Pharaoh's Club Paulson chips - Pre-Order Thread

[jojobinks]

that's about how dirty my orange and white are. i've had them 2 weeks, and i've cleaned them once already b/c of this. i shuffle them several hours a day.

Re: the blue vs white $1 chip I'm not sure making 4 chips instead of 2(two blue and two white) is a feasable solution(maybe increased buys would offset costs?)- it seems like something to consider.

Since Ten didn't comment on what I said earlier, by having the flexibility of a couple variants of a couple denoms would make the decisions for people a little easier. You know ahead of time how much you need of each variants. Since you're stuck with 7 chip colors, by changing the value of a couple inlays for certain chips can easily be made into a cash game set and a tourney set.

Wow! That is amazing. I can't believe how dirty those are! Do they seem to be wearing quickly? That seems very alarming.

Are you sure you didn't take a crayon to those? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Just kidding.

Yeah, I can see how the new Paulson takes quite a bit more marking than the old (Le Cove) Paulson. I wonder why, maybe different material? It's a WORLD of difference, so it has to be something...

about that: mine looked like that at first, but i think it's b/c i shook all my clay samples (25 or so) around in a pillowcase to break them in. after cleaning it the first time, i've mostly shuffled them, and it has none of those marks. just dirt.

I've had my samples a little over a week and the white and orange look similar...although not quite as scuffed. I know chips will get dirty with use but the white and orange Paulsons crapped up quickly. Most of it isn't dirt either. It other chips leaving color scuff marks. Why do the new Paulsons seem different than other Paulsons? Is it my imagination?

Ok, that makes sense. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] That would do it. That can't really be used as a case against the white chips then. (not that you were)

This is one of the reasons I like the chipco chips. I like the clay but over time mine have rounded or been involved in some major alcohol abuse (massive amounts of beer spilt on the table and chips). My chipco’s seem to take a little more abuse (I have home games every other week).

I really like the design though. Good work Ten

I've had the exact same experience -- my samples got pretty dirty (no game use) with just a little shuffling over a week or so. I don't have a lot of experience w/ older Paulsons however, so maybe this is just what you get w/ chips that have this kind of feel. I can't decide if this is a huge problem for me or not.

So maybe they just mark each other up when they're new, and once they're broken in, the colors don't rub off as easily? It also just might be the fact that we're all shuffling the white chips with all the different color samples, including black and green. I can't remember the last I shuffled white chips with black and green ones in the casino. Maybe next time I'm in the card room I'll try to mark up the whites with the reds, greens, and blacks.
