Anyone know of Paulson ever added matal flakes to their chips? Here's an auction that would indicate so: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6199604180.

I love how the selling price is $2000, but the seller lists as "an option" the brand new chips racks for $1.00 a piece. What, couldn't throw $5 worth of racks in for free on a $2000 sale?

Hey Kalimba-


I know Paulson added flecks to some chips. My $25 New Sonny's chips have the flecking in it. I don't think it was common for them, but along with the "Fevis" chips that makes two at least.

I noticed those yesterday... I don’t really like the colors but the chips are obviously top notch. As for the flakes, I guess if I'm completely honest I don’t know for a fact that they add flakes but I'm sure you'll be surprised to know that BlueChip does. And yes, as the seller states it’s only and option for casinos... Fortunately Dave sent me a sample with the flakes so I have one... Anyway, without question they're the real deal - if thats what you're getting at.

I've seen Paulsons with flakes b4 too.

Not in the ASM style, but more of a silvery metalic flake on the face of the chips.

I guess it's more for decoration than for adding weight in the Paulson's case.

The VERY used Paulson's that my local card room uses for tournaments definately have metal flaking.

I have a bunch of Paulson samples, and there are at least 2 kinds of metal flakes used in their chips. One is larger and silver, like glitter almost. The second is finer and gold colored (brass, probably). I can post pics if needed, i'm feelin lazy right now though

I would be interested to see those pics... I've seen Paulsons w/ brass flakes - which I assumed hearkened back to the time when ASM made the early Paulson chips...
