Blue Chip Co

rosko23 · #1 10-22-2004, 06:40 PM

I know that Blue Chip makes some of BuypokerChips.com and Nevada Jacks Clay chips, but do they have a website or some contact info. I know Italianstang is having problems with them, but I wanted to check out some of their chips. I wanted Paulson chips, but for the money they are charging I might as well as get some of my own customized chips. Or does anyone have any suggestions for high quality clay chips?

Thanks

If they do, let me know. Ask them why they can't replicate their former Paul-Son chips EXACTLY, and why their chips are so much lighter than Paul-Sons.

This is a big deal to us who want the closest thing possible to Paul-Son chips for home games without paying $2 a chip on e-bay.

The chip itself is pretty damn close to a Paul-Son. They will send you sample chips if you ask.

The chip material itself is ***really*** close to the actual clay 'recipe' of Paulson from years past. I don't know exactly when. As far as the weight goes, Blue Chip specifically manufactures their home-use chips lighter than their casino chips. It's not an accident.

Why would they do that? Why don't they have a website yet? When will they do custom chips for us?

Hahahahaha.

My take on Blue Chip is they just don't care that much about private orders. I assume they made a killing by selling Paulson and they're doing Blue Chip just so they don't get bored. They're probably a different weight to avoid conterfitting.

Hey Italianstang... do you have Blue Chips contact info. I am thinking about just ordering the Nevada Jack Clay, since from I have seen and read on Pokerchipreview and other forums they are the closet to the Paulsons. I just received my samples of some Vineyard Samples, but I can't see my self spending $1000 on 500 chips that I can't even use all of them. I will never use a $2 chip so I will be a$$ out and not even have a full 500 chips. Are the NJ's the closet to Paulsons or does Blue Chip make something else. I wouldn't even mind getting some custom chips like 'stang. I just need the info.

Thanks in advance...

No contact info here, but some general info that may be helpful.

If I understand correctly, Blue Chip makes the James Bond & Fan of Cards chips that can be found readily online (the clay ones with the shell, or whatever it is, imprint). They also make the clay chips for buypokerchips.com (I think I read this somewhere). I have samples from buypokerchips and I'd guess it's the same for the others they make. They're nice, a little grittier or rougher feeling than Paulson's and a tad lighter, but still nice.
