Yes, another eBay tool. Is this the same guy as before?

These are even rarer than Paulson

That's so sad. Ebay is the devil.

I'm in no way affiliated with this guy, but Bud Jones did have this particular mold/chip available. I have some Binion's Horseshoe Satellite chips that are the same mold as these and they are Bud Jones chips. Definitely not the most enticing of all Bud Jones molds/chips...I definitely wouldn't go paying a premium for this mix of casino/poker and roulette chips, that's for sure!

As dolomite128 said, Bud Jones really did have that design before it got heisted by the Chinese. I have one of the Chinese copies sitting on my desk (came in a chip case) and the suit pattern is entirely different. On the Chinese chips the suits match each other on the opposite site, i.e. diamond to diamond, heart to heart, etc. The chip pattern on the eBay photo does seem to match that of the Bud Jones Suits pattern of spade to diamond and club to heart. Since dolomite128 mentioned Binion's, here's a link that shows the Bud Jones NCV chips that were used at the Horseshoe

Who knows? The guy's story might even be true but I don't think I will put a bid for the set.

Thanks for the education all about real Bud Jones chips compared to the cheapo 11.5g ones.

It's a shame that this design was stolen. I can't imagine playing with these chips without thinking of it as a cheap 11.5g design.

Yeah, I may have jumped the gun on this one. I didn't really look at the listing too closely before posting the link.

I was just thinking it was the same guy who had listed 11.5 suited chips as Paulson clays.
