Two Pair
Maybe we can get an owner to put them on scale and find out the weights and confirm if the labels are textured. @Whitewolf777 @Windwalker are you able to offer any insight?
I can weigh some if needed. Will that help?

I feel like this set is running one of the biggest bluffs on the whole of the forum. Take out the T5k and the T10k and what are you left with? The chipping equivalent of the emperors new clothes.
ESPTs absolutely crush this set. Yeah yeah history blah blah blah.
THEY ARE POOP. IT HAS BEEN SPOKEN.I'm surprised to hear that. Are you sure?
I've never handled them. But from the pictures, the inlays look textured, though I can't tell for sure, without a closeup. And while that's no guarantee of leaded Paulsons, it's a more often than not indicator.
Thanks for that. My total weight, which was a guess, was off by nearly a full chip. I expected most to weigh around 9g and under.The ACF tournament set was produced by GPI circa 2006-2007 on the Paulson THC mold (both SC and LC versions, with some chips half-and-half) using unleaded materials and glossy laminated inlays.
A full eight chip sample set weighs nearly 76g on my scale, putting the average chip weight at around 9.5g. Weighing barrels and racks, the metallic gold 500 chips weigh over 11g, the blue, yellow, and black chips weigh around 10g, with the other chips all closer to 9g (the red 5 being the lightest at well under 9g).
Great chips and great history. Not poop.
Having never really traveled anywhere, this looked as exotic as a James Bond movie to me back in the day. The plaques, the style of dealing, David Benyamine looking like a French endboss. Classic.Back when WPT episodes were good, the ACF ones were always my fave.
That place was such a vibe:
I suspect the market price on these is significantly SIGNIFICANTLY. north of that number.
I guess my brain just can't process poker chip values over a certain amount.
“Market price” is being incorrectly used here. Collectibles with very finite quantities don’t have a “market price” because they’re limited in quantity, and there’re fewer transactions involving them. For most collectibles, there’s just “last sold” or what are known as “comp transactions”. Even in cases like that, unless they’re public auctions, or named prices, it’s just speculation. Like @Jeevansluck’s wildly inaccurate price quote above (although, in fairness, he caveats that it may be incorrect.)
For a true market price to exist, there have to be lots of supply and demand triggers. ESPT is a good example of a chipset with a lot of supply and demand data points, and therefore can conceivably have a market price that’s set. (Around $8-$9 a chip right now.) It’s almost impossible to do that with chips that have very finite numbers, or few supply and demand data points, and are considered (even if only by some) to be “collectible”.
Just my $0.02.
I got that. Was just addressing the difference between “market price” on chips with lots of transactions and one-off collectible transactions. We’re on the same page!fair enough. I revise my statement to say that I think there are dozens of chippers that would pay significantly SIGNIFICANTLY north of $1000/rack for that ACF set, and that the sale price likely was too.
My point was that the $1000/rack guess was not a good one.

It seems to be the case. That is why these went to the bank safe yesterday.
Took these pictures before the transfer, and wanted to share them with the community.
I hope my decision to store this set safely away from my home, offends no one.
Chips are meant to be played with and/or simply enjoyed for their beauty, but these represent too much value to be kept at home for me.
