What inlay size is that? It’s not giant, but it’s too big to be grand. Might be a 41mm rhc I guess.
Nothing like taking a glorious 8V chip and transforming it into an ugly 8-trapezoid monstrosity....Although they’re not as yuge as the PNY inlays, they’re still too big for people to see what the base color is on this should be glorious chip:

I don’t love the design, but it’s not the worst ever. I’ll give it a 3, but that’s rounding up.
Imo this is another inlay, like the pnys, that's pretty weird and shoudn't work, but does.
There is a reason these are a grail set for many, and the inlay is a big part of it.
Unique and awesome.
I concur with this sentiment. PNY innocent of all charges. Olivia guilty... take her down to the cells to await sentencingIt's funny, I absolutely love the PNYs (despite all the reasons people mention why they suck), but I find the Olivia's hideous in every way. To each their own!
I'd be concerned my hand would burst into flames. Certainly all of my other Paulsons would be giving me glaring looks.You gotta hold them in your hand
I agree that the polls are flawed.Guaranteed if these were readily available the 51 people who voted 1 or 2 could not buy these fast enough. These polls seem flawed for that reason. But the threads are fun.
Same with RHC's many bash them but yet when a big sale happens they sell out that day.
Well the real proof is in the huge popularity of the chip sales of which many are indeed RHC.I agree that the polls are flawed.
I might be an outlier, but I wouldn’t buy these chips if they were available. Unless they were really cheap, and then I’d only be buying them because it would feel stupid not to. Like the recent RHC Lady Luck chip sale - I bought some because it seemed like a no-brainer to buy mint paulsons that included fracs.
A month later, I sold them at a slight loss.
Again, the polls are flawed, for sure.
But 1) I’m sure there’s plenty of other guys who want nothing to do with RHCs, especially RHCs with big inlays, and
2) I bet there are plenty of people who would have killed for Olivia’s or Ritz ten years ago, whose tastes have changed (refined?)
I owned about 1500 all together at one time back in the CT days to build my 50c rackI'd be concerned my hand would burst into flames. Certainly all of my other Paulsons would be giving me glaring looks.
Gotta wonder if the Paulson 'artistic' staff drew that up. Free advertising....
Other than size, I don't particularly find the inlays ugly, just insulting. It's the perfect design for those horrific PAULSON CHIPS mold chips.
The last RHC chips I purchased were Oak Trees, many years ago (and long since gone). No Horseshoes (Cleveland or Cincinnati), no Jacks, no Roadhouse, no Lady Luck, nada RHC chips of any kind whatsoever -- I practice what I preach. And I wouldn't buy these either, at any price.
32 current sets, and zero RHC chips. Ymmv.
