1000 Paulson Casino Aztar (Evansville, Indiana) Chip Set (2 Viewers)

Do think your cash game would support that many 100's? I'd like a barrel or two of hundreds for my Aztar cash set. If you think you might sell some of them to finance the quarters purchase I'd be interested. I may even have a rack or so of chips that would work for quarters if you'd be interested in a trade.

Fair warning - BBO is having customer service / product quality issues. Read about it here from two plus two:

You can get a better table from PCF vendors like @T_Chan maybe not the cheapest table option but you'll get something really nice.

Gear offers a range of options from do-it-yourself stickers to full service where he mills your chips, applies the stickers and seals them. I went with the full service approach at a cost of about a buck a chip. Considering you are thinking about one or two racks of chips, I encourage you to take the full service route. There are lots of options for chips - I used solid hot stamped Paulson chips from various sources - pretty much any chip can be repurposed so long as there is an adequate recess to host the label.

Here is a thread where Gear shows how things get done:

I wouldn't sell off a nice set like you already built. You can add-on a rack or so of repurposed fractional chips and be able to spread a nice range of games.

Good info here! Thanks a bunch! I was also debating just getting another set for cash since sometimes we will play a tournament style game and as people get out, they start a cash game on the side. In my head, that may require another set that is different, but maybe I could still swing it with one.

I may be interested in that...I do use the 100s when we play tourney style though, so I'd have to think it through. Just kind of spit balling here to figure out what I want to do.

Send me a PM and we could start the talks if you want.

I'll dig around and see what I can find. These chips have the same design pretty much with the Paulson logo?

These are Garden City $1 chips. Another member bought the last 380 hand picked chips and I bought 180 from him. Any others will have to be found from another member willing to sell. A member did thankfully sell me 22 to fill out my rack. I've been looking for a few more barrels myself and haven't seen any come up for sale except singles.

The Garden City 5's with the small label seem to be still available.

What's your family think , when you are down on the ground taking pictures of chips ? ;)

Haha...no one said anything shockingly enough! I buy and sell stuff all the time though, so they probably just think I'm going to sell them to get different chips. Wasn't really my intention, but it is a possibility I guess.

I'm not sure 100 is enough the way my friends play their quarters...haha Those would prob work otherwise though.

I'm pretty sure you can order two racks at that price assuming he has them in stock. And yes, those are Paulson RHC mold chips, which should match your current chips.
 
We play a $0.25/$0.50 weekly. In my opinion, 2 racks of $0.25's are perfect for our game...everyone gets $5 (a barrel) each with no more added to the table for the rest of the night. We start at $40 buy-in, so every starts with (15)-$1 and (5)-$5. and All rebuys are $5 chips there after. Two racks works out well for us, for a single table game.

I personally think you have a really nice almost complete cash set with the chips that you have. Unless you are just tired of using these chips and definitely want a different casino set, I would sell off the higher denomination chips and do what others have suggested...find a couple of racks of another RHC mold chip and have them relabled by Gear as Aztar $0.25 fracs. He will do a great job for you. It's fun to search out the chip that you want in the style, color, spot pattern, and quantity that you need in the classifieds. That's the challenge most of us face when using a casino set for cash....the matching $0.25 frac is rare, except in Michigan where they have $0.25 stock chips.

I'd say 1.00-1.25 a chip is doable, maybe a smidge more on the hundos and up. But since the mass of chips are 1/5, a average of above could happen.

I'll toss out a message to someone with a cash set that would work as you've been talking about. Might help!

I think this estimate is high. And it's tough to compare prices to Apache - Apache is one of the only retail operations that keeps Paulson sets in stock. So he's able to charge somewhat higher prices than what sets routinely sell for, here.
If you search through recent classifieds, I think you'll see that something in the neighborhood of 75 cents per chip is a reasonable expectation for the $1's, $5's, and $25's. The bigger chips will fetch a lot more than that.
I think the discussion here about just adding relabeled quarters to this set is the right way to go. And you could probably finance that project in full but selling off the larger chips. Though I'd say you should hold on to those, in case you decide you want to play a tournament someday.

Keep in mind, the $0.75 price is mostly for the primaries which are mostly in really tough shape. These are secondaries and IMHO should be worth much more than $0.75 a chip. I haven't seen hardly any Aztar Indiana secondary sets on the mark recently...Mostly well used primaries.

Fair point.
Ultimately the best way to find out what a set is worth is to put them up for sale and see what happens. No harm in that. But it seems like unless this guy is REALLY looking for a change in chips, his best bet is to keep what he has and add some quarters.
If it were me, I'd be tempted to keep the $1's, sell off the rest, and build a mixed casino cash set - it opens up a world of possibilities.

How much do you think I could fairly sell my $100s for if I decided to go that way? These chips are in amazing shape really since it doesn't seem like they were used much. I wasn't sure if they were primaries or secondaries at first, but I'm pretty sure they are secondaries now.

I was leaning toward a separate cash set or just adding to this to make it more versatile. We do have random people come to play sometimes and I think it would be nice to have a separate set so we could play a tourney style first and as people go out they could start a cash game on the side. I'd hate to have randoms take chips from the tourney game and use them in the cash game... Not likely, but possible I guess.

No idea, but those look nice. If I had to guess, anywhere between $250 and $400 per rack?
Edit: I'm just spitballing here, because you asked. This is not a professional appraisal.

Oh yeah, I know... Just was curious what you thought! Appreciate it. I'm just trying to decide if my group is going to go all in on cash games, do two separate sets, or go back to tourney style... Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that yet. We did play cash games last time and everyone loved it, so I'm guessing that's the route were going to go with it.
 
jerbeck24 said:
I might go for those! Are you hoping to get some too?
Click to expand...

Yeah. It's a great price and a good looking chip. I have a custom label project in the works and this chip would work well with the chip I'm planning to use as the $5. If he splits the set up, I'll probably relabel and use these chips as my $1.

I'm going to think about it...I think they'd be pretty great for what I need...might need 300 though haha
 
Obligatory soapbox post:

Use your set as it is. Multiply by 4 -- if people buy in for $100 at .25/.50, give them $400 in chips.

Play the game at $1/$2.

When people cash out, divide by 4.

1. Easy-peazy.

2. Gets more of your existing delicious larger denom chips into play.

3. Gets your players used to playing $1/$2, whether at your house or at a casino.

Win / Win / Win / Free (Win!)

I think the entire set is secondary chips..... definitely the $1 and $1000, pretty sure on the $100 and $500.

Secondary $100s in good shape probably worth $250/rack or so. Very few $100 RHC chips have topped the $3/chip mark, and those are all mint/uncirculated. All of the Aztar Evansville chips saw play except for some of the $1000 chips.

Good to know in case I sell some of my $100s...I have a rack and a barrel of them. Yeah, I did some searching today and saw they are all secondaries.

I bought this set from Jim at The Chip Room a while back and love it. I use it as a tournament set for home games and it's great! The set of 1000 chips includes the following:
300 - $1 White
300 - $5 Red
270 - $25 Green
120 - $100 Black
10 - $500 Purple
1 - $1000 Orange (Larger than the rest)

My game is switching to a cash game and I really would like a new set for that with quarters and such. I am debating selling these, but I'm unsure of what I could get for them. I've seen them for sale at Apache (500 for $599). What do you think I could get for these? What chips do you think I should get for my cash game? I was thinking $.25/$1/$5 chips for that set with $.25/$.50 blinds. Thanks guys!
