Wanted My first set of Paulson's (1 Viewer)

[shawn15p]

Who wants to help me pop my Paulson cherry ?!?!?!

Wish list
-Cash set that can accommodate .25/.50 up to 1/2 if possible (500-800 chips)
-Moderately priced, meaning I am not looking to spend $3 a chip
-Does not have to be minty fresh but prefer them not to look beat up either
-Some sets that catch my eye to give an idea of taste
-Bennys
-Terribles
-WTH&C
-GCOP

I understand those sets don't meet the criteria but just giving some examples of sets I like in terms of aesthetics

Anyone have suggestions or maybe something they would be willing to part with to help a fellow wanna be chipper ??

Good luck. You know what they say. Once you pop, the fun dont stop.

I have a set of 500 Garden City chips that's available...

200x $.25 hot stamps
200x $1
80x $5
20x $20

Price is $360 out the door. One rack of $1's is in pretty good shape; the other is pretty rounded. The fracs are mostly all in good shape (and where the vast majority of the set's value is derived from). The $5's are pretty decent; the $20's are fairly worn, but still serviceable.

This is a great deal! I would take it but I'm going to get the Paulson National Poker Series chips from another thread.

I know beggars can't be choosers.......but I am not a fan of the giant inlays on the 5's and 20's

No worries, mate. They're not for everyone. GL w/your search!

Given your criteria in the OP, the Garden City chips are about the best deal you're ever gonna get. All of my 25c-based Paulson cash sets are in the $$$ range. Fracs are not cheap, and spotted THC chips in good condition are not cheap either -- combine the two into a single casino set and you're typically talking big bucks.

If I were in your shoes, I'd jump on those and then replace the $5 chips with something else you like when it pops up on the market.

The Garden City set has sold. Thanks for the nod, though!
