My new mixed Paulson THC set - "Deep Blue" (2 Viewers)

[upNdown]

Hey @RainmanTrail
Somebody recently asked me how much the Golden Eagles weigh. I dunno, I don't have a scale. Do you?

Looks like they're about 10.8g ea

 

[upNdown]

Interesting. They're heavy.

 

[dickzapper]

Genius mix! I feel like it might be worth flying out over there just to play with it!

I saw these in the gallery and came here to comment how incredible this set is. Well done. The colors and labels go sooooo wel together!

 

[RainmanTrail]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I thought people wouldn't like them as much as I do because of the blue theme, but it looks like I was wrong (y) :thumbsup:

I think you would have some issues if you used the Outpost $20 with dirty stack and or low lighting.

I am loving the black $20 option. I have been in the CPC chip design mocking up chips with those colors for a few hours now.

Retro red is probably closest to the red on the $5s. But CPC doesn't have anything quite as bright as these.

Interestingly, the $5 from my pending 'Lucky Buddha' E&C set has a retro red base with bright white and light blue edge spots on it too. But I designed that chip before I ever even saw these.

btw, is that Lebron James' ear and shoulder in your profile pic? haha

Yes, I got lucky and was able to go one of the conference championship games last year and ended up on national tv several times. He was standing right in front me as the game went to half time.

My phone was blowing up as a bunch of my friends were talking pictures of their TV's

Lucky Buddha Blue Steel?

It's time to officially dub this set "Blue Steel"... Derek Zoolander approved

Definitely high octane leaded. That casino was supposed to open in the early 90's but never opened. That's why I was guessing they were literally brand new.

Looks awesome man! Love the blue theme. I can appreciate the color cohesion thought process for sho. Well done. And yes, keep the Congress chips as part of this set.

 

[RainmanTrail]

Two beautiful sets there! Any chance there is a sample set still available for the customs? I also love the non-traditional colors.

I might be able to offer samples. I need to finish oiling, counting, and taking pics first though. Once I get it all organized, I'll post a pr0n thread and offer some samples if I can. But I don't want to take any "dibs" yet, and I don't want to derail this thread. Just keep your eyes out on the forums. I'll probably get around to it this weekend.

 

[MG20]

These are all great looking sets. I'll be sure to keep my eye out!

 

[liftapint]

dibs

 

[Drumhoss]

Great looking set!

these could of been a nice addition if they were the THC mold instead of RHC

 

[RainmanTrail]

It's almost impossible to find a non black inlayed THC $100 chip with a blue edge spot to go with these... Almost

 

[upNdown]

Nice. I love the California Bell Chips and I don't think I'd ever seen that hundred. That's a hell of a chip.

I've been wanting to put together a mixed Paulson THC set and finally have one that goes well together that I'm excited to put in play. I knew that the focal point of this set would be the Paris $1s, but as you know, they're not exactly easy to find. I was able to talk @bivey into letting me have his two racks, and I harvested the other two from the Paris a couple weeks ago after playing in a circuit event. It took about 8 hours to harvest 2 racks, but it was worth it. I LOVE these chips. They're hands down the best $1s out there IMO, and I can't wait to get them in play! After getting them home, I realized how well they went with my Le Cove fracs, so that box was checked. I initially wanted to pair them with some PCA $5s, but I wasn't able to acquire any (at least not without losing a lot of money in the process and WAY overpaying for them). Then @kmccormick100 sent me a text of the Golden Eagle $5s from Spinettis (which @upNdown also has) and I immediately called Mikko and said "TAKE MY MONEY!!!" I also recently picked up a set of Palais de Congres chips from @liftapint and when I put the $20s next to those Paris $1s, I knew I had the perfect match.

All the chips in this set have blue in them, which I think gives them a nice touch. They're all in either near mint or mint condition. They'll be in play this coming Wed night at my weekly game in San Jose (PCFers welcome).

I also got a new camera and lenses in the mail today that I'm playing around with. So without further ado... the pr0n!

Awesome setup .... Love those $1's

 

[David O]

I like the way the blue goes through the whole set but too bad you do not have that same blue in the hundo. If you had a differnt $20 with the blue this chips could make a nice hundo.
Nice set

 

[Meathooke]

Just beautiful!

 

[CacheCreekCollector]

whoa that's a pretty damn epic set @RainmanTrail. I'm a straight-up THC addict (leaded, Short-Cane-Version) & i got some mixed emotions brewing right now... admiration with some jealousy thrown in. Well, as Tuco Salamanca would say:

Rainman sold off all the Golden Eagles, among other chips.

[WhiteMamba1646]

beautiful set! just curious. do you ever get dirty stacks with the paris $1's and the Eagle $5s?

 

[Davism72]

Those $5s are some of my favorite chips I've seen on here so far. Love the pop.
