Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail (4 Viewers)

[Windwalker]

The Cajun Cup set is now complete.

 

[Windwalker]

The Jack Detroit chips seem to be making a comeback, yes? They were my first @Gear relabel project, and still one of my favorites.

Attempted to arrange and take family shot. Failed miserably. Might need to double-stack them.

That’s grail, right there

I'm new to this type of collecting -- what's a good way to assess the value of my collection? I'm posting pictures of the entire small collection here, since I just started. These are the Paulson Top Hat Classics (I think), I bought the entire set for cheap from a friend. There are about 2800 chips in the collection so far.

I am officially 1 year old on PCF. As the Dead put it best, (they always did,) what a long strange trip it’s been.

What's the value of the collection now? I'd be happy to assist in its assessment. Please post pics of the collection in its entirety and I will get onto documenting and calculating straight away.

That might take up his entire second year

Reminds of my favorite Jerry quote: "“We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice.”

Licorice . . . poker chips . . .

Happy Chipaversary Krish!

 

[superchromix]

Indeed, Krish, it’s been a fun year!

 

[Sambukan]

Yeah i love you krish

 

[FDLmold]

Congrats on one year! I have enjoyed watching your collection grow, had fun imagining what chips you aren’t showing us, and ate some popcorn observing both how people and the chip market react to things you do. I hope year two is equally as spectacular!

 

[krafticus]

Congrats one 1 year Krish.

 

[nightbird]

Congrats on the first year Krish. Looking forward to see what the second one will bring.

At first I was thinking “hmmm Krish might open a card room so he can order custom paulsons”. But then I realized he’s too smart because he knows we would harvest them all. Lol

 

[allforcharity]

he knows we would harvest them all. Lol

So what's your point? (heh)

 

[TKEUofM]

Would that be considered “chip laundering”? lol

 

[khp]

Congratulations on your anniversary at PCF!


Somewhere in this thread someone asked you what’s your grail and/or favourite set. I think you wrote that it’s too early for you to pick. Now that you’ve been here a year, is it any easier to answer that question?

easy solution there - $10/$20 minimum stakes.

Why bother actually opening it if custom authentic casino Paulson chips are the goal?

Originally posted this on another thread, but moved it here. Does anyone know why the Golden Eagle $5 is the exact same chip as a fantasy chip like the Irish Mike $5? Is the Golden Eagle a fantasy casino?

Also, if there was ever any argument that an inlay can make or break a chip, it’s this one.

As with many other Paulson Fantasy chips, the edge spot designs were taken from a casino that either closed or returned their order (in this case the Golden Eagle), and then used to produce fantasy chips. Grand Casino Hinkley is another prominent example which was turned into a few fantasy chip designs.

Ah, so the GE is the granddaddy of that fantasy chip?

Awww, poor Golden Eagle inlay. Why would you insult it so?

 

[GianThaMan]

Most likely. It’s a bit odd that there weren’t any other denoms produced, but I’d just chalk it up to the chips being meant for a few small-bet table games, as I believe Colorado restricted the maximum bet that could be made on one hand in a casino until recently.

You know I was dissing the Irish Mike inlay, correct?

 

[FDLmold]

Of course. Adding some humor to the observation is all.

Oh good. Because I LOVE the GE inlay.

 

[FDLmold]

Oh good. Because I LOVE the GE inlay.

That's a good one. Shaped inlay, bold denom, clear text, decent graphic.

 

[buffalojim]

Golden Eagles, yay! Irish Mike's, nay! Love them Eagles.

 

[Windwalker]

I decided to get back in the Clowns game. The $1s are in development.
