1987 – 152 (36)
1988 – 167 (36)
1989 – 178 (36)
1990 – 194 (36)

Introduced in 1987, these were both the first Paulson chip set and the first full NCV set used at the WSOP. 1990 was the last time Paulson chips were used exclusively at the Main Event until 2007.

Does anyone has the Paulson colors used in this lineup (base color + edge spots colors) ?

The rio Paulson's will always be my favorite tournament chip.

Does anyone has the Paulson colors used in this lineup (base color + edge spots colors) ?

I'm away from home right now, but I have those in my collection and have a Paulson color sample set. If I think of it once I get home, I can look and post what I find.

 

[AlbinoDragon]

Comparing the ones in my collecition to my Paulson color samples, I get:

1 - off white
5 - royal red with blurple spots (?) (I have a ? here as nothing in the set matches... navy and royal blue aren't "purple" enough and dark blue is too light)
25 - indian blue with peach spots
100 - charcoal with arc yellow (95% certain) and sky blue spots
500 - grey with white and black spots
1000 - mustard and day blue
5000 - colon orange with blaze orange, chocolate (*) and yellow spots. (the chocolate looks too dark, but the chip is worn and the sample pristine)

The spots on the 5 has me a bit stumped and the only thing I can think is that it's worn enough (as well as the 100 and 5000) that the colors aren't 100% in the chips from the WSOP as they in the samples simply because they are worn and have seen enough play, drying out and whatever else has happened between then and now that the colors have shifted just a bit.

Short of giving the chips a thorough cleaning and a bit of oil (which I'm not going to do with my collectable chips) these three cases are going to have to be "best guesses, but most likely".

Thanks a lot for this valuable input !

I was wondering if anyone had the hex numbers for the base and edgespots for the 2015 WSOP chips. It would be greatly appreciated. I assume that maybe paulson uses their own colors?

Question is...out of the 2000-2003 Bud Jones, do you use the white T500 or the yellow from prior years...

Anyone know what the breakdown for starting stacks was in 2021?

[Kid_Eastwood]

Only 2 T500 and a T25.000 covering almost half of the stack.

Does it generates a lot of change at the table ?

This thread is one of the best threads on here. I’m trying to bookmark all the most useful threads.

Just reminded me how bad the new WSOP chips are lol

 

[KBBuns]

This is awesome! Does anyone know how many of these sets are made by "Tina"? I have so much work to do for when I do my first group buy

Tina makes this set for sure. Don't know about any of the others. Can get in cards mold or top hat and cane mold.

Added 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Updated through 2023.

Used the same chips as the 2022 Main Event (unless a shocking 25M reveal is coming).

@Zmasterben just bumping this thread to see if you’re following the WSOP Paradise 2023 chips….
Not like you need MORE things to figure out but just curious….

I just focus on the Vegas events.

At one point I was going to do WSOP Europe as well but when I started I realized they use different chips every year and pictures are scarce, especially older years, and I gave up

It also seems like they never use good chips outside of the main circuit. I don't have the time or energy to track everything.

 

[Zmasterben]

Update: I made a glaring error and incorrectly said the 10k chips were not used in 2006. Shoutout to @jeff123 for catching my error. The guide has been corrected.

 

[rustycheerio]

the chips were very good, to very very good, to bad to even worse, to back to alright looking now. lol

Anyone know what happened to the Rio chips? Is it in storage in case the WSOP returns to the Rio?

All destroyed per the gaming commission rules. @TheChipRoom tried to get them but was told this was a no-go.
