the label to see your designs with the Cap Dash mold.

39.3, but not sure .3 affects anything

This is what I've currently got going. Of course not finalized and not perfect, but we could probably have this ready to go by the end of the weekend.

A few thoughts:
- Isnt the skirt and platform “New China Club” inlay green?
- Thoughts on making the $1 more teal blue and then making the 50c quarter pie blue/black?

Originals are green. Looks like the cards mold remakes they did had a mix of teal/green and yellow.

I prefer the yellow, that way they aren't exactly like the originals, but can still be seen as tributes.

Got it on the $1 and 50c. I was thinking of having an option for those that want that version of the 50c and then the quarter pie

Yes I agree! Options for 50c sounds fantastic!

This would be a much better tribute w the exclusive mold!

Now the question is… CPC tribute or Tina tribute hmmm…

Tina Tribute's and CPC tribute, both did it the same way. I think it was done that way because the only $25 online shows a yellow logo/dress. That was a prototype from what I remember so maybe the final color chosen was green for everything. I personally like the yellow, but maybe we should have a poll on what the others think too.

There was also a Light Green/Light Blue $25 manufactured and made so those are out there somewhere...

Sorry I meant for me hehe.

Love NCC’s history and TRK NCC is my unobtainable grail set.

So Im deciding whether to go Tina route or CPC route for an NCC set for myself.
