Starbursts on the diamond mold (1 Viewer)

[superchromix]

I recently picked up a set of starbursts and among ~1000 chips were a couple barrels of chips on the diamond mold. This surprised me - I didn’t realize Paulson ever made chips for the home market on this mold. Does anyone know the history on these?

Several threads over the years. Yes Paulson definitely made them and sold in retail store. They are nice but super diamond chips kind of ruin them for me. I had a set years ago.

I have one orange Starburst on a diamond mold. Had it mixed in with my THCs until I picked up on it.

I'm shuffling a stack of these as we speak. Feel and handle like paulsons th &C, especially when they are minty fresh. But I agree that trying to pick them out of a grainy picture on an eBay sale is almost impossible,.

They are genuine. They seem much harder to find in quantity and good condition. I recently acquired 98 Red chips in fair condition.

Nah—I had asked super if he wanted to part with those odd barrels a while ago.
Genuinely.

Some of the best info we got on the diamond mold Paulsons came from the Mike Endy on CT in my thread about some hot-stamped chips my mom bought in the 70s/80s. https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/long-lost-chips-found.15312/

Sorry, I didn’t get the gist of your message. Those chips are part of a set, and I’m not planning on splitting it up at the moment. Cheers.
