I’m regretfully selling over 2,200 Paulson THC chips, almost all of them Starbursts, in anticipation of a big relabeling project for my remaining tourney and cash sets. In descending order of quantity, I have the following available... Prices (which average less than $1.50/chip across the sale) do not include shipping:
  • 142 Radiant RedLot A — $250 — Excellent, easily the hottest color I’ve owned. Lightly oiled.
  • 134 Mauve Lot A — $150 —Excellent condition, LCVs. Color is consistent, somewhat browner than small lot of SCVs below.
  • 93 Metallic Gold — $150 — Good-to-excellent condition. About 20% show strange pitting on rolling edge. See discussion at this link
  • 100 Light Blue — Lot B — $95 — Good condition, but with faded/silvered hot stamps
  • 100 Fuschia “Sam’s Town” NCVs — $100 — Good condition, but hotstamps are faded in many places. Bought because of my first name.
  • 60 Fuschia — $60 —Good-to-excellent condition, some faded stamps and color variation as is common with Fuschias.
  • 80 Grape — $140 — Near-mint, very sharp, oiled. Would make a great substitute for black chips in a cash/tourney set
  • 60 Radiant RedLot B — $90 — Good condition, but faded/silvered hotstamps
  • 65 Munzell Green — $30 — Fair condition, rounded edges, faded stamps
  • 62 Mauve SCVLot B — $80 — Excellent condition, SCVs, deeper/more lavender color than LCVs above. Includes 12 overstamped chips.
  • 25 Mustard — $35 — Excellent condition.
  • 20 Royal Red — $35 — Near-mint condition.
  • 20 Lilac — $25 — Good condition, some color variation.
  • 19 Grey — $30 — Near-mint, SCVs.
  • 16 Dark Green — $10 — Fair condition, rounded edges and faded stamps.
  • Plus: “Stray” lot of 30 mixed colors — $12 — Defective, overstamped, or just random chips. Wanting to break apart a THC solid and see what’s inside? Make a dealer button? A necklace for your Significant Other who loves to complain about your chipping habit? The possibilities are endless.

— IMPORTANT SALE NOTES —

SHIPPING will be whatever the USPS demands: Generally about $8 for quantities of a rack or less, $12-$15 for up to four racks, TBA for larger shipments. I would much prefer to ship within the U.S., but will consider reasonable overseas transactions with the understanding that I can’t be responsible for how foreign countries may treat or tax such shipments.

DIBS/CLAIMS: If you have a serious interest in any of these, please indicate so in the thread, then PM me with any follow-up questions to confirm the sale. send detailed photos, or ask in the threads below.

PRICES have been set generally below what you see on eBay to give PCF chippers a fair shake.These have been priced between 0.50-$2 per chip depending on the scarcity of the color, quantity of the lots, and condition of the chips. Given the large number of lots may not have much time/energy for lengthy negotiations, but will entertain offers.

SPLITS are discouraged, except for lots with 200+ chips, in which case I will consider splitting them into two racks at a $10 premium (i.e. if 200 is listed at $300, I would sell a rack of 100 for $160).

TRADE OFFERS will be considered instead of sales. I am not looking for much now, but could use (A) Black or Pink THCs for milling project or (B) various PCRs.

COLORS have been ascertained to the best of my ability using at least two Paulson sample sets. Please as always note that many Paulson colors are tricky, and batches of the same color chip can vary. I can’t guarantee colors 100%, but am willing to take additional pics for anyone with serious interest and work with you to find good matches.

CONDITION is listed in four main categories (fair, good, excellent, near-mint). I do not describe any of these as true “mint” only because they all have been handled at least once... “Near-mint” means the edges and stamps are excellent. Most of these I categorize as “very good,” which means that the edges and stamps are in generally high condition, with minimal wear. Additional notes are added where necessary.

Thanks all for your interest and help over the past couple years in assemlbing my collections. It will be hard to part with many of these!

FWIW the real sleeper item in this sale are the Grapes.

Paulson really should have called this color Black Raspberry... It’s a very dark and rich purple, and these chips are really in sharp condition. I haven’t seen the color up for sale or even discussed much, but it’s a stunner. In a cash set, they would make a great substitute for black 100s.
 
BTW, whatever doesn’t sell here in the next few days is going on eBay at prices set to throw into relief the sellers who seem to think that every Starburst is worth $3-$8/chip.
 
I’m going to start moving the remaining chips here to eBay in Thursday/Friday... Let me know soon if you want any lots at these prices, because they will likely get marked up for eBay. Thanks.
 
Lavenders sold. Whites sold. Strong interest in some other colors. Closing this around 2 pm.
