Sold PRICE REDUCED - Paulson Top Hat and Cane "Pharaoh's" - 1,000 piece set - $4,000 (1 Viewer)

For Sale: set of 1,000 Paulson Top Hat and Cane “Pharaoh's” now $4500 $4,000. I’ll cover shipping and fees at paypal goods and services for escrow. Also open to alternative escrow from trusted member if it makes more sense (additional shipping fees to be paid by buyer).

Everything is in mint or close to mint condition, no rounding on any of the chips. A few of the green and black barrels have been shuffled, but chips were not used for regular games. Yellows and purples barely handled at all, set still smells like new clay. Slight damage to one of the plastic racks and small crack in carrying case from shipping shown in photo below.

Purchased from Ultra Poker Supply in 2006;
Green x 250
Black x 400
Purple x 200
Yellow x 150

I’m a new member to PCD and don’t have site user history, but was told by r/poker on reddit that this was the best place to find a buyer for these. Let me know if you have any questions.

Love these chips - GLWS! Pharaoh was first set for me, joined recently. I joined “just to finish that set.” lol.

Your ocd is showing. Hehe

I'm willing to assist if anyone wants to go this route.

I didn't think much of it when i first saw the post, but what does this mean exactly?

Well, the OP offered...

Also open to alternative escrow from trusted member if it makes more sense.

And I said I would assist with that. That is, if anyone wanted to use a trusted member as escrow.

Escrow is a service where a third party would hold the funds for the buyer and seller until the goods are delivered.

In this case, the buyer would send the money to me first. I would hold the money on behalf of the seller.
Then the seller would ship the chips to the buyer.
After the the chips are delivered, I send the money to the seller.
The seller ends up with the money, the buyer ends up with the chips. Process complete.

If the seller never sends the chips, I would simply send the money back to the buyer.

Escrow works when both the buyer and the seller trust the person acting as escrow, but the buyer and seller don't necessarily trust each other.

Welcome to the community. I own a set of these Paulson Pharaohs and so would be interested in a barrel or two if the set is split. GLWS.

Cool, if they get split I’ll repost. Thanks for your interest. Out of curiosity, what are the more desirable denominations?

This a serious collection! Love the pharaohs 5k and 25k squares! Do those ever come up for sale on here?

Came here to sell chips, have a feeling I’m gonna end up buying some instead ‍

Ohhhhhh nice set. GLWS

They do come up from time to time, but they seem to be the most scarce. Other people might also sell the Chipco Egyptian plaques. These pair really nicely with the pharaoh theme but they are not technically paulson plaques.

Other chippers might have a different take but I'd say $0.25 (blue) pharoahs seem to be the least common then the $1,000 then the $500 or $100. The $25 are the most common (though still rarish) because paulson would have made plenty of these to go with both the T25 tournament sets and the cash sets from $0.25 to $25. I think $1's and $5s would be in the same boat as the $500/$100.

Paulson also made these same chips without denominations on them. The "NCV" ones don't come up too too often either. But the rarest of all are the paulson pharaohs on the card pips mold:

They look like this:

That is the exact chip that I've been after for a while now - the green NCV Pharaoh's chip on the 4-Pips mold. A while back a fellow PCFer hooked me up with most of a sample set of these but he had lost his green chip... so I'm one chip short of a complete sample set. One lowly little chip is driving me crazy. The darn thing has become my white whale. LOL!

If any of you would be interested in a smaller quantity and not the entire set, DM me the pieces you would want. Considering breaking up the set if it might be the best way to rehome.

This can be perfectly summed up in two words:

Now splitting.

Thank you sir! Still hoping for a full set offer, but also making a list of interested parties for the split if that doesn’t happen by November 7th.

 

[maxim_666666]

I had a set of these...
Then I sold it...
Then I regretted it...
And bought them again...

Now splitting, larger lots take priority. Dibs full set to take it all.

Also, split requests are usually handled in public on this thread. It helps other people know what's left and where they stand, etc.
But this is your sale, so if you want split requests in PMs only, that's fine too.

If I split it up I’m definitely saving some of them!
