just chips only - set is mainly for me to look at and play occasionally
ty! i'm looking for 1k chips or close to that count so it looks cool in the acrylic trays and handle case.
If your average cost is looking to be no more than $3/chip, you can get a really nice
CPC custom set with your own inlay design, colors, spot patterns, etc.
If you're dead set on Paulson, The Chip Room is overdue for another sale. The person behind it buys out casino chips from rebranded or closed down casinos and resells here. The casino secondary chips are usually dead mint and don't have any game play on them at all. If you look around the classifieds section here, many
RHC molded Paulson sets have been sitting there for days. If your game uses fracs however, you may need to relabel other chips for use as most casinos don't have a ton of fracs. Relabeling is the best and cheapest way.
If you want the creme de la creme (IMO)
THC molded Paulsons, the sales ad I tagged you in is about the best you can do and may come in just under your budget, if not just slightly more, and it's a ready made single table cash set out of the box, no relabels necessary.
I wouldn't get fixated on having a ton of chips in the dealer tray to make it look cool. Buy what's right for your game. 600 chips is more than enough for one full ring, 10 person table. 1000 covers two tables easily.
