Otherwise, please stop spreading baseless rumors about a well-regarded PCF vendor.

It doesn't seem baseless, since so many people agree that it happened. But I don't understand your crusade. I don't see a negative implication here. I think it's true and I also hold him in well-regard.

Pretty sure we will have to examine all of his associates criminal records and his grade school disciplinary records before we can make any judgements about his current standing in the community.
 
I think we need to make an October 18th hearing group to talk about this issue and find facts. I nominate @bergs and I to do this while extremely drunk. As a vendor, we need answers.

Facts are whack. I think baseless accusations will work just fine, those seemed to work for the Gman defense. :unsure:
:ninja:

Yeah, same. I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been, but I could give two shits whether or not Jim said he was going to ban flippers. It doesn't change the fact that I respect the pricing and terms of his sales, and I will continue to do business with him.

It was more about me being tired and letting a certain member's crusade get under my skin. I got a good night's sleep, and I'll concede that there's probably something to the apparently widely held belief that Jim said he wanted to ban flippers once.

I'd still love to see the posts, though, if anyone has been more successful than me in finding them. And if I'm always asking for proof when people make claims that I don't believe, well, I guess that's the poker player in me.

It'd be a very different game if you told me you had quads at showdown, and it was my responsibility to prove that you didn't.
 
As a NEW member, I'm super interested to see how the prices go. I have no collection, just some stock chips (scroll, crazy horse milano), that I play monthly games with. Then I looked up Paulson THC vs RHC differences, opening my world to more variations I never knew existed! Collector shops and pricing that was way beyond what I thought....

It seems to me that any Paulson will always increase based purely on the fact that they don't sell to the general public right? And now I understand the value of casino chips from shut down casinos and I mean Jesus! They are like any other collectible!

Do we know for sure of any vegas casinos likely to close in the future?

I am going to start getting a few chips as a hobby from whatever casinos I visit here in Canada. If not for the value (not a lot of molds up here) than purely for the hobby/fun. That being said, my friend is going to vegas in 2 weeks and I've asked him to try to get me some Paris $1 and $2 racks... Will be my first 3rd party harvest hahaha!

If successful, I will be trying to build my first Paulson set! Yay!

“Please the court” (nods at an open door and a large fern) “I’d like to call the following people for more testimony on the actions and events of 18 October…”

(Throws down manilla folder, black and white pictures of a bonobo slide out) “Rainman, who will only be permitted to testify in the same manner he writes, which will involve speaking for at least 6 minutes without drawing breath”.

(Slams down Denny’s menu) “Jim from the Chiproom, whom, to our knowledge, has never ordered a French Slam”

(Pulls out a small canister, puts both hands in, claps and spreads chalk powder all over the room) “Schemendrick, who’s name sounds like me in the morning after drinking 14 straight hours before without hydrating”

(Pulls out a flip book and cycles through the pages which shows a stickman hitting a wall and becoming a pile of goo) “The Aussie fellow with the weird memory and will testify that we never went to the back of the loo together to share gator legs on the barbie”

(Clasps hands behind me dramatically and raises head to the ceiling) “annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I call Josh Kiefer strictly for humorous reasons, assuming he can find timely and safe transport from Iowa to attend the proceedings in time”.

“This, on the day of our Lord (checks watch) Tuesday”.

*Slowly puts down his paintbrush in his "magical paint Disney book, slurring heavily*.

I would just like to state, for the record, that a French slam has no commonality to the lumber jack slam. And has not be found in possession of any of the 1994 holographic baseball cards, including the.... *Focusing my glasses* RICK-KEY HEN-DUR-SON SPE-SHALL ED-I-TION

I will question all key evidence. Pogs need slammers.

I motion my Turducken back to @bergs and rest my petition.
