For Sale Paulson Starbursts lot of 80 (1 Viewer)

[tsossong18]

I was scanning craigslist in my area and found these. The seller had some pretty terrible pictures up and was honestly overall misleading, as there were no pictures showing any marker on any of the chips. I picked them up just because why not but have decided I really will have no use for them at all and will just pass them along with no intent of making any money on these, just want to get my money back and hopefully make someone happy. Here we go..

I would range these chips from being in poor (marker, warped (1), scuffed faces) to near mint. Most of these chips have almost no bites to very minimal bites, all will stand on edge with ease. I picked these up from a guy just outside of St. Louis and he said they were his aunt's who was a dealer on the riverboat casino. I assume he was talking about the Argosy Riverboat Casino in Alton, Illinois which in her time (he was 50ish) would have been the Alton Bell Riverboat Casino. This is not for sure though and just my best guess. Only 4 of the yellow chips have some sort of hot stamp underneath the starburst hot stamps and they are all different. I will include separate pictures of each. Sorry for the long descriptions but this is my first time and want to be as forward as possible.

$50 shipped w/o paypal fees or $50 shipped +paypal fees

• x20 Orange - 17 are in VGC to near mint. 3 are in poor condition due to the hotstamp being worn off and 1 being very slightly warped. All edges are in VGC to GC. Will try and show as best as possible in pics
• x40 Yellow (Sold) - all 40 in GC to near mint. Some fading of some leaving a few different shades of yellow. No idea if cleaning/oiling will fix that or not. I haven't cleaned/oiled any. As stated above, 4 have hot stamps below the starburst hot stamp. All are different, one has 25c, two have $1.00 but aren't the same font, and one has A.C.V. Each have an emblem that I can't make out/describe on the opposite sides.
• x20 Pinkish/Red - Not really sure what color these are. In the original seller's pics, I thought I was getting red. But they appear more pinkish to me, and after looking at other starbursts, they are definitely nothing close to the deep red that I have seen so I'm leaning toward some sort of pink. These are mostly in poor condition due to marker on 9 of them, 1 being warped and having a look of being put in water for too long, 7
  
  looking kind of like they were placed in water for too long as well, and the last 3 being in the best shape of the 20 but not great. As mentioned above, even though these aren't in great condition cosmetically, they all stand on edge very easily.

I realize this is a lot of description for chips being sold at a semi-low price, but I want the buyer to know exactly what they are getting and be as accurate as possible. If you have any questions about any of the chips, please let me know and I will do my best to give you a helpful response. I prefer not to break these up but will do so if all are accounted for. Hopefully someone is able to get some use out of these or needs these to complete a collection.
