WTHC foil chips? (1 Viewer)

[Benjaminotaur]

Hello all,

I had someone off forum ask me about these, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them before, certainly not in this quantity (500). Would these be WTHC silver foil hot stamps? I’m trying to get a good set of search terms, but I’m coming up with either too many or too few (and wrong) results. Any help is appreciated. TIA!

I think those were probably made by Josh at Apache back in the day when he could order such things.

This has got to be them. So it's a generic Paulson stamp? The pic they showed me has purple (150), yellow (150), blue (100), white (50), and black (50). It's the same generic breakdown companies still use now.

And Josh Kifer? Or another Josh?

Josh at Apache Poker Chips. Pretty sure I pulled that pic from Apache’s site with the way back machine. Back in the good old days people could submit orders to Paulson which is why you see hot stamp customs floating around. They also sold to resellers and I think he did several different orders on the pips mold and sold them on his site to the general pop. The ones your friend is looking at likely were sold by Apache originally.

Any idea what the going rate is on these? I'm sure that's going to be the first question I get once I relay what they are

I don’t have these anymore but yes hot stamped Fracs!

Not really, purple and yellow probably have the most value. I would search Avalons (another Apache creation I believe) to see what they have been going for but they also have denoms on them (some of them) and are probably worth more. Depends on condition too. The ones pictured look like they have seen a good amount of use.
