Definitely conflicted on which tourney set to snag here
question why get a tourney set thats 36m, smaller then normal, and single colored versus the more unique looking chips? I know it could be preference, but is there any build difference between them? Do people feel the chips are to small when playing? do they hold up any different in the long run? Im kinda up and down about the Low stakes set instead of spending the same amount basically on Jack Chips... I do like the Insert of the low stakes more then the other sets (which are cheaper)

I am torn between a tourney set and the used casino chips. I am a bit worried about the amount of wear on the casino chips but I think they are better looking.
Hi Jim
Are there going to be any more additions to this sale?

Anyone here murdered 36mm before? How was it compared to 39mm?

About the same.

I own some 36mm paulsons. I haven’t played an actual game with them yet, but I’ve spent plenty of time shuffling them and fooling around with them. I got used to the smaller size pretty quickly. 3mm equals .12 inches, so we’re not talking about a huge difference.
I assume casinos choose these smaller chips for tournament sets because they were cheaper? And solids - again, I don’t think anybody prefers solid chips; they’re just cheaper. In fact, if you look around, you’ll notice that the vast majority of casino tournament sets are solids.
How do they hold up? I haven’t read any reviews or reports on this, but there’s no reason to believe these chips would have a shorter life span than contemporary Paulson RHC 39mm chips (which, in the contest of the typical home game, means they’ll probably last forever.)
Here’s a 36mm chip, on top of a 39mm chip:
I don’t mind solid color chips, especially bc it’s super common for tourneys. Cash game has the edge spots, tourneys are solid.
Do I prefer edge spots? Sure. But these chip room tourney RHC sets are so nice it’s worth it to me.

They hold up the same as 39mm. Play great. Only real negative is they don't stack quite as high safely. Fantastic chips. I miss my old huge set

I think casinos use solids for tournaments to easily identify them as "worthless", i.e. no cash value, both for employees and guests.
Correct and they don’t want them the same size to sneak into a stack

Does anyone know the labelsize needed for the 36mm chips?

What were you looking for? If we split it as Canadians we can save on shipping and duties maybe.

Are the WSOP Paulsons 36mm or 39mm?

Is there anyone buying a T200000 set that would not want the T10000 chip? I want to make those into a frac to go along with the low stakes set
Wait until after the sale and contact Jim. If he has extras, he may sell just that chip.

Not a bad idea
Love that color a lot too. Definitely my favorite of those tourney chips.

I agree. I want to buy a set just to get a bunch of that color too.

The small stakes Majestic tourney represents the one everyone should go for.
1. Least used by the casino. Likely best condition.
2. Does not have stupid "POKER" headlining the *inlay* (inlay being a bit different from a lot of hotstamp tourney sets)
3. Includes a pretty decent yellow color for the 1, whether you plan to use it as a 1, or engage in homicide.
4. Best color contrast of all the chip sets being offered.
5. These 36mm RHC's(I probably am mis-quoting the name of this mold) seem to have more clearance to the edge, so these these will likely not fleabite all the way into the mold like those GODDAMNED 39mm RHC's ...
6. 50c per chip. (MIC DROP)
{stock market disclaimer: I will buy nothing in this sale, nor will I sell from this sale, nor am I being paid by your wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/groupfriends for other services rendered} (the latter, a lie...)
Last edit:. Jim is offering some pretty sick deals here. My only regret is that so few here are bright enough to appreciate this shit....
