Found National Poker Series (1 Viewer)

[MegaTon44]

Confession - I wouldn't have found PCF if I wasn't scouring the Internet looking for these goofy half-mooned, bland house molded, bright ass poker chips. However, like having a dog with one eye (which I do), I love these little bastards anyway. After compiling 1 large China clay set and 2 large casino Paulson sets, I really wanted to begin building a home market Paulson set. Sure my wife told me that the $1000 chip reminded her of Big Bird, but I can't be down with the haters. I'm color blind, so I enjoy seeing loud ass colors on my chips.

Anyway, I know SPS has some, but I'm not trying to spend $4 USD (after shipping from Canada) per chip. @David Spragg was kind enough to ship me his remaining samples, and they look awesome. I have no preference on denomination - I just want to buy some. If you have any that you would be willing to part with, please let me know.

Thanks so much!

P.S. After spending a shit ton of money on chips over the last few months, I promised my wife I wouldn't buy a new set until 2017, so don't go being a jerk and offering me 1000pc because my wife will fuck me up.

I managed to build over 600 of these chips but it cost me like $1500 in the end. I don't regret it. I bought about 100 from SPS too to round out what I needed.

This is a tough set to build but it's worth it.

I know you put in work to build that set. I lived vicariously through you during my first month on this site [emoji3]

what sort of break out are you looking for?

 

[MegaTon44]

what sort of break out are you looking for?

I either play $1/$1 or $1/$2 NL (2 tables) or tourneys (2 tables), so my goal would be to get as many pieces as I can for all denoms.

EDIT: I'm not a huge fan of the gray NCV chips, but I could probably use them as T5000.

Have you emailed them to see what kind of price break they might offer for a bulk sale? $3/chip plus shipping is high, but they might knock it down if you're buying more than 25 chips at a time (plus shipping costs per chip become lower, too).

Very good point. I did email them about 4 months ago and they were flexible if I purchased 500pc (I really like that vendor). However, even around $3 shipped, still a little pricey. Plus I dumped that money, along with thousands more, into my GV primary set [emoji41]

"Trying" to take it slower on this one and buy smaller quantities, so I figured I'd hit up my PCF friends and snipe a handful of chips here and there.

I might be able to part with my odd numbers. I have to take an inventory

I really appreciate the consideration. Thanks!

No problem. It's hard to come by these and someone other than me should enjoy them.

I won't over charge you either. Some of them were $1.50, some were $2.00, and I'd tell you which were which and such.

Thank you! Looks like $2.13 per chip USD. Based on how these prices have been for NPS, that's not bad. I didn't notice the US as a shipping destination, but I'll research further. Much appreciated!

I posted this before:

I have this (500 mint chips & 30 plaques):

160 x 25
160 x 100
100 x 500
80 x 1K
20 x 5K plaque
10 x 25k plaque
+ one of a kind dealer button

It was my first set, for the right price I could be tempted to sell...

Hmmm, PM coming. Thanks for responding!

Very nice set, Thomas. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[Thomacetti]

Thanks buddie, guess it was time to say goodby to my first set Paulsons.
It gets no use (like the rest of my sets ) and since I bought the Rounders tourney set I knew I would never have the occasion to play with the NPS.

My other three sets (PCA/TRK Rounders/BCC MJC) will forever stay with me, even if I don't play with them.

Congrats Dan !

Oh did you sell it?

 

[MegaTon44]

I was a flip flopper on this one. Initially declined, got an expert opinion on NPS supply and demand, buttered my wife up a bit, and it looks like we'll make it happen. Thomas is an awesome dude, and all we need to do is square away shipping from Belgium and we should be good to go. Thanks for asking Mike!

That is, assuming Thomas can part ways with his first set [emoji6]

 

[MD Mike]

Yep, his set is one of a kind. You won't likely find that anywhere else. It was hard to scrape together what I did and I haven't seen any new NPS chips available since I "finished" my set so it's not a bad investment!

 

[MD Mike]

Also please let us know how you buttered your wife up so I can use the same technique when I want to spend more on chips "I need"

You locked her up so she can't stop you from spending money on chips? Interesting approach. Is she angry when you unlock her? You are going to unlock her, right?

 

[MD Mike]

how did you fit her inside that locket?

Ingenious!

 

[Thomacetti]

This set is underway...back to the mother land


Enjoy them Dan !

 

[MegaTon44]

After hanging out in customs for a week, the chips made it to their new home. I apologize for my ineptitude in displaying them, but I wanted to share anyway.

Thanks so much to Thomas for his willingness to part with them... and for wrapping the chips so well that they could have survived a summer in Fallujah.

P.S. Also want to send a shout out to Apache for selling me 10 x 25,000 plaques, then giving me 2 free. Much appreciated Josh!

Fantastic looking set, Dan. My favorite spots of any Paulson home line.

Thanks Jack! Cant wait to get you back over to light your money on fire with them.

FYP but I'll come anyway.
