I’ve got 800 Crystal Palace chips here. $1500. PayPal ff or Venmo plus shipping. I think it’s a fair price - you can currently get a set of these from Spinettis (and maybe you want to grab them and add on to these) of 300 chips for $600, but that includes no fracs - arguably the most valuable of the bunch. So these are priced below retail with a better selection of chips in a pretty playable breakdown. And remember, they’re never making any more leaded THCs.

There aren’t a ton of leaded Paulson sets out there in playable amounts that include original fracs, so these are worth a look, even if they came from an unglamorous Nevada cardroom. This set is currently the biggest set from this casino listed on this site’s “biggest set” thread. I don’t know if it actually is the biggest.

I’ve tried to picture a random selection of each denom, so you know what you’re getting. But if you’re a serious buyer and you’re not familiar with these chips, talk to me and I can do more pictures.

$.25 - 164
$1.00 - 213
$5.00 - 322
$25.00 - 101

You can have the case if you want it, but it would probably cost more to ship it than it’s worth.

These are all casino used, so they’re in varying conditions by denomination, as expected. I’ve cleaned a lot of them. But then played them, and mixed in the clean with the dirty, so good luck with that.
If you zoom in, you can see there’s some warping across the denoms, though more so in the $1s and $5s. You could flatten the warped chips or pick them out. If you play then as is, you will notice some wobbling stacks when somebody bangs the table. Not fall-over wobbly by any means, but just know they’re not all perfectly flat.

The fracs mostly look great with mostly intact hot stamps, many of which still shine and they shuffle like butter. These are also dirty in a strange way, maybe from storage. Because the heavily used $1s and $5s actually have clumps of gunk on them as used casino chips normally do. These don’t. But they do clean up nicely with some effort. Many/most will still just barely stand on edge.

The $1.00s are in similar condition maybe a touch better wear-wise, but strangely a touch worse, hotstamp-wise. Many/most will stand on edge. The hot stamps are still all mostly there, but fewer of them are shiny.

The $5.00s have seen the most use. The hot stamps are mostly not there. Most of them you can still read what the stamp said, but make no mistake, they’re probably like 80% worn away.

The $25’s are gems. Beautiful condition, all stand on edge, most of the hot stamps are still shiny.

Great grab, these look fun to say the least!
They really do. Love the 25s and the fact that they have everything I need for a 0.25/0.50 game was an easy decision for me. Lately I've been really digging chips which are already worn in and I've been wanting a hotstamp set to play with for our circus games. It just feels right to me for some reason.
 
also a full LCV set
Had a few racks of the $.25s a while back.. nice chips

Those are the ones I’ll miss most of all, scarecrow. I’ve been using crystal palace fracs in my mixed sets since I showed up here. When I went busto a few years back and sold off all my chips, the onliest thing I kept was a barrel of crystal palace fracs.
But hell, I don’t need them now, they belong with the set, and maybe I’ll get back to them someday.

If you love something, let it go.

When I was in like 6th or 7th grade we had to do a drawing based on a line of poetry that was important to us. I dug deep and came up with the most powerful emotional thing I could think of - “white bird must fly or she will die.”
It was from an episode of Knight Rider, where Michael had to let his true love go. Still brings a lump to my throat.
