Paulson Classic Set Top Hat & Cane - 476 chips - advise where to next (3 Viewers)

[ares_exe]

Hi guys

I picked up this set recently and am looking for some advice on the best next step options:

Here is the inventory for the set 476 chips

$1 150
$5 177
$25 75
$100 50
$500 24

I would say wear is normal, not too much. Whites show a little bit of dirt.

Few questions for people that know better:

1. what is the exact model (I see there's 2 chips design with the same name - unless I am missing something)
2. best way to wash (without damaging) and maintain these chips (I know there's dedicated sections on this forum - just high level)
3. what is the value of this set on the market
4. is this considered RHC mold
5. what chance do I have to find up to 500 more chips to complete a 800 to 1000 total set
6. what would be a good frac option to go with these chips

Thank you in advance to all of you!

1. Paulson Classic (not top hat and cane, that is different set and mold)
2. Ultrasonic or soap and water
3. $2-$3 a chip
4. No. It is Paulson house mold
5. Very good
6. Maybe a solid starburst or CDI 05 uses same mold so maybe the CDI05 $1 or 1k or one of the pharoahs using that mold

The $10 chips from this set are blue and would work well if you either use labels directly on them, or remove the $10 inlay and place the label in the recess.
Here is an example using @Gear labels:

Thank you for getting back to me

1. Got confused on that, since similar chips are listed on eBay under "Paulson Classic Top Hat & Cane".
2. that should not damage existing label I assume
5. How do you recommend I go about it? List on "wanted" ? I don't think I've seen them listed much on marketplace

That's a great idea too, did not consider that.

1. eBay sellers often are confused or want to drive more traffic to their listing by using those key words
2. Will be fine either way
5. Yes, there is one guy here selling some for way too much which is why he has not sold them in over a year, avoid him.

Pharoahs frac or 1k could work for you:

And contrary to what you may see out there, I wouldn't spend more than $3 each or so for the $10 chips, even in great condition.

The eBay prices are just crazy!

needed this encouragement

Yeah, watch out for this guy...

National Poker Series NPS also used that mold. This would be a killer frac:

And a few of the others could work

You have any for sale?

Also, using hot stamps for fracs is a great way of differentiating them from $ chips, and super cool imho.

No, sorry.
