Are these worth anything? (1 Viewer)

[veintidos98]

Cleaning out my grandfathers basement and found some of these old chips, does anyone happen to know anything about these? Are they worth anything?

Those are Paulson starburst chips. There is some value to those. Do you have more or does the picture show the whole lot?

Sure are! Not gonna be a millionaire but those are nice chips. Those pinks are gorgeous, WOW.

Starbursts are usually worth roughly a dollar plus, with the plus being color - the more interesting / uncommon, the more they're worth. I imagine if you had a hundred of those pinks, you could easily get $300 for them, give or take? But their worth is basically as playable chips in quantity, not as individual collectibles.

There’s a lot more than I thought, about 561 chips total. Here’ the breakdown by color:

White – 20
Pink – 69
Light Blue – 81
Green – 190
Bronze (?) – 201

There looks to be a couple different shades of pink so not totally sure if those are considered different colors. Also, not sure if color with 201 is actually “bronze” can’t really tell what color they are honestly. One of the pictures makes them look a little grey but in person they look more bronze-ish.

For 200 starburst. About $250 is good price. $300 if you need them for a set

Probably metallic silver.

These are from the little craps table correct?

Guesses but:
.75-1.25 per chip for the green and white
1.5-2.50 per chip for the pink/light blue
2-4 per chip for the metallic gold (larger range as they don’t come up often at all)

Surest way to get market would be to auction them on here. List them (each color with its own auction) on a thur, start at $1, $1 or $5 increment, end Sunday night around 10ET and bump daily

I'm pretty sure I offered 250 shipped on these on fb lol.

Probably metallic silver.

They look more like metallic gold than silver. Reference pic below. Primary HSI 25k vs 5k.

 

[rjdev7]

They sure look like metallic gold to me. I've had some experience

 

[Colquhoun]

The darker pink ones look like LCV, and the lighter SCV

 

[joeyshin]

First photo is definitely mettalic silver. Second photo is definitely mettalic gold.

I’m interested in the metallic gold/bronze starbursts

 

[allforcharity]

Guesses based on colours I have seen and handled:

White
Dark Green
Sky Blue
Fuchsia
Metallic Gold

If all of your chips are in Excellent or better condition, I'd estimate altogether would be worth about $850-900 at today's prices. They probably need a little cleaning.

 

[postmanpete]

I’m hunting for some green starbursts. Are you interested in selling some of these?

Thanks!

 

[wickedwonka121]

I missed this post. Are those pinks still around, for sale?

 

[SendThatStack]

Awesome that grandpa had good chips. Anyone have stories of finding good chips at a garage sale or estate sale?
