Thank ya.
The Emerald Bay Matsuis will be about $100 over for the breakdown you want, but they are really nice, basically new or unused, and there have been several options for sale over the last two weeks.
If looking for Paulson’s, The Chip Room sale is not a viable option for you given your budget. Nor is the ongoing CPE offering. You’ll be at least 3/5 of the way through your budget with just the $1s.
Best bet if you want Paulson’s will be to wait for a well used set to appear in the classifieds. Basically everyone on here has more wisdom on this than me, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think you’ll be pressed to find a set of Paulson’s you want for the $1/chip budget you’ve currently set for yourself.
Post a “Wanted” ad and see what pops!
