Not Mine Holy poop, do Paulson Vineyards really sell for this much? (2 Viewers)

I thought Forrest and Larry owned all of the Vinyards that exist. We played with Forrests metric crap ton of them and only a few of us realized they were all worth more than face value.

Not quite all the chips lol, I have a small 500+ set. It was 800+ but I trimmed it back. I know there is a nice set or two overseas also.

If I could get an additional rack of $1s in good condition, my set would become playable.

and yes, I know I sound like a broken record on this topic.

I'm still working on that for you!

I think color wise it would be top 3 sets of all time, for me personally and probably Rainman I think the giant inlays kill it, just like the Ritz and PNY inlays do. Just my $.02. I even like the inlay design though some don't, just not giant slippery inlays.

Yeah, I fall squarely into this camp too. Aces Casino is another one - great spot/color combos ruined by oversize inlays. Unlike the Ritz and PNY sets (which have a different inlay on each chip), the Vineyards and Aces use a similar inlay design for all chips, making it very difficult to distinguish chip values in pots, given the huge amount of the chip face and edge spots that are covered by the inlays (at least the Vineyards are color-coordinated, which helps a bit). Add in the slippery surfaces and the beyond-reasonable prices, and I can't justify the cost for what I want in a playable set.

I agree, the only thing I don't like about them is that I sometimes had a hard time noticing the difference between $1s and $20s quickly in pots. That could've also had something to do with the fact that I was dealing/playing for 40 some hours that weekend...

I remember a couple people mentioning the same issue. It seemed like every big pot I played in with those chips was a split pot game and someone was always stacking chips for ease of counting so I don't think I noticed.

And the solution is: use them in mixed sets!

Can't not think of this clip when I see the subject line of this thread.

The PNY Secondary hundos and Primary 500s in my former tourney set were hard to discern in stacks, too. I should have gone all Primary or all Secondary and there probably would have been no problem.

just joking ... I was being sarcastic about those two hoarders.

Says the man with more chips hanging on his walls than I have in my garage...
