I have been collecting various sets of GPI manufacturer samples (Paulson, BCC, BJ, BG, etc.) for a number of years, and one day came across an opportunity to own this set. It was so EPIC and beautiful that I had to have it. Not just for the fact that they are MINT Paulsons, but that they are oversized 43mm and 48mm and in PERFECT PLAYABLE DENOMINATIONS. These could also be a high denom add-on to any existing set (e.g. final table color-up).

These chips were part of the denominated manufacturer sample series from GPI/Paulson, and they showcase all of the security options that Paulson has to offer. It was always my intention to take some good pictures of it, and now I finally got to it. They are MINT chips, never played with, all still with factory chip dust (which are mostly UV security pigments from the edgespots that glow under a blacklight). I really don't know what to do with them other than to stare at them. Couldn't bring myself to put them into a game.

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I had fun taking them.

There they are... I've been searching for some of those 5k for a long long time. Killer set
 
That is definitely bad ass!! Hopefully someday you come up with a 4th denom! Maybe not your style but for me our Fat Hat set I plan to make MSK T2k and T10k plaques to get to 5 denims, which is pretty ideal. Could even make them fake GPI promo plaques or something cool!

Either way definitely awesome!
