Sitting Out
If you wanna know why I’m selling and a little about my story, see bottom of post.
Admins, please delete if you feel this thread is inappropiate. I think it should be in accordinance with the rules but will understand if it is felt that it should be removed.
A BIG thank you to this forums membership and the knowledge I've already found here, and the ton of info and comments I anticipate here. I'm excited and looking forward to it.
The chips story
Asking for help and they are going to be sold soon.
I'm asking forum members to help me determine a value, this set is for sale.
I have a 500 chip set of Paulson’s. From what I've learned thus far, these are Paulson THC Palais des Congres (PdC), apparently are highly sought after and rarely make an appearance. I purchased these chips off eBay from Nevada Jacks back in the early 2000's. I was very much into all things poker at the time including playing underground games around Dallas.
They were used for three or four home game tournaments and played with a handful of times with my then young granddaughter.
Until I got these out of the closet a couple of weeks ago, then had been sitting in the case for more than a decade. I can't call these chips mint, they're not. They’ve been used and enjoyed, but not much. I'd call them 9 out of 10, but I'll leave it up to forum members to decide.
I'm considering putting this set on eBay withy an outrageous price just to see if anyone out there is willing to pay it.
I'd ultimately like to either get an outrageous price off eBay, or a face to face meeting with payment in cash. I'm on a fixed limited income now (technically disabled) and will be taxed on anything other than cash. I'm not opposed to shipping to sell them as well, but as a last choice if possible.
I don’t remember if the case was part of purchasing the set, or if I purchased it separately. I feel like it was a separate purchase. I do remember there was a gold handle between the two round knobs on the front that I removed for fear it would break. I no longer have it. Nice case, but veneer, likely made in China. It has a few nicks/scars; I’ve tried to include detailed pics. I’ve also included pics of the chips I found to have what I think will be called “fleas”, or chips on the edges. There’s also a few I found that have marks on them, maybe from other chips. While I did of every chips edge< I did not look at the face of every single chip, so it’s possible there could be others. There’s some that look a little dirty from handling them, the lower denomination $1 and 2.50 having the most, again, /I didn’t look at the both face sides of every chip. I've done NO cleaning of these chips, these pics are straight out of the case.
So, here’s a TON of Chip pics. Enjoy and please comment, especially if you have an opinion about value.
My Story
I was diagnosed in 2017 with a degenerative incurable lung disease (IPF or Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis). Among other things, I’m raising money for an additional 10L Oxygen concentrator to add (in a Y) to my existing machine. Medicare will not cover an additional machine until Hospice care is needed. Hopefully that’ still some years from now. If you Googled IPF, you’ll understand why I say I hope I still can measure my time left in years.
I've decided to start shedding some stuff I no longer use and let someone else enjoy them. My prized poker set being one of the things I’m letting go of. I knew I paid around 500 for this set and figured I’m never going to enjoy it, nor will anyone I know ever appreciate it again, so figured I’d see what it might be worth. I had a hard time even finding any info on these chips, but finally found a pic in the “what’s your dream set” thread, and that sent me down quite a rabbit hole. Frankly, I was a little taken aback at how active a forum dedicated to collecting poker chips would be. You guys are hardcore about it too, I love it! I know someone is going to absolutely love this set, would be nice if it could be someone from here who I know would love and appreciate them.
