CDI 900 piece mint - one owner - mixed Paulson/BCC - value estimate? (1 Viewer)

[Buster Brown]

I swear I did NOT work on the movie, but there was that time I almost ran over Sean Connery on the Fox lot, LOL.

I got these new, planning to play a friendly game with movie industry colleagues. Never got around to it, so they are mint, in a storage case. Never got into chip collecting so am a little in the dark as to what a buyer might think I have here. Any suggestions for establishing a fair market value? Thanks in advance.

I've always been curious, how much do these chips weigh? That would influence what I would be willing to pay. Great looking chips, but curious about the weight!!

What are the counts per denomination?

It also looks like you have a mix of Paulson Classics and BCC. I would think that a likely buyer on PcF would not want to buy all of these together.

I’d say $2-3 per chip and not all together

10s and 25s are Paulson classics
The rest are BCC, one of three different sets using the Casino de Isthmus theme. Paulson made the other ones.

+1 for $2-3/chip and not together.

The chip count in the photo is 25 per stack. All the $10 and half the $25 are Paulson. Why would buyers not want the whole set intact? It's got good share of all denoms, and all are crisp, clean. Do buyers like one over the other? What's are the main reasons?

Sell the Paulsons and bcc separate. Mixing manufacturers and molds is not something people generally want to do

Plus very inefficient breakdown altogether which will further discourage buyer as well.

And these is what the set look like when mixed with different manufacturers and molds.

Spoiler: NSFW

People who understand what chips are worth tend to like sets where chips are all from the same manufacturer, and likely on the same mold.
People who wouldn’t notice the difference or care about the difference aren’t likely to pay $2-3 per chip (or whatever these are worth.)

Further, chippers tend to dislike this particular mold. Those chips have at least a cult following for sure, and you’ll be able to get your money out of them when you find the right buyer. But many of us refer to this disdainfully as “the advertising mold,” because of the brand name printed around the edges.

The BCCs are on the lighter side. High 8 or low 9 grams if I remember correctly.

If you relabel those blue $10s into $5000s you can sell them for $13.95 each.

I kid I kid...

As others have said, the BCC CDIs are $2-$3 each; the Paulson ones fetch for a little more though.
