The story goes something like this; that a secret group of members here actually able to order an entire set of poker chips from Paulson as if they were a casino.
They succeeded. Moral is its not what you know its who you know.

Off topic but BTP’s are a love/hate for most people. Some love the fun/quirky circus theme, some hate it. Personally I love it.

While the inlay is debatable I think most people would say the colors and edge spots are really nice. If I played a 1/2 game and could use that 1/5/20/100 combo, I think it’d be pretty sick.

Yeah, I agree, it has to be one of my favorite sets ! Would be sweet to own a set of those for sure !
I wonder how many of them are out there ?

In case someone doesn’t read the linked threads, this is totally incorrect. Read the threads.

Well, not totally incorrect -- it certainly is who you know. But very little of the first sentence is accurate.

What came first, boat or BTP chips?

 

[BGinGA]

Boat.

Is boat and BTP connected somehow?

I love the BTP chips, easily my favorite chipset that isn’t currently live. My favorite goes out to the 1990’s Circus Circus chipset, but I cannot pay face value for hundos!

Seems like BTP/Boat chip history is like Fight Club. And we all know the first rule...

Take it to the Politics forum!

Hate the inlay... Love labeling these over as late-colorup chips for a tourney.

I think @Toby did a phenomenal job with the inlay, but to each their own I suppose. Your new inlays do look nice btw

What does this have to do with this BTP thread? Are those not SB chips?

Oops, yes, totally. I’ve been contemplating too many relabel ideas at once.

BTP Chips are my grail set. However, I could never pay $10 a chip.
