Wow here's the exact reason I try and steer clear of white $1 chips. Great experiment here.
not yet. I willSo did you try the wash/rinse chip method?
CorrectAwesome. So, this means nobody wants the white $1 chips anymore from Jim's sale tomorrow, right?
Well wash ur hands before you shuffle the washer chipsDidn't get any shuffling done today, but I'm not done. I'll shuffle some more and throw in a stack of washed chips, but I definitely won't be shuffling with gloves.
1. I don't have any gloves.
2. I wouldn't want to shuffle with gloves on anyway.
3. Nobody in the real world is going to be shuffling with gloves on, so it's kinda moot. If you want to believe I'm doing this with dirty hands, oh well.
idk mine still look white, think we need to call paulson and have them make us new chips to replace all these color transfer lolAlright, here’s a stack that was scrubbed with soap and water and dried, and shuffled 1,000 times, as suggested by @davin
I don’t notice a difference.

I took two mint 6-stacks of Lady Luck Caruthersville $1s. One stack I left as is - the other stack I oiled.
I used 6-stacks just because they’re quicker for me to shuffle. I can shuffle a stack of 6 one hundred times, in about 3 minutes - it takes me almost twice as long to do that with a stack of ten.
So, I shuffled each stack 1,000 times. I expected the oiled chips would fare better, and I’d end up oiling all my chips. So far, no.
I’ll continue this - I’ll get another thousand shuffles on each stack and see how they look. And though they look similar, honestly, I think the oiled stack transferred color a bit more than the unoiled.
Here you go:

It's color transfer from the brown spotsGood god, what are you using, linseed oil? I’ve never seen white chips go so yellow from one oiling.
I'm sure when washed with a magic eraser it comes offYeah, I got that... But if it is just surface particles from the spots mixed with mineral oil/hot dog grease, shouldn’t it be removable? Is the suggestion that these have been permanently stained?
Yeah I think this is the case as well, which is why I never oil PaulsonsInteresting. I haven’t had this issue with other new/vg RHCs.
I wonder if over time the issue could settle down, as the chips cure (for lack of a more scientific term) and loose surface particles lessen through wear. My sense would be to not oil them right away, give them some time to wear down more, then try various cleaning methods and only oil once things settle down. It kind of looks like the oil may be spreading fine brown particles and leading to more than the usual discoloration. Just speculating.
I just oiled my CPC chips, Second time since I got them a year ago. A lot of the body color transfers to the cloth. These chips are still un-felted tooIt seems that CPC is the answer to this issue

Never thought of that! Thanks! Unfortunately most of the regulars have been tied up with work, kids, and such. I'm single and have my own business so I have more time.Try playing.
