FREE loan of Paulson clay and Bud Jones plastic samples, especially for new chippers! See inside for rules.... (4 Viewers)

package Has Arrived, I will only need a couple of days with them
I was already leaning to a custom set of ceramics for our cash game and it looks like these have only made that decision easier

Where do I need to ship them off to now
 
I live in Canada if there is still a set circulating around here. Still deciding on my first cash set purchase, looking at these would help alot!

Hold on to them for now, until more US based members sign up.

Yes, there is a Canadian set available. I'll have the current holder PM you.
 
Okay, I think this is where we are with the sets, currently.

Canada Set: currently with @Davis, going to @HeresyReznor, then @davethesave, then @roddy
USA Set #1: currently with @TX_Golf_N_Poker, awaiting someone to sign up for it
USA Set #2: currently with @RowlettTexasChipGuy, awaiting someone to sign up for it

New chippers, here's your chance to handle and compare some nice higher end chips in various styles and conditions. The only string attached is to forward it to the next person in line.
 
Yeah Davis got my address early last week and said he'd send them out. Haven't heard from him since. Hasn't replied to my message on friday.
 
Hey they arrived today!

Once thing I noticed right away is the new Paulson Jacks smell exactly like Plasticine/blue tac, a smell I had forgotten about since grade school!
 
Another thing is the big easy chips are the same brand as the ones used at the Casinos in British Columbia - except the inlay is bigger. They are made of a dry, hard, , slightly matte plastic that with wear smooths out and gets shiny over time. Not sure if these have the RFID in the chip or not. Due to them being unused and still matte, they don't stick together, but the ones at my casino sure did with being shiny and having finger oils - made a call many times and tossed in more chips because thy suctioned together due to being sticky and the inlay space creating a vacuum.
 
Hello! New Chipper. I'm located in the United States. Have a bunch of sample sets but I have never handled Paulsons. I would love to be on the list.

Ok Thank you to @allforcharity for doing this and @HeresyReznor for sending them down to me!
Here is my take:

The set consists of:
5x Near Mint Paulson RHC Jack Detroit Primary $25 - I love these. the feel of them, the edges, the coulour, the weight, and @Gear would be able to make these labels easily. I would say Id love to make a JACK Canadian set, but something about that seems wrong.
5x Very Good Paulson THC generic roulette (Chocolate colour) - I may be crazy but the weight seems heavier with these. I cannot decide which sound I like more... the Jack Detroit or these Chocolate roulette chips.. I do like them and the weather feel gives them a bit of character. I like the old school STAMP feel.
5x Excellent Bud Jones S2 Big Easy Casino $1
5x Near Mint Bud Jones S2 Big Easy Casino $5 - I have heard so many praises for these bud jones chips... while they look nice.. clean.. sounds good.. I find it hard to believe that my ABS chips are that much more trash than these. The plasticy feel is fine and although the spots are cleaner than typical mass produced ABS chips... I really don't see the disparity... I do not like the markings as they give a entry level look to the chips. I can however see these being very very durable.
See above...
1x Excellent Paulson House Mold Planet Hollywood LV $1 (live)
1x Excellent Paulson House Mold Tropicana LV $1 (live) - I do like the custom stamped outer edge on these chips.. they seem durable and typical of any chips I would see now at casinos in LV.. they seem harder and very durable.. would have been nice to shuffle a few but overall if anyone wants to send over a bunch of high denom racks of these - I will be sure to get them back :whistle: :whistling: ;)
1x Good Paulson THC Monte Carlo $1 (obsolete) - clean chip, inlay is a bit boring. but has a feel to the other paulsons.. maybe a bit thicker?
1x Fair Paulson THC Sahara Card Room (Day Blue colour) - see above chocolate roulette review...
1x Excellent Paulson Roulette Mold home game The Aviary custom (milled/labeled) - pretty inlay! my friend who loves birds would fly the coop with these chips! I love the purple/violet colour!
1x Excellent Paulson RHC Mesquite Star $25 with oversize inlay - Love the edges, love the feel, hate the oversize inlay. just seems like overkill.
4x Paulson THC solid Red (milled to 15/16" diameter/unlabeled) - Just love the sound of these! Great weight and feel!

THANK YOU for doing this @allforcharity

@roddy - PM me your address and I will get them out to you in about a week or so!
 
I would be very interested in taking a look at the samples. What a great idea! Thanks!
 
I am wrapped up with my use of the samples-just let me know where they need to go next!
 
I'd be interested in getting to test out these samples. Let me know who I should contact with details. Thanks
