[Maverick152]

Paulson WTHC Should I keep this as a big set or split? value For a 2000 chip set? I am not sure if a premium for keeping it a set that big

any $5s? if not then sell off the 1s as racks and the rest as a tournament set

Really depends on the breakdown and how much/what you play. If you are a once a month one table tournament kind of guy, you could probably peel off half the set. If you don’t play tournaments at all, I would definitely shift the whole thing again, it depends what the breakdown is.

Give it a lot of thought, not easy to replace.

Can't suggest better than this! The real value lies in the 1s: I remember not so long ago that these were going for about $800 a rack.

not getting that much anymore as the market magically got flooded with 1s.

if you do have 5s then id look at splitting up what you have to make 2 potential cash sets and 2 potentail tourney sets which will get you max value.

-cash sets 600 chips each

-tourney set 400 chips each

with out knowing the exact quantity of each chip its hard to know the best way to go with your set as you only have pics of 1500 chips posted so far

thank you. Sets in my collecting life have always held more weight. in addition, once broken up...no going back. Lots to think about.

It’s harder to get value out of such a big set because there are just a lot more buyers for smaller sets and/or pieces.

 

[tabletalker7]

You would get more out of a sale of one monster set, but how many buyers can afford it and are in the market for it? It could take years. If you split it off you will have a whole lot more buyers in the market. Will be a lot easier to sell it split up.

 

[bernielomax]

If this were me, I would keep the $1's, $5's and a rack of $25's and sell the rest. I think I would regret selling the $1's and $5's for sure.

 

[UniLover]

Split them up into a perfect condition set to put away for sale later, and enjoy a low denom cash set and a high denom tourney set.

 

[davislane]

cash sets
200 x $1
200 × $5
80 x $25
20 × $100

tourney sets
120 x $25
180 × $100
100 × $500
80 × $1000
20 x $5000

Thanks - Makes total sense. Just a cool set, and once done, it’s done.

Stop.

Mods….please ban @Maverick152.

And, save me some 1s….I’m broke.

 

[TheRealTeddyKGB]

I'm looking for 2 racks of ones

So you know what my vote is!

 

[BGinGA]

2000 chips.
400@1; 400@5; 400@25; 400@100; 200@500; 160@1000; 40@5000

Sets 1 & 2 (400 chips each):
200x1, 200x5
200x1, 200x5
Sets 3 & 4 (600 chips each):
200x25, 200x100, 100x500, 80x1000, 20x5000
200x25, 200x100, 100x500, 80x1000, 20x5000

200x25, 200x100, 100x500, 80x1000, 20x5000

this works also. 25s and 100s can be easily found if people want to build upon the "cash" sets.

agreed, and I’m not even sure what the value is as a 2000 chip set.

 

[BryantRC]

I'm looking for 1s and 5s if you ever want to sell.

 

[DallasDude]

Gosh those are sweeeet

 

[Huskerchipper]

The question to me is the why?? I would really take some time to decide on this one. If Paulson holds their position these will certainly only keep rising in value and as u say when they are gone they r gone forever. It would be EXTREMELY hard to ever replace especially in their condition. I absolutely love these chips and I would keep em. Good luck with your decision.

 

[TheRealTeddyKGB]

I need a rack of 1's & 5's

 

[Huskerchipper]

I hope it works out for you!! I know you have a beautiful set! I'm paying for my CPC order next week.

 

[Bacon Dad]

If I only had $16-$20k to spend on these beauties….

I think you will regret selling all of them if you do. But sometimes you have to do things you don’t like or want to do. If you can, consider keeping a 600 piece cash set for yourself. You can always sell that later on if you want or need to.

There are plenty of folks here that will strip that big set down for parts and pieces if you allow it. I’ve seen prices from $8-$10+ per chip for certain WTHC denominations. Do your research and look at older classifieds. Contact the sellers and ask them their opinion on your prices per rack and barrel. I don’t think big sets like this sell very often, not like racks and barrels.

Good luck with your decision.
I hope I’m fortunate enough to help strip it down with them. Man I love those chips!

interested!! need racks of 1s / 5s
