Good morning guys,
I'll pass on getting these samples for now. I have 2 sets on the way... so I'll be waiting on the 'BIG BOY' set for now.
Thanks again for offering these allforcharity.
Have a great week everyone.
Charlie
 
Hello I´m new here and wanted to ask if there is a chance to get one set to germany? Or maybe someone who can help me out on some questions?
 
new chipper here. Appreciate the effort to help share the experience of trailing high quality chips!
 
I have a decent size set of samples I was thinking of doing the same with that I paid $75 for recently. Not sure if it pays to keep the sample sets together or maybe one of each type and send to more people and cheaper shipping? Any ideas

I also would like to participate. Given the original lists haven't been updated in a while, and recent posts are not encouraging, I'm not getting my hopes up.

I've always figured I wouldn't bother getting samples from sets I'll never afford, so this is a fun and inexpensive way to experience some of those sets.

I still have them. Reached out to next on the list twice with no response. Just messaged the owner of them to see where he would like me to ship them.

Hello, everyone!

There have been many, many new forum members joining in the last few weeks and months. Almost all of them are new to chips beyond the dice variety or other metal-slugged plastics, and who among us doesn't remember being there? The advice, which surely should be enshrined as official PCF mantra, has been "get samples". And, of course, there are plenty of opportunities for them and everyone else to get all sorts of lower end plastics, China Clays, ceramics, and CPC. But there has been a bit of a dearth when it comes to Paulsons and other "higher end" chips, as they can be rarer, expensive, or unavailable.

Well, no longer. I have dug into my own little collection of chips to offer a variety of chips in enough quantities that a new interested chipper can physically handle and compare these chips to other sample they may already have gotten. There will be two sets available. Take a look at this picture showing what will be included in the sample set:

View attachment 404586

5x Excellent condition Paulson THC Red (hotstamped MB)
5x Excellent condition Cristy & Jones THC unspecified green (hotstamped PAN)
5x Good condition Paulson THC Chocolate (hotstamped Roulette 1)
5x Fair condition Paulson THC Gold (hotstamped B)
5x Excellent condition Paulson RHC Circus Circus $1 (not the latest iteration)
5x Near Mint condition Paulson Boyd house mold Orleans $1 (Metallic Silver base)
5x Excellent condition Bud Jones S2 Big Easy Casino $1
5x Near Mint condition Bud Jones S2 Big Easy Casino $5
total 40 chips each Sample Set


THE RULES

If you want to receive one of these two sample selections, please post your interest here, NOT by PM. I will wait a few days and sort through the interest posts, and divide them into two groups. If there's a significant Canadian interest, one set will preferentially make the rounds in Canada first. Otherwise, both sets may go wherever they may.
I will mail out the two sets to the first forum member on each list, totally at my cost. Each member, in turn, is responsible for forwarding the set to the next member on his/her list. The package will be small enough to fit into a SFRB in the US, or an Extra Small Canada Post package in Canada, with a little extra room for padding. I would ask that care be taken in re-shipping, trying to use the same care in packaging that you received. The forwarding cost shall be borne by the sender. No addresses should be posted in this thread - that information should be done by separate PMs, from shipper to receiver, in order.

Technically speaking, anybody would quality to receive these chips, regardless of PCF join date, or number of posts, or anything else. However, I will give priority to those who have joined more recently, or those who have fewer total messages, or both. If you are an experienced chipper, you probably won't need to evaluate these, but I won't exclude you.

In order to keep these sets circulating, I would request that each person, in turn, keeps the chips for their evaluation no more than 10-14 days, and post in the thread when you have forwarded the set. I will update the listing from the information provided to let everyone know where the sets should be. If the lists start to get too long, I will post a new thread with updated information and close off the old thread to keep things navigable.

Please treat the chips with care. You may handle, lightly shuffle, inspect, stack, balance, and even smell them if you wish. Please try to keep them clean. Do not scratch, bite, or kick them. Do not mill them. Do not try to peel off any of the inlays. Do not try to test their durability by subjecting them to high impact, corrosion, or other physical stress tests (you can try a psychological stress test, but that would be much more telling about you than about the chips). Do not bring them into contact with dice chips.

If we reach the end of the list, then the last person should be prepared to return the package to me, to my Canadian address. It doesn't have to be by Priority mail, but it also shouldn't take 30 days to get here, either.

If someone has the chips and decides to go totally incommunicado, or figures they just want these chips for free and steal from me, then you will receive NEGATIVE feedback and all the black karma that should surely descend upon your black soul. And if you decide to see it from the cynical perspective that I'm only providing these chips to other people so I can eventually sell them stuff, I say 1) that's not true, and 2) so what? isn't that precisely what "get samples" means?

Feel free to ask questions, and post interest in the thread.

This has the potential to be the greatest game of telephone ever played. I just hope you dont end up with cardinals dice chips, ying yang, and ben franklins by the time it gets back to you lol. But honestly this is a very generous and awesome thing you are doing, You should add a requirement that everybody photographs and posts the samples before shipping them on to the next person.
