Oiling NEW Paulsons. (1 Viewer)

[MatB]

Just my opinion, but it think oiling chips should be reserved for older, worn, Ultrasonic cleaned chips. Or personal new custom CPC sets.

Personally its tilting to see oiled new Paulsons. Also i think it devalues them.
is it just me?

( yup this is my 'old man yells at cloud' moment )

Yeah but did you see how good those Silver Star fives looked?

I agree completely but you’re still an old man yelling at clouds.

Looks nice, but I dont think i'd classify those as new.

 

[Perthmike]

Yeah those are old enough that they probably do with an oil

Yep definitely not new.

A few more racks cleaned and oiled

Do these qualify as new?

I personally wouldn’t oil any new Paulsons like the boat chips, but will oil all the things when it comes to anything else.

^^ this ^^

read this as "Ogling New Paulsons". yes, yes I do.

 

[SiouxperStack]

what about the Copa Casino 5's? old chips but look to be uncirculated.

 

[RocAFella1]

Lightly. Shuffling mint Horseshoe $100s created black dust and made them look dirty immediately.

Isn't this more a matter of opinion and personal preference over right or wrong...?

Oiling new Paulson solids can help blend color inconsistencies. Helps a lot on darker colors like green, charcoal, and black.

100% but always fun to debate

Never mind, he has spoken.

Oil new Paulsons if you want. It won't hurt.

But does it hurt their resale value?

Nah, so long as there's no inlay damage. Can always be cleaned if desired. Underlying chip isn't changed.

Once oiled i don't think you can call them mint uncirculated either though.

 

[BGinGA]

Sure you can. "Oiled Mint Uncirculated Paulsons".

 

[MatB]

LOL.. so you recreated 10 years of hooker juice in one oiling session. And you want to keep 'mint' in the description?

No No No !

 

[grantc54]

I said no and haven't oiled my Jack's, but AS $25 really pop after being oiled.

 

[allforcharity]

Once you've played with them you can't say that, either.

If you've got Mint chips that you never want to play with and will sell them in the future, then don't oil them. But I thought that 90% of the point of this collecting was to get them into play, and not necessarily for investment purposes.

True, any chips i own are destined to hit the felt. So they will at some point possibly be 'new, played with XX times' or "very good"

The devaluing part come for me is if a rack is listed as new uncirculated and another is new uncirculated but oiled. I know which id rather pay more money for.

 

[crussader]

I voted no, as I have always been opposed to oiling Paulsons. I don't like the feel of the oiled chips as opposed to their natural condition.

However, I do now have a dilemma. I have a bunch of uncirculated Dunes $25s that have been sitting on the shelf for decades. They look great but they also look very very dry. I am concerned that they might be brittle, and will have problems when I put them in play. I really don't want to oil them, but I am thinking it might be necessary. Anybody know if my concerns are founded?

Very founded

 

[crussader]

So you're saying I better oil them before putting them into play?

Sorry, I was just kidding about it being a concern you had them on a shelf unplayed for decades

I couldn’t say for sure but I have heard people who noted dry chips cracking falling from table height though who knows if that was the primary cause
