I was staring at the image above and it reorganized in front of my eyes into this below...

The colors of the edgespots gave it away.
Paulson's numbering system doesn't make sense to me.
But the reorganized 'list' I did made more sense.
The process organizes itself around edgespot sizes and punch patterns. One permutation of edgespot orientation can be used for most sizes up to a point.

Note: edgespot #26 is missing because I 'borrowed' this image from cpiaaq, and he does not have that spot chip sample...)

the white 1/4" spots seems to be the strongest visually, but the 1/8" spot seems to have lent itself well to different permutations due to the smaller size.

It was interesting to see the little 'families' of chips. I like the "V' family. And the pink/lavender/blue family in the upper right corner is a quirky little family too.

The only ones that do not have family members are Paulson 3 and Paulson 6. Their shapes are such that no one can really have more permutations. (Don't think they play well with others. The size of the punches too does not lend itself well to multiples.)

Where am I going with all this, you ask?

Just was wondering what new edgespot punches people can dream up.

New families with progression (multiple 'family' members)

(Note edgespot pattern #26 is missing, because I borrowed this from cpiaaq, and he doesn't have that one.)

#26 is actually a missing member of the "V" family.

Is that a pic from Paulson, or is that someone's collection? I love the sample chips. It's cool to see all of the edgespots put together in 1 picture. You can add the dovetail to the list of the "outcast" chips, unless you're talking about inlay chips only, then you can just add the 1/2 pie.

I like how they're even colour-coded for you.

I think the middle row should be reorganized slightly. There seems to be a "double-1/8" group (#14 - #24 - #32 - #33) that should go together, and the "triple/split-1/8" options might go together, too (#29 - #23 - #31).

And the 3rd row should go: #4 - # 8 - #13 - #21; then #11 - #!5 - #25 - #28.

I see your point, makes perfect sense jdunford.

What's interesting to see is that the last chip in the third row, spot #28 seems to actually be three 1/4" spots ganged together, which explains why my Ambassador Plaza charcoal grey $100 chip looks so freakish in person, it's got HUGE spots to be ganged together like that. Notice there is no other chip with that last bright green spot color in it.
