Awesome colours on the T5K & T10K.

Does anyone know the colours for the entire set? I recall a previous thread that mentioned them all but can't seem to find it again.

 

[navels]

is it just me or do the 1K spots look blue in some pictures and gray in others?

I was thinking the same ha. I assume they are all grey and it’s just the lighting.

Insane man... just insane. Heard those are around $80/chip!!

Congrats Krish, these are absolutely incredible. I am in awe of you and your vault.

LOL, yeah, I tried to build a sample set, and I think it was 80 Euro/chip for the couple I needed. LOL.
Oh well.

I have this image in my head of @Windwalker doing some ocean's 11 style heist to get these things out of France.

Really well done.

The Aviation Club chips are out of this world. An amazing get....

It’s the lighting. Here’s the true to eye color:

 

[navels]

I'm not convinced, I think you're going to have to send me a rack just to be sure.

 

[aggie]

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed they weren't custom Windwalker Paulsons .... I guess there's always next month!

Congrats on an amazing set, your dedication knows no equal.

 

[Organista1]

Damn these are real nice! Congrats @Windwalker you came up

Are the $100s Blue or Black?

 

[Phish1321]

Wow, epic set.

 

[Windwalker]

Are the $100s Blue or Black?

Black

 

[TKEUofM]

Black

Cool, very nice set. Must have been the lighting in this shot, or maybe my eyes are just getting bad.

There’s a slight bluish cast, could be the color correction.

For new chippers unfamiliar with these, this thread is an excellent compilation of posts regarding the rarity and significance of the ACF Paulson chips.

In short:

To my knowledge there are around 25 to 27 Paulson sets available. These chips are highly desirable as ACF was a mythical place for all French poker players (and international players visiting France) were used in a wsop event. It is very unlikely that any of the actual owners would let go his set unless forced to do so. As a French collector this set is most certainly the “crème de la crème”, in other words some kind of holly graal.

In all cases, I wish you to put your hands on one of these sets one day. Until then, I am sure that you can have someone invite you for a play with these on your next trip to France.

Congratulations on the amazing pick-up, @Windwalker . I imagine you've made some excellent relationships on the way to bringing this set so far from its home.

Uh, I’m afraid I respectfully disagree...

The colors, spot pattern, shaped inlay, period-appropriate graphic design >>> PH fracs.

But the PH fracs are gorgeous and definitely in the top 3-5.

I bought a barrel of the T5s just to get 1 for my sample set lol. I sold the other 19 as singles over the past couple years. If you snoop around old listings, you can probably track several of them down.

Here it is

Impressive catch @Windwalker
I was on the first group of buyers for these chips and i'm a bit jealous to be honest

Merci @frenchipper !

Beautiful! IMO, by far your most impressive set to date.

Does anyone know what year these chips were put into play? They don't look like they've seen much use.

I think the last time I played a tournament there was 2003, and the older series was still in use then...

Beurk. Comme c'est dégoûtant.

Send them to me Krish and I will dispose of these atrocities free of charge.
