Not Mine Did anyone get the 1200ish "Sam's Casino" Paulsons in Laguna Hills, CA? (2 Viewers)

So what happened to the rest of the chips?

Perhaps the "seller" realized these are just awesome chips, so he "stole" them back (well kind of stole them back... for $800 of "please don't put my dumb ass in jail money")... if so, I'd say the guy made out like a son of a motherless goat! Please fellow PCFers, don't pay this scumsucking pig a dime (or 100,000 pesos) if they get listed on eBay, OfferUp, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, the Silk Road, or a flea market in Santa Poco. Then again, you probably can't help your addiction to poker chips (I know I can't). All of you soap opera fans will probably want to own these chips with yet another crazy freakin' story... but I will let @kaimat be the one to spill all the beans. Of course, the chips are beautiful, sharp edged and also... infamous (which means "more than famous"). Happy ending I think. I have pics, but it wouldn't be right to share them.
 
Just saw this thread. Great story. Someone should sell the rights to HBO. “Game of Chips”

Well done @Steppenwolf for Steppenup. Actual footage of the transaction below...

Breakdown on the 600?
Click to expand...

Final breakdown doesn't look too bad. The guy selling these used to play poker (won $6k at tourney's according to his stats), so I like to think he provided a decent breakdown.

In the end he said he wanted to keep half of the set in case he ever got back into poker. I think it would be hard for most people to sell their father's custom poker chips, so I can understand that. After he tried to offer $300 to compensate, which I turned down, he repaid the full $800 and apologized "for all the BS" haha.

And now, the pr0n.

IMO he shoulda given you a couple more barrels of 5s and a couple fewer of 25s.

Well, actually he should have given you 1,200 chips.

With customs, having less than a huge, complete set seems like a problem (since you’re not going to find more).

Given that these were his fathers and he knows their history of use, I’d think the preponderance of 25’s says something about his fathers game stakes maybe, like 5’s were antes or something.
 
Maybe a 5/10 game?

I’m just advancing the generic point that with customs, twice the chips is more than twice the utility. (Maybe it will be possible to find more of those pinks.)

Anyway, it’s a nice score even with the dodginess/hassle of the sale. Mainly jealous b/c my first name is Sam.
 
I know this is an old thread. I’ve been away from forum for a bit bec of life… but I just picked up some of these chips and was looking for info on them. I didn’t get them in Laguna hills though. I wonder if it was the same person.

depending where you get them, they are likely part or the 600 chips sold to Kaimet since he prob already resold them after all these years

Yep, it was the same person. I had paid for this half too but the seller refunded my money and sold them locally. Screwed me twice lol.

@pokerpig the seller should have had two wooden cases. I hope he gave them to you. Awesome chips. The seller was the son of the original owner.

Yeah, I bought them on eBay but the seller cancelled the order to sell them locally to @pokerpig.

The chips I bought back in 2019 have since been sold, and I think broken up, but they should all be amongst PCFers.

Oh wow, what an absolute headache this Sam Jr has been. Screwed you over on CL and then eBay.

At least you were able to score half the set. Congrats on a great looking set.
