Wow, tempting!

"Casino de Isthmus City is a fictional casino that appeared in the James Bond film, "License to Kill".

Paulson produced three versions of the Casino de Isthmus City chips; four if you count the shaped inlay versions of the 1998 set (BCC also later produced a version, so there are actually five different versions of these chips in existence).

The original movie prop chips use the Top Hat & Cane mold, have distinctively different shaped inlays, different edge spot colors and configurations, and are very rare.

The '98 home market version is also on the TH&C mold, share colors/spots with other Paulson home sets of the era, and were produced with both round inlays and shaped inlays on some denominations ($5, $25, $100, $500).

The 2005 home market version was produced after the GPI merger, and use one of the versions of the PAULSON CHIPS mold (they vary by the diameter of the center recess) with round inlays. These chips share colors and edge spots with other GPI-era home market sets.

The BCC version has slightly larger round inlays and was produced on the flame mold, using similar colors to the '98 version (I think, I didn't look it up).

The TH&C and RHC molds were both used for Paulson home sets until the GPI merger, at which time the PAULSON CHIPS mold was introduced (the card pips or suits mold came later)."

I thought that sounded familiar.

No such thing as chipnet though, at least not relating to poker chips.

This is where unlimited funds would come in handy.

Oh man, I keep coming back to this. I have never had Paulson or BCC, only CPC. I need a new set as well. Maaannnn. If I did this I would be interested in the $1s and a rack or 2 of the $5s. Would anyone have any 50c chips or know of a suitable chip to use as a quarter? Maaan!

Update! I think I have a deal in place for the chips, but the buyer is international, and it has taken a while to work out the details via PM with the different time zones. So, I think the set is off the market at this point, but the deal is not finalized 100% yet.

I propose a 12-hour extension of the Day 1 period. I'll post an update in 12 hours, and if the deal falls through somehow, I'll post here and we can begin the Day 2 process of requesting sets of 500 chips or more.

Thanks all for your interest so far! I'm excited that this big set might stay together, although I appreciate all the interest from everybody that would like smaller sets too.

Final update: I have a buyer confirmed for the full set. Sorry to everybody that was hoping for a smaller set! I appreciate all the interest and activity in the thread, especially since this is my first sale on here. I'm glad that I was able to rescue this set from the wild and bring it into the PCF community. (y) :thumbsup:
