Yep. I can say that because I’m a lunatic myself@Perthmike you are right and you are right. Especially the part about us being such lunatics
and sell them at reasonable prices.
They sell them at the prices people pay at auction. I blame the buyers lol. Us lunatics in action again.
Well if there are 300k of them, then the prices shouldn’t be as bad... that whole supply/demand theory... unless people purposely hoard it and drizzle it out.

Super nice chips, but I’d rather chew my own arm off than pay $7 a chip for them. But then I’d feel differently if I had a tonne more disposable income that I do lol.
I think he's pretty reasonable. Those fives started at 1.49 each which has become obviously a steal. The higher denoms, maybe not, but anything under the 500 chip was a deal IMO.Your best bet for a pricing standard would have been the Jack Detroit chips, with the price range between Jim's sale price and the secondary Marketplace / eBay listings.
And, in my objective opinion, Jim's price is not what most would consider "reasonable" -- most experienced chippers understand that Jim leaves a LOT of potential profit on the table during his offerings.
My understanding is that they were a private vip order made through a legitimate contact at a casino/cardroom.
They are valuable because other than the boat chips, that hasn’t been done before. These are more of a custom style chip than the boat chips were, as they were designed in the style of a legitimate ship casino type chip.
They are additionally more expensive because they are Cali coloured, which is extremely rare.
They aren’t any more valuable in real terms than any other Paulson chip, its just that we are all such lunatics that they get bid up to outrageous prices because everyone wants to be the first to get something rare.

I grew up in a small town smack dab in the middle of an Indian Reservation where most of my friends growing up were Southern Ute Indian. It just so happens that they have a casino AND one of my closest friends was the Chief Operating Officer for the Tribe. As COO he oversaw all investments including casino operations. Unfortunately, he is no longer COO, and it NEVER dawned on me to hit him up about getting some VIP chips until I saw this set. DAMN IT!!!
LIES!!!
Only if that poker room had a valid license from a state gaming commission.

Not true ..... there was a valid gaming license. Issue is GPI only sells to casinos
GPI wouldn’t consider a cardroom to be a casino?
