nice grab! if they weren't overstamps i would have been bidding against you.
I think I lucked out there because I hadn't noticed the picture of the overstamped chip in the listing until after I paid, but once they were delivered I looked through them all and the overstamped one pictured was actually the only one in the rack - no clue why.

nice, wanna sell them?

i kid, i own a set of 650+ starbursts and have zero use for them other than the occasional game of sequence and saving them from all the murderers around here. :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Haha. Well, if you ever want to give them a good home, please keep me in mind! Though I prefer the blaze colors, I don't discriminate and would be interested in barrels or racks of any color!

Wait, what?

I asked the seller about overstamps and he told me "51 are overstamped and 49 are not", so I passed on them (twice!). Oh well.

Congratulations on your purchase!

Ha, oh no! Yeah that's strange - I checked all 100 of them after I realized from the images - but eureka! just the one.

N00b question here. What is an overstamp and how can I tell? I'm guessing the one in the middle that looks messed up, but why was that done? Or is it a mistake?

The "starburst" stamp is applied to cancel the original stamp. Sold as generic chips with the starburst alone and as an overstamp back when Paulson sold direct.

Top middle is a clean starburst for comparison. (Ignore the one below it in the center column.) The outer ones are overstamps. If you look, you can see there was another stamp beneath it.
