Thanks @Oscargambles

Incase I missed it, does anyone know the back story on these? @allforcharity?

Most likely someone in the 90s contacted Paulson. They offered some flexibility and customization to fantasy chips! I believe there was one other fantasy chip that was made into an oversized IHC someone referenced. We have also seen unique inlay denomaintons across other fantasy chips and sometimes additional edge spots via customization direct thru Paulson in the 80/90s.

I have some theories on it, maybe an employee or something. The person I acquired them from was selling them for a friend. They offered me more chips and sent me a picture of these $10 chips. I told them I was interested in them but they haven’t gotten back to me. I’m not sure what these are but I’ve never seen them before. The Chipguide.com shows some $1 chips that are similar…

I bet you Josh stays up thinking of how he should have just paid the little extra to get his chips on THC with shaped and textured inlays. Because if they did that Josh would be LOADED!

 

[sheikh617]

Had these made by another member! He crushed it, these came out great! Now a got a nice carrier for my oversized chips that were just hanging out on a cabinet lol

Well here I was all excited about my newly labeled $500s and I’m following that post above...

Thanks to @dickthebaker for some perfectly sized glossy inlay replacements.

Alt version.

Embrace it! Any other choice leads to misery. And FOMO.

Thanks @Gear and @Wifey ! Absolutely incredible work on these chips. So excited to be finished with these two sets.
And thanks for the sample set!! The folks in Colorado are in for a treat!

Similar to the high denom Beaver chips. 43mm but in recognizable Paulson fantasy colours and patterns.

A few items showed up while I was away at work.

A few Vegas ones for that particular part of my collection (yeah, a couple of the new hot-stamps and an Icon abomination). I'm such a completeist and borderline OCD when I start a collection like that, it usualy winds up being my undoing. I actually don't hate the NYNY chip. For a place with no poker room and (AFAICT) no real use for the $1s outside maybe Sic-Bo (only place I saw it in use last time I was there ages ago) or Pai-Gow, it's mostly functional and non-offensive.

The Hacienda $25 on the other hand, ooh-la-la. I had this in my watch list for a while and the seller made an offer to me that was below book price and below what I had seen it go for in recent months, so I had to jump at that chance. Just a beautiful old chip from an historic and long gone property on the south end of the Strip.

There are more in-transit, so additional goodies for here before too long. I swear, bad weather nights at the observatory have a way of eating into my wallet. I should probably watch more YouTube or anime to help save some of my bankroll on nights like that.

Got some new Bullets cards, they are called "Paulie design". Pips remind me a bit of Faded Spades. Overall nice cards, same stock as the other Bullets.

And I got myself a really nice wooden Piatnik card box

Been wondering about these. Design is appealing but where would you place them on the stiffness scale?

According to the Redneck Database they are on the stiffer side. Imo they have a kind of unique "leathery" feel which I like a lot. I can bring a setup to the meetup. You choose: Bridge standard or Poker jumbo.
