Pictures of my privates...

...thought that would grab your attention. Enjoy!


Did anybody receive their chips in the GPI box? I did. There is a sticker on the box that reads made in mexico. I thought GPI made paulson chips in the USA. Do they make the home market chips in Mexico and the casino chips in the states? It was kind of disappointing to see that.

Paulson makes all their clay chips in Mexico, as well as their cards, layouts, etc. These latest inlays/hotstamps are the same as casino chips, made with the same materials, same equipment, same people.

They moved the plant from Vegas a number of years ago (I think 6-8?). Last I talked with them, they finish their Bud Jones chips in Vegas and do a few other things there, but most of their North American work is in Mexico.

There's also powdered lead in the chips to give them added weight.

I plan on using the 25's 1's and 5's for cash games. I don't really plan on using the 500's and 1000's. I just really liked the colors and design so i added them to my order. I wasn't really a fan of the 100's and the non-denom chip's...if i do eventually add to this set i plan on adding the 100's. That way i can play a tournament with the 25's and color up with the 100's

Re: Pictures of my privates...

These chips are awesome. Need to get some pix taken and posted.
On a side note, has anyone noticed that the insets (hotstamp area) is deeper on one side than the other? The bottom right picture above is a good representation. I've noticed this the most on the yellow-1000. Some appear to have no inset at all.

Note*** I posted this comment in another thread and it received no comment so I thought I'd comment again.

Re: Pictures of my privates...

I saw your comment in the other thread and checked mine, but didn't really notice a difference. Then again, I didn't buy any 1000s...

I did, however, try stacking them in stacks of 40 because someone said they wobbled, and boy do they wobble. I noticed that, when in the case, if you push on the bottom of a whole row of chips (so that the chip case is bracing the top of the row), they have this springy/spongy effect as a whole, meaning they are slightly warped. So I jammed them in as tight as I could possibly fit them in the rows of my 750 mahogany case to try to flatten them out.
