I’m curious how one secures 10 sample sets that fast when the limit was 4?

The restriction of 4 was lifted like 15 minutes into the sale.

 

[JoeBGo]

Limit was lifted after like 15 minutes - they didn’t sell very fast this time

10-4

15 minutes is slow? It’s not like they weren’t going to sell out.

 

[Jonzee]

In the last couple chip room sample set sales there were only 100 offered. This one had 200 sets offered…

Let’s hope he has a ton of the beauties for the main sale as well!!!

Lol people already bent out of shape about people selling chips. It’s going to be a whiny boy summer.

After holding them in my hand and viewing then in natural and artificial light, and consulting with my children... Here's my favorites.

The secondary 1 is just a fantastic 1. The bright blue and grey go so well.

The primary snapper greens go well with the pink (according to my daughter).

The bear claw 5s with the red white and blue stripes are just: Yes.

I'm going with the secondary 25 just because I like the primary less. Even clean, the lime green on the primary is just too muted for my tastes.

The secondary 100s arc yellow POP. Even though the half circles take up most of the color from the side. The blue and yellow on black is just so good.

I like the secondary 500s simply because I like the primary less. The primary stripes do not stand out and the blurple color over powers them.

Of course, secondary 1k bear claw.

The green on the primary 5k work with the grey. The brown on the secondary do not.

The primary 25k is better, again because the secondary does not. It's that muted green color V that kills it for me.

Take away the snapper and this is my lineup as well. Though I won't need the 25k either. The pics of the primary $25 just aren't doing it for me. Damn my samples being delayed.

The primary $25s look amazing after being cleaned and lightly oiled. See the differences in the pics in this post.

The lighter colors are more easily covered up by how dirty they are. Once you've cleaned them, they will NEVER be that dirty again.

Wait, why am I talking these up? You guys are right! The primary $25s are GARBAGE - DO NOT BUY THEM!

 

[JoeBGo]

Secondary $25 would make a great $2

Those are the chips I'd use for a cash set..
I'd relabel the $25 as a frac and the $500 as a $20/$25

It’s worse in person, in my opinion. I just cleaned and oiled my primary $25 and yeah it makes the chip look better, but it still looks like a washed out, pastel chip, compared to the others.

This is my main concern. I love the spot pattern and how it fits with the rest of what I want, but damn the color.

I love me some 8v but I think the lighting in the cleaned up pic makes them look brighter than the dirty picture. If you look at the color of the table surface in the comparison pics you can tell the cleaned up pic has warmer/brighter lighting.

Here it is, cleaned and oiled, with all the others (though the others haven’t been oiled.)

I guess it all depends on what you’re looking for. My other Paulson sets are older sets and none of them have particularly bright colors. So here, I’m looking to put together a little tournament set with some bright, popping colors. So that $25 isn’t for me for this set. But there’s nothing wrong with it.

Thanks!

The secondary $25 colors are so much nicer. Wish the colors of the 2 chips were swapped.

I'm a big fan of 8v but those colors are so dull in between the primary $5 and either one of the $100s. Just doesn't really fit.

I think the impossible to find Twain $25 would be a good fit.

 

[breezywood]

I like the color and pattern of these chips. What do you guys think?

That's likely my pick for the $1-$100. Minus the snapper and high denoms. (For small stakes cash set.)

I didn't ultrasonic any yet, so forgive the novice dirty pictures...

Such a bummer that the $25k has the giant inlay. I don’t understand why they do that.

 

[Windwalker]

I knew that primary $25k looked familiar. (Primary photo borrowed from @Sprouty ‘s post.)

thank god they only did it for the 25k chips. if they started using oversized labels at the $1ks it would have been the biggest poker chip blueball in history.

to allow the font size of the numerals to be much larger with the extra digit vs the 1k and 5k

These guys didn’t take typography classes, obviously
