These are def not Paulsons. Kinda hard to explain the feel of it but the sound is def similar to PGI clay chips to me. The oversized inlay does make them kind of slick though. Either way, their pretty solid for someone not wanting to break the bank on a set

how much do those Star chips weigh? They’re like the hottest thing on the market and I bet they weigh around 8 grams apiece.
TL/DR - I don’t think 8 grams is particularly light for a lay chip. I bet it’s abot average for clay chips being produced today.

Depends on base color...

If you meant to write, "since Paulson got the lead out"

But I think the truth is that since Paulson go the lead out, nobody’s making 10g chips.

When did this happen?
Im curious of how much lead was used before this time?
And how can I check if the chips I want has any lead in them?

Mid to late nineties?
You can search; there’s some threads on it. The threads will tell you how much lead, but it was quite a bit. Like 40 percent of their weight was lead?

Great, thanks!

To assert to Apache that he is lying or misrepresenting his product is nothing short of the definition of hypocrisy. If you are incapable of recognizing that then there's a bigger issue and it has nothing to do with poker chips.

Your family doctor should be able to help with that giant case of constipation. Eve if it's due to a giant suppository that you inserted yourself.

No charge.

Here is my 2 cents. @Apache made to the public a great chip. one that i have bought myself. The fact that they are called Paulson Elite is awesome but the fact of the matter is i bought them because after i got a sample set, i enjoyed how they felt. They are very Similar to the feel of a Paulson. Some people like me would never pay 4 to 5 dollars a chip when in fact that is all its representing. Other's have that kind of money and have that level of dedication to collecting. Myself, i want a set i can play with and enjoy while my friends keep talking about what an amazing chip this is. The fact that its Paulson/Not Paulson couldn't of swayed me either way. I enjoy how they feel and personally how they look. Maybe the white edge spots would be the difference i would change, even though i don't think that's possible, due to security reasons with GPI but overall, $1 a chip for a nice chip that represents a very very close resemblance to a "Casino Chip" is a steal! I love the chips! Strongly recommend getting a sample set to see if you feel the same. Everyone is different. Chip On!

Josh - don't worry about it - BG is a lonely old man that has nothing better to do than call people out publicly - no one pays any attention to him any more....

Ah, where's that "Ignore" button ... found it! (y) :thumbsup:

So you're offering to remove suppositories for free now? Awesome, thanks man!

Interesting feedback - so lighter feel eh ? If they compare to these old fantasy Paulsons Id be thrilled - they would be close enough - How close are they ?

Just got my samples yesterday: The build quality, the color and material feel as good as the WTHC. The weight and sound however are not on par, but I would say they are a good alternative to ceramics given that Paulsons are hard to find nowdays.

 

[asam2006]

Elites; I gotten, I love'em. They're great chips. I've buying Paulson home chips for many years. The latest version that comes out always takes a lot of criticism from "the experts" but later on they turn out to be pretty good chips. Not casino chips but pretty good chips. Elites are pretty good chips. I'm glad I have a lot of them. No regets. I especially love the Elite chocolate brown 25 cent chip. As a matter of fact I'm shuffling a stack now.

 

[Brandon25]

Paulsons are quite the investment for the beginner. All depends on your budget!

 

[JRReynolds6181]

Was checking the internet for reviews on Elite and came across this thread - I’m happy to say my sample of Paulson Not Paulson CGI Gemaco big offcenter inlay white spot “budget” $.95 per chip so that’s $600 for a reasonable tourney set how the hell is that “budget?” at least they’re not china clays but apparently not good enough made in same factory with same materials as Paulson but not Paulson Elites arrive tommorrow. I’ll let you guys know what I think!

 

[Darson]

Semantics aside, these are superb value for money compression molded clay chips with excellent quality control.

And the kicker for me - where else can you get new retail clay chips that are this yellow?

So I've had my Elite Paulson (not Paulson) chip samples for a couple of days, I've slept on it, shuffled them, and here's my final verdict:
PROS: The colors are bright, they handle and shuffle nicely, they are light, very bold design, you can very clearly see chip denoms from across the table, clear design, they stack nicely, they're smooth like their casino cousins
CONS: The white spot is dirty on the chip faces after two days, I don't want to have to clean my chips after every handling, they are very slick, as other posters mentioned the inlay covers almost the entire chip face, the 100 and 25,000 are indistinguishable color-wise (not the end of the world), I always fancied that lighter is better but these are almost weirdly too light - the few casino Paulsons I have stick together better because they're less slick and a touch more weighty, I'm actually not in love with the design (honestly I think the labels on my Milano chips look better and they're a fraction of the cost), the design behind the number is pretty busy

So, in conclusion, it's not the set for me. I chose Horseshoe Cincinatti for my profile pic because those are the chips I fancy and want to get. I don't have hundreds or thousands lying around so I'm going to collect them bit by bit. My next buy is a sample or a barrel of those. Thanks for listening!

Good for you!

 

[JRReynolds6181]

I just wanted to threadjack with positivity things were going in a pretty dark direction.

 

[Brandon25]

I’m actually not a fan of these chips. They feel great but the design just isn’t for for me

I'm sort of with you. If they offered them with a smaller inlay and anything other than the 3 white edgespots, even solids, I'd like them more.

I'm in the minority but I like the plain edge-spots for a change which look cleaner. I think these would gain a lot more popularity if they allowed for customized color and opened up the palleted the 9-12 (forget how many) colors to say 15-20.

I 100% agree on not liking the oversized inlay and inlay design though.

Oh who cares about the vernacular! These are quality chips and they are far superior than China’s clays.

And that’s all that matters. As long as the consumer enjoys the product, and knows what they are buying. It’s KINDA like buying a fake Rolex. If you know it’s fake, it makes you happy, and 99% of people think it’s a Rolex, The Who else cares. Now I do not condone buying fake watches, but you get my point. Happy consumer, happy business. Well informed consumer, happy business
