Great nomination.

One of my favorite sample sets ever.

 

[AlbinoDragon]

Shaped inlay, leaded lusciousness. Tasteful and unpretentious spots. No bright, flashy colors. Just elegant class with an understated yet unmistakable inlay.

 

[upNdown]

I don’t have a particular nomination. But if your vote isn’t for a red Paulson produced between the mid-‘70s and the mid-‘90s, you’ve lost the way.

For me this is the perfect $5:
Arc yellow, shaped & textured Inlay, leaded THCs... what else can I say?

PS: The lack of Cali $5s in this thread is a bit disturbing

BTP & OCC !

That Arc Yellow

For RHC $5s, I like the Cancuns (here overlabeled for my Jack cash set).

And now for something completely different…

Dude, love the innovation here. I was chasing jack 5s for a whole week. I guess they're hard to get. post or message a set pic I'd love to see them with the jacks.

 

[OneGearManySpeeds]

Love this thread!... anyone have any good ideas of widely available cali $5s that look amazing and could serve as nickels? I've been chasing S&K Cardroom fives and eventually gave up. Looking for that Arc yellow or peach. Are they all 5 to 6 a chip? or are there any widely available and reasonable? Every cali 5 I like is rare and hard to get lol

 

[LeGold]

I think, still, this one. Alas, I'll probably never had a chance to own one or even see it IRL

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but Cali $5s are usually in very high demand and very low supply. They are out there but be ready to search for some time + spend some $$

Yeah man, quality $5s can be tough to source, in general, and Cali $5s are quite a rare breed.

A word of advice I received early was to find my desired quantity of acceptable $5s and build my set(s) around those. It's really helped.

Many collectors here spend years putting together single barrels and racks, so hang in there -- there's always next week!

Moar…

I think all the Nevada Club/Lounge chips are represented…

Old school chips sure were nice!

I could do with fewer faces on chips, but otherwise, I’d go old school all day!

Pope upNdown the 13th has spoken.

Capital City, Bally's, Treasure island, even the IGs are not bad, Love a blaze 5, those chickens, the desert spas

BUT how do you beat this chip?

Tasty. Why arnt they available?

 

[OneGearManySpeeds]

First chip I played with in Vegas. First single Paulson I owned. Had to toss it in. Maybe not the best but it’s a best for me. If anyone has some hit me up.
