I've been sampling for a bit now. Included in those samples are a small stack of casino worn Paulsons and some mint Key Wests. I don't think the Paulson sample tells me much. The Key Wests are intriguing. The poker chip world is way too vast to just keep sampling whatever happens across my eyeballs. I'm asking for a little help here.

How can I get a good look at decent condition Paulsons in low quantities for non-grail-chip prices?

Would a stack of ten Indiana Grands be something to target? I've got a single decent chip from my Paulson sample set. The classifieds seem to have small quantities of grail chips or hugely expensive sets that don't fit my sample purpose. Is there a cheap-ish high production run of chips that I should target? Is a "wanted" post effective for a guy in my position. I'm all ears.
 
That's interesting. Is "Not Idaho" close to Everett, WA? I'm looking to buy, rather than borrow. I want to hang on to my samples.

There are so many Paulson RHCs readily available that I'd suggest you track down a mint stack and a casino used stack. Because one won't tell you much about the other.

Just keep an eye on Classifieds or post a wanted ad. Sample IGs are on there all the time as well as barrels of different demons.
 
Just a simple statement of fact. No cause to be angry.
Oh lord.

Hey. I'm Josh. you'll see alot of people here use the angry emoji. In general, it's a sarcastic angry where we are goofing off. No one here thinks anyone who is angry is going to use the emoji button to show it.

I'm offering to give you a few barrels of every chip in literal existence (okay, so that's a bit much)... And I'll pay shipping.

I'm a sarcastic bastard. But I also am the vendor who cleans, reconditions, hot stamps, and mills chips here.

I generally think the Avatar of John Daly with a Skeletor head let's people get that.... But hey.... It's me assuming.
 
what have you sampled already? just to give you recs on what to try next.
Anything worth looking at in the retail sector from Apache or the Poker Store like Milanos, Pharaohs, Dunes, Monte Carlo sluggers, heavy flash Claysmiths, china clays, ceramics including multiple varieties of cards molds, and the two previously mentioned types of compression molded clays. Only the two types that I would call "premium" chips.

Are you being a nice dickhead again?

I'm new here. I'll pick up the vibe eventually. :)

I've seen your posts on murdering chips before, you bastard! (see what I did there?)

You're offer is extraordinarily convenient. I might be able to close out my sampling effort of premium chips in one big shot. I am sure I could make do with two barrels. I'll gladly pay shipping plus a bit for your trouble. I'll PM you.

Apache does sell Paulson's as well, not sure if you saw those on there

I got a batch of the samples. They were heavily worn which is fine. I learned about casino used chips from that. The other offerings were in large quantities. I'm not ready for that yet.

yes....

I had kinda a crap day, so a thread where Josh shoves his foot deep into his mouth does at least put a silver lining on it.

Welcome to PCF. Josh is legit an awesome person. Hell, most people on PCF are awesome people.

I know you said you want to own your samples, that's cool. You may also want to check this thread out:

It's a borrow, but you are gonna get to see a bunch of different kinds of chips in different conditions. Then obviously get a few barrels of whatever you think you like and go from there. You may find you like Injection molded chips a lot(I did), or that you hate paulson metallics(I did that too).

Gotcha. I wasn't sure if they still had the Indiana grand barrels available or not it's been awhile since I checked.
Sounds like Josh can help which is good. He'll have fun with it. I hope you don't get a duck taped zip tied package though.... those take awhile to open

At least I sent zip tie snips with it.
 
You say that like it hurts me. I love my tacos. Youre the one throwing them away. Sinner.
you missed out dude. Brie went out for food at the last meet up @Seeking Alpha Social Club and it turned into a shit show apparently but she saved the day and she came back with an epic amount of amazing tacos.... sooooooooo gooooooood!
 
If you need Paulson samples to check out, and you live in the PNW. You talk to @Saoliver and I.
Don’t do it! This is KIFER’S van

That really did happen!! Totally worth it!
But Josh was too busy being mad at me that I wasn't bringing him tacos to see the glory for every one else
