Love the videos. Too bad they don't come in feel-o-vision. A question: The weights and diameters seemed to vary quite a bit. Is this common with other brands of chips too?

That is quite common and these chips are no worse than other poker chips that I have reviewed.

Good luck, nutn

A buck a chip seems expensive for that quality of chip...  And tho I could probably live with the color similarities between 5/50,000 and 25/25,000 those 1000 and 5000 chips are too close, at least as shown by the camera.

nutN should have a annual open house where you can go to his house and touch and feel all his samples.

Man.  I'm really not a fan of a product that tries to look exactly like another product but is inferior to it.  What is with the too-identical logo on the chip?

Not the full 14 minutes.  Bravo to you if you did.

OK.  Made it to the coffee and biscuit part.

Still, it's a rip-off of Paulson.  Coincidence that if you shove the cane slightly further through the top hat that it looks nearly identical to a coffee cup and a biscuit?

Mr Chips.eu calls it a "Tribute Chip". I guess it's on par with those Rock and Roll tribute bands (The Detroit Doors, Beatlemania, High Voltage etc.)

You wouldn't want to pay full price for a tribute, but if you are a hardcore fan...

No doubt.

I'm torn on this.  I don't think anyone would confuse these chips with Paulson.  But if you want to pay "tribute" to Paulson, why would you do something so close?

They're more than a tribute to Paulson, they're a tribute the the WSOP.



From a few feet away, or just a casual glance, you might not see the difference. I really don't think anyone is going to confuse the two any more than any tribute band is going to be confused for the real McCoy, but If you're just a schmuck who wants to recreate the WSOP in their basement, it's a little better than a $10,000 investment.
