I think the answer is yes, but it’s not clear whether they care, after the fact.

Hey, don’t bring me in on this !

 

[andy699669]

I just want to know the colours of the chips, for research purposes.

 

[andy699669]

Are the colours exactly as originally intended, particulary the 500 and 5000 (white body on 500, orchid center spot on 5000)?

The revised T5000, with the day green spot, is absolutely superior to the original. The original T500, in white, would have been absolutely superior to the compromise, Hawaii Flower, as produced.

You should mock a 100K to get the count to an even 8. Then it would support SHR stacks.

There's a pretty good Cali cash set in there somewhere.

Since people are making Paulson tribute (hybrid) sets and what not, is there any way we can get the Paulson (and every other vendor) put back into the chip design tool?

I'm thinking of grays or purples, if the 500 is white, then the 100 is purple and vice versa.

Maybe violet like the spots of the 5K, or maybe tan with red&white or white& blue spots?

Any inputs for spot patterns?

Any inputs for spot patterns?

If only we could whip up some mocks on the PCF design tool.

I have the consepts for tan, but I might also have the violet or any other colour in case of the 100K is too close to 5K.

Between the Empress Star chips and the Aurora Star chips, which ones are more valuable / desirable?

I know it's based on what people prefer, but between the two, historically, which has shown to be more popular and/or desirable?

Which one has gone for the higher sales price? Which one seems to be harder to acquire?
Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks for any input any of you may have (y) :thumbsup:

 

[crussader]

Empress Star chips are harder/more costly to acquire.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I think there are 1/3 as many Empress star chips compared to AS chips.

AS has a few oversize that come with the biggest price tag though, due to the rarity of any Paulson oversized chips.

Counts as best as I've gathered from PMs and posts. I've no idea about the tourney sets other than that the ES Secondaries are very limited.

The sum of the individual denomination counts don't equal your total. I think you left out the 6500 quarters.

Demand relative to supply is higher for all three ES sets, simply due to less supply. Market prices and availability tend to reflect that.

There were roughly 95,000 ES chips produced across three sets (39k cash, 26k tourney v1, 25k tourney v2), and roughly 205,000 AS chips produced across two sets (135k cash, 70k tourney). So by sheer numbers alone, that makes the three ES sets much harder to acquire, and the AS cash set the easiest by far.

More demand/less supply generally equates to higher prices, although some AS cash chips are 43mm which command a higher price (again, due to the supply/demand for Paulson 43mm IHC chips in general).


Most popular/desirable? Dunno, probably have to take a comprehensive poll across all five sets to get a definitive answer. But I'd guess ES tourney v1 would probably be #1. YMMV.

Thanks @BGinGA ! Your breakdown along with the other responses answered my question. (y) :thumbsup:

The chips were made for casino cruise ships that never sailed.

I don't think this is helpful at all.

What was the reason behind removing them from the chip design tool?

Never existed?

More helpful? Less helpful.
