What are the base colors on these? Photos a bit hard to decipher. Chips still look amazing.

Ugh, I was afraid of that

If I didn't have a history with these beauties, now would be a good time for me to just move on.

And THAT, for any members who aren't already aware, was Rieguy's regular bi-monthly "My Claim Stake set is bigger than Ski's" troll.

I could’ve sworn that Roscoe’s was grey and Claim Stake was showboat grey…

This isn’t my photo but I think it shows the slight difference.

Maybe the Roscoe is off white?

Of course, if you soak those Roscoe’s (or any Paulson Gray chips) in Hydrogen Peroxide, then yeah… they’ll be a lot lighter.

I don’t see any Roscoe’s in your photo, also I never soaked my Roscoe’s but I wasn’t the original owner (so it’s possible they did?).

So you think all the Roscoe’s I’ve ever seen were soaked in peroxide? eBay, and two different PCF owners?

Sorry to thread crap Dan

Do I need to get you two a room?

How dare he attack my Roscoe’s like that lol

 

[Saditsfact]

I bet if I ever saw him in a meetup…

Spoiler

I would thank him for all his expertise in cleaning and flattening chips and other things I’m failing to recall atm

I don’t see any Roscoe’s in your photo

That's correct. I don't currently own any Roscoe's, or I would have been happy to include them in the photo that shows the spots on the Claim Stake $1s matching the color of my Paulson Gray color sample.

So you think all the Roscoe’s I’ve ever seen were soaked in peroxide? eBay, and two different PCF owners?

That's one possibility, though quite improbable if all the Roscoe's you've ever seen did not at some point in their history have a common owner.

Another possibility is that Paulson simply used a lighter batch of Paulson Gray when they made all the Roscoe's you've seen. I think it's fair to say that there's some variability in Paulson colors, even within chips from a single casino.


That said, the spot colors of all my Claim Stake $1s are quite consistent, and they match my Paulson Gray color sample very closely - but of course they might not match someone else's Gray color sample quite as closely.

Regardless, I think these Claim Stake $1s are GREAT looking chips (even if @Ryeguy @Rieguy makes a limit set with them)!

 

[ski_ex5]

I also meant to say... The other possibility is that Paulson made a batch of Claim Stake $1s (that I haven't seen) using Showboat Gray, or a darker than usual batch of Gray.
