Paulson - Why DON'T they sell to US???

[Zion007]

When did Paulson STOP selling chips to the public? WHY did they quit doing this and HOW do we get them to make more?

iirc, they were bought out by a french company who made the decision. Don't recall the name of the company offhand though.

I'm a little surprised that with the poker boom, etc they haven't changed that to try to cash in. Maybe someone should start a grassroots campaign, petition or something to get them to consider changing the policy.

i picked some reading material at their booth at the gaming show a few weeks ago. Had a long article about the bud jones and paul-son and the like.

i'm just glad i got my paulson set before they were bought out, which was december 2002.

The previous owners of Paulson, the Endy family, started a new company that makes really great chips called Blue Chip Co. and they make them for the public.

Those chips aren't that great.

My initial reaction to Blue Chips was "not that great," although with some considerable wear and break-in, they aren't bad.

Not my number one choice, but if you're looking for "clay" chips with real multi-color edge spots and some sort of edge molding, they're pretty much the one choice.

Do they have a website? I got a sample of the "fan of cards" set from Apachepokerchips, and they have the seashell imprint (blue chip co?), and they were VERY lightweight. I was NOT impressed with those.

Petition? Sign me up!!!

[toots]

Yup, that's them.

They're a bit light, and the sound is off, but after some wear, they feel more or less like Paul-Son.

Except for being a bit light.

Blue Chip also makes BuyPokerChips and NJ's Nevada clays. Those are my personal favorite for home-use clay chips. I spoke with Mike Endy about a week ago and he did mention that the only difference between chips made for home use and those made for a casino was the weight.
