Best paulson poker chips (1 Viewer)

[Rojo0747]

what do you think the best paulson poker chips are?

 

[allforcharity]

Older, leaded, THC mold with shaped inlays in a cohesive set, and in great condition.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Or....what @allforcharity said!!

I was sure this thread would already be over 100 pages in the first day

 

[ekricket]

The ones I own

 

[mipevi]

Well, best Paulsons I've ever owned anyway.

There are lots of threads on peoples’ favorite chip design and inlay designs. There is moral/historical/preference debate about casino chips vs “fantasy” home game chips vs “direct buy” chips. Generally people, including myself, prefer shaped inlays.

But as far as the actual Paulson chips themselves there are different molds and build materials. Personally I like leaded THC mold > IHC, THC, suits/card pip mold > “Paulson chips”, pineapple, and web molds > casino house molds > RHC > Roulette mold.

They're soooo much better after they're broken in.

I feel like someone should make CPC dice replicas. Guaranteed they would be an ironic hit.

Clay chips have flea bites and dice chips don't. Just sayin'

Very common for this question to surface, especially for new members. Best way to answer this question is with another question. Have you handled any Paulson chips in person yet and if so, anything in specific about them that you like? The best chips are the one's that you like the most and feel you would enjoy better than anything else.

Jokes aside, I like the overall quality of dice chips. If they improved the inlay art and colors I think a good quality set of chips could be made using the dice materials. Nothing but good memories playing with dice chips for 10+ years with friends.

I have terrible memories of trying to stack dice chips and they would always explode. We got so frustrated that we would just play out of racks. I ended up going with hot stamped Super Diamonds for a while, until I won enough money for custom ASMs.

Back to the OP...The best set that you can afford...or what @allforcharity said. Bright colors go a long way with me. @JeepologyOffroad

Explode? Not sure what kind of dice chips you were using. They are easy to stack just put one on top of another

Oh I have plenty of experience with exploding dice chip stacks, in home games and in a card room.

No lie, I would buy a set of these. If I had an unlimited budget.

 

[BGinGA]

Dice chip exploding barrels confirmed.

Also, white chip spot should be lav or gray.

 

[surfik]

Any that you can get.. My personal favorite are Noir and Casino de Isthmus

I knew what this link was before I even clicked it.... Horrible...

This is the dream right here. I also love 43mm chips so sets that include IHC's heavily skew my bias lol

 

[MaxB]

Vegas house mold Paulsons .... anything else is amateur hour

Not nearly enough dice chips get blown up IMO

I 'll have to reply to dear @Eloe2000 here too.
614 isn't by definition dull, especially as compression molded clay.

Isn’t this just the Paulson Pro Series with 614 spots instead of 618?

These would look even better in person than on the screen. We are used to busy spot/color patterns online in particular, but these are very well balanced and would be great on the felt.

 

[Coyote]

Indeed.
