ok, will post this afternoon. The thing that gave them away at first was the 1000's are a little duller in color than the real WTHC's. Then, I became aware that the texture was not that of a paulson. Too plasticky. Real paulsons if you push a stack together they will not slide around. These slide around. Other than that they are very very difficult to distinguish. The sound is almost identical, the colors and edgemarks are perfect aside from the yellow. Texture is what gave them away.

That looks very solid to me.

Maybe because they are slightly used they get a tad more slippery than mint chips? Maybe the color comes back if you oil them a tiny bit.
If they are fakes they look craaazy good.

Every production run will have very slight color difference. The $500 purple in the WTHC set always came in with a slightly different color.
These are real chips. Without question! China can't make a shaped inlay. Try removing it.

That is some funky shit, I'll give you that. Do you happen to have a scale to weigh these chips? I would figure your World Top Hat and Cane (WTHC) chips would be in the 9.5 - 10.5g range if legit, and noticeably lighter if not.
that's a crazy price for 1000 WTHC...
I don't have a scale on hand. I am so sure these aren't real, the whole reason I wanted Paulsons was because of their feel - design to me is important but secondary. These do not feel like paulsons, they feel like dressed up china clays.
Yeah, it would be disastrous.
@Apache If the seller doesn't take them back, I want to make samples available for everyone on the forum who wants them to know what the fakes feel like, and would be happy to send you a sample set.
Let me know if you can pull the label off? If you can they are fake. If you can't they are real.
Did you watch that video? Is that normal for paulson chips to end up with that kind of texture??
When you mix used chips that could happen.
If you used PayPal then you are protected. Dont do anything with the chips yet until you sort this out.
Sorry for being so adamant here, what constitutes mixing used chips?
