Not Mine What are these Paulson $25's? (1 Viewer)

[upNdown]

they must be fantasy chips, right?
I'm sure I've seen them before. I know DaVinci has made a knockoff of this inlay.

Right!
Thanks guys.
Dunno if that's a good price.

Dude's been trying to unload those for months and has slowly come down on the price. If you needed them, I'd at least make an offer.

I can't tell the condition fully, but under $2 shipped is decent. OBO is also a plus. The 98's are on the THC mold, which is cool (05 version is on the shittier house mold).

If you are interested, offer $150 and see what happens.

They didn't sell again today. Interested to see what he lists them at when he re lists them. On his seller profile I see he's sold a few Paulsens. I've watched these for a long time.
I'd love a set of Paulsens but I'd hate to have to try to piece a set together.

Seller obviously feels $180 is too high, or he would not have included a 'make offer' option. Personally, I'd agree, but then I think paying $2+ for any home game chip on the PAULSON CHIPS mold is fucking madness.

FYI. This is not the "'Paulson' chip mold", which is I assume you mean the ~2005 version. This posting is the '98 IDC hat & cane version. I have some of these and they are very high quality (e.g. no warpage, which may be seen with the 2005 version or the WTHC I own). I really like my WTHC, however these non-casino chips have more warpage/movement in a stack versus real casino chips (e.g. HS Cleveland).

Thank you, Captain Obvious. I am well-aware of the specific nature of the chips in the OP. Never said they were not THC.

I think he thought you meant the "PAULSON CHIPS" mold, ha. Dave is kind of a bad ass with the chip knowledge. Actually he is a professional Chipologist and holds 3 PhD's in Paulson Chipology with a Masters in customs, ceramics, and china clay. I am often humbled by how much he knows. He is a great resource for all of us!

No offense. I am relatively new. What does "chips in the OP" mean?

What does "chips in the OP" mean?

The chips referenced in the Opening Post (or Original Post).

For clarity, my prior post opined that I agree with the seller that his used Casino de Isthmus City $25 chips (commonly referred to as James Bond 1998 or JB98 chips, produced as fantasy chips on the Top Hat & Cane mold prior to the Paulson/Bud Jones/B&G merger that created GPI) are worth less than his $1.80/chip asking price (since he is entertaining offers for less).

In a fit of sarcasm, I also opined that I think it is stupid that home game chips on the butt-ugly PAULSON CHIPS mold routinely sell for in excess of $2/chip (and often much higher). Other than the pricing comparison between what I consider crappy chips and the chips listed on eBay, the two opinions had nothing to do with each other.

I know DaVinci has made a knockoff of this inlay.

Yes, one of the very first china clay chips produced were imported by Da Vinci Imports, featuring Paulson-like 4d14 edge spots and colors and labeled as "Casino da Vinci" - very nearly a direct copy of the Casino de Isthmus City inlay.

I have a set of the DaVinci cc on the sprint mold stored away. Those were the first china clays I ever had. "casino DaVinci"

+1. I have recently been trying to complete my '05 CDI set and refuse to pay more than $1.50/chip.

(05 version is on the shittier house mold).
