This is just a thought exercise and for my own curiosity.
The desire amongst Chipoholics for crispy Paulsons does not seem like it will ever abate. Hey, I'm right there with you. We've all seen the amounts that NAGB, leaded old school, and even RHC can command, and all of this for definitively not custom chips. Now I know being and old dude that I've harped on and on about "back in the day we could get semi custom Paulsons just by walking into a 7-11 and they cost .25/chip, etc. etc." but I wonder would anybody here pay, say, $3.83/chip if you could get semi custom Paulsons like in the olden days. That is you could get your own inlay or hot stamp put on a chip from a restricted selection of spotted patterns that were previously available for the home market? THC mold but not leaded, obviously.
BTW I came up with the $3.83 amount being the most expensive mold/Level 5 spot that CPC offers which would seem to be the most direct competition. Not apples to apples but it approximates the most complex pattern from the older Paulson offerings. I have no earthly idea what Paulsons actually cost.
Say this offerings were restricted to the following. This is not all of the old school patterns but there's at least 3 of each color. A couple of the patterns may actually be proprietary to an offering from a vendor from years ago, but that's not that important to this experiment.
