What should I do to keep my mint Paulson's from warping. Is there anything they need temperature or humidity wise? Does it matter of they're in a rack or a case or something else?
 
I have a small collection but some chips have been around for a while and are dirty, any advise on how to clean them? Like water with very little soap or some kind of specific oil? thanks...

Several good threads on cleaning but yes...dawn soap and a toothbrush can do a lot.
Several good threads on oiling as well...definitely read some of them before trying or you may be very unhappy with the results!
 
Thanks guys, that is great info. I am going to read both blogs thoroughly and I will soon try to give my chips that shiny look back. Will probably start with a few other chip first though, to see if I understood the process.. LOL
Appreciate the help!!!!!

Chipco racks will keep paulsons more snug than others. I have all my paulsons in them and are considering replacing all my other racks with them.

Strange, this has not been my experience at all. The 24010 are more snug. One warped chip and you can't fit a barrel anymore. I find the ChipCos are a little more forgiving for this.
 
Where can I find these racks you are talking about? Living in Italy, most USA based websites do not sell oversees. Tried amazon and eBay but can't find them.... any suggestions? thanks

Same here. I use my Paulson racks to judge just how flat my chips are...the entire barrel has to be pretty darn flat to fit!
 
Having purchased a bunch of sets from randos on the internet here is what I've found. There are far fewer warping issues from the people who stored them in briefcase style cases. My theory is that they were more likely stored with the briefcase in a vertical position, ie. the chips were stacked on top of each other, preventing warping issues even if humidity and temperature weren't optimal. The ones stored in wooden boxes/casino racks tended to have more warping issues.

That said, I keep mine in a hodgepodge of different storage mostly due to space. I'm trying to get enough matsui/bj/b&g racks with lids for all my paulsons, so they aren't weight bearing anymore.

That makes a lot of sense....
