Are the T1s no mold? I'm assuming it's just hard to see but I can't see a hint of a shadow on any of them.

The $1 chips are the same hat and Cane mold, sorry, bad cell phone pictures

I wonder how much 25/100 blend in together in darker rooms. On the photos they seem nearly the same...
 
Wow, great prices and surprisingly limited quantities. Really like those Cincinnati inlays. These are going to be tough to resist.
 
Granted, I've never played a game with them, I've only played with a stack of them. And yeah, they definitely feel smaller, but they don't feel like a stack of smarties or anything.
I'm thinking most people would get used to them and they'd feel normal, sometime around the 2nd or 3rd hand.

I'm not sure if I'm trying to convince you guys, or me. I'm sitting here playing with a barrel of the 36mm buy0in chips, and I keep resisting the urge to grab some 39mm chips, to compare. Because when you're playing a tournament with these babies, there will be nothing to compare them to, so they'll soon feel normal. Right?
Right, guys?

Wrong, if I obtain a set of 36mm chips I will be scouting out some 39mm solids for an "oversized" high denom project.

Just do it. I don't think you'll regret it. At first I almost have buyers remorse but I quickly fell for them. I don't have another [39mm] set so I won't be flip flopping between sizes but I'm sure it wouldn't be an easy transition

Here is how I talked myself into them initially.

Tournament chips are play money. The chip doesn't hold any actual value within the confines of the tournament, just theoretical value during play. Sure each chip and decision represent a certain amount of equity being gained or lost, but you can't do anything with those chips in that moment to redeem them for money.

Therefore it makes the cash game chips more prominent by being bigger, and being able to cash them in for actual dollars/having real value during the course of the game. Just think of it as an edge spot progression, but with chip size.

Also I may have played a whole bunch of tournaments using the chips from both of these casinos, so personal bias blah blah etc.
 
those new white ones and red fives look hot

That is what makes me want to grab one of these sets. Solid price. I don't have room in my chipset rotation for another set (or the budget, but I'll worry about that later).
 
If anyone is waffling on whether to purchase or not due to size, don't. I have answered the question many times and yes, they feel different at first but that quickly passes. They are a solid chip and you won't even notice the size difference after playing with them for a rotation or two. They will feel like any great mint to near mint Paulson and worth every penny at the great prices Jim is offering them for. My set is my "go to" tournament set and I only keep one set of those in my cabinet since 98% of the games I host are cash games.
Ok now the question! Where else are you going to get Paulson chips in this condition and at these prices? Buy them, try them and if you don't like them you will easily get your investment back. Better that than facing the regret of passing on a great opportunity.

Its not the size of the chip that is the problem. I'm not worried about that. Poker chip purchases come from winning at poker. Well..........I'm not that good lol.

The other problem is, SUN afternoons suck for me to try and get online (I'm not usually home). I don't think I'll be available for a 1pm start anyways. If I can change my schedule, or get someone to purchase for me. Then I really might go after the first cash set. As stated. The ones and fives are just to nice to possibly pass up. I mean.....DAMN!!!!!!!

You need a set. I don't know what I will be doing Sunday but if I am free I can try to assist. I'd really like to fondle you chips.

Like I said, I am an enabler, even more so to someone local.

My post was more generic and was not intended to point you out specifically so maybe I should change the wording a bit. If you need help with purchasing one for you let us know. I am sure we can find a designated purchaser for you!

I know David. I'm in turmoil over this lol.
 
I would be glad to help you unless my offer is putting you more in a struggle! I would be glad to help a brother out!

Strongly agree. When I first got my 36mm it was really odd, however, now I love them. They are my favorite chips to shuffle and my go to tournament set.
