Hot stamp fracs from the American Place casino (AKA The Temporary while they get the real casino built). These were all harvested by me during the first couple of months the casino was open. They were annoyingly hard to harvest as there were only two tables that had them, the Pai Gow table (which they closed after the first month) and the Baccarat table in the high roller room. I won't call them mint since they're all coming off the tables and I felted them once or twice, but they're all crispy and I don't believe there are any rack marks or flea bites. I can spread them out and take pics upon request. The lighting in the pics isn't great, so they look dirtier in the pics than they actually are. Not sure why, but I can get pics in the sunshine if needed. They look spectacular in person.

Dropping the price every day until these sell! A reverse auction of sorts :p

Asking $550 $490 $475 $450 $425 $400 $375 $350 $325 $300 /rack plus shipping F&F or Zelle. 1 rack is pending, 1 still available.

Interesting color combo :tup:
Agreed! I always liked them, which is why I went back again and again and again to harvest them! Been using them with my Empress set, but since I'm letting that go, I'm gonna let these ones go too. I sold one rack a while back, but I don't think I've seen any other racks offered up here or on eBay.
 
Sorry. My OCD is on high alert.
I have to bring up the stupid casino's choice to put the value of .25¢ on these chips.

It's either $0.25 or 25¢ not both at the same time. Technically, the way it's printed, these chips are worth ¼ of a cent.

Moving on, the chip itself looks awesome. Does anyone know the specific colors? Are the spots peach, white and chocolate?

Hahaha, been through that a few times already :) You aren't wrong at all! Technically they're a frac of a frac LOL

As for colors, they aren't white. I called it neapolitan because that's really what they look like! Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Here's teh image from Chipguide. Looking through the Paulson color guide online, I'd say Fran might be right and it's likely Almond.

Came here to say this.
 
I am interested in one rack at the right price. I'll hit you up if it drops low enough. If I miss out, no worries. Not like I don't have enough chips lol.
LoL, all good. Feel free to DM me where you'd want to be at. If it gets close, I'll give ya dibs at that.

Wow! Not that you mention it... and I go back and look at it....I still don't give a fuck

I do commiserate with you on how something so meaningless can irritate the crap out of you no matter how hard you try to not let it.
 
LOL, yeah, it doesn't really bother me much.

Should see how hard it is to scratch off the dot on all of them? :wtf: :LOL: :laugh: :wtf:
 
Let's drop it down a bit more! I think I'll just keep dropping it every day until these sell :)
 
I'm heading off the grid for about 10 days, and have sent a sample out to get color matched. If anyone is intersted, go ahead and post here and i"ll get back to you when I return!

Still wondering what the actual Paulson colors are for these chips?

If you simply put some other chips of known Paulson colors in the photo, it would help a lot. Even just putting a clean chip of Paulson White would help a lot, as it at least helps you to make any corrections to the color temperature of the photo, which in turn makes the photo more color accurate for the other chip colors in the photo.

Anyway, without having a solid means to color correct the photos for comparison to Paulson color samples, my best guesses are:
  • Ice Blue
  • White, or Off White (Almond is more saturated than anything in the photos)
  • Chocolate
  • Apricot, or Sherbet Orange (sorry, but I can’t see Pink or Light Pink in the photos, though I could be wrong)
