Look to be cancelled with starbursts

 

[FordPickup92]

Actually at second glance they look like over stamps. Cant really tell what's under the over stamp

Umm, RHC, not THC (if we're going down the whole "truth in advertising" path)

Technically it’ is a top hat and cane mold. THC is really just our short hand for a few molds that many of us prefer.

Depending on your pace, this could be a lifetime plan in six steps.

Step 1) Talk the guy into knocking 65-70% off his asking price.*
Step 2) Buy a functional cash set of minty RHC Paulsons.*
Step 3) Play with them until you want a change, or your stakes increase to the point that you need a snapper.*
Step 4) Spend dozens of hours painstakingly removing the Starburst cancellation.*
Step 5) Play with your new set of less minty denominated cash chips until you get tired of them.*
Step 6) List set in the classifieds, ultimately end up selling them by the barrel.

*Please note, at any time, you may skip to Step 6.

The Five was a giveaway. As far as fives go, it’s one of the best.

I have one of those cases, really nice with the single removable wood chip tray.

Very pricey. Cut it in half and it might be reasonable. The overstamp foil can be removed.

I definitely don't understand the point of this. (And I love cool old cases)

Easier to leave the chip tray on table if there are lots of rebuys in a cash game.

Also a very well built case.
