I am willing to trade a $1, $5, $25 or $100 Chesterfield Club prop chip (your choice of which one) from the movie Rounders for either of the two Olivia's I'm missing.
In the alternative, I'm willing to trade a sample set of all three MARVEL Paulson chips for either of the two NCV Olivia's described.
Most people will be familiar with the Rounders props but for those of you who are not familiar with the superhero ones here’s some background on the MARVEL chips:
Dufferin Games Ltd. had a worldwide licensing agreement with Marvel Enterprises, Inc. that was announced on July 19, 2001. They were one of the few places in Canada that sold any kind of good quality poker chips at the time and the only one I have ever heard of that sold any Paulson chips - and then only these Marvel ones. They started selling the chips in 2002. They were snapped up by Canadians willing to pay to get real Paulsons to make sets for home games.
Not long after they entered the agreement with Marvel and produced a limited number of the sets of chips, the Dufferin Games chain of 21 stores went bankrupt and was closed, meaning that no more chips were produced. I think most of them went into sets for home games, which means that we don't see them for sale very often.
I'm hoping that even if none of you have any of the Olivia's to trade at this time, those who are going to the convention will keep my post in mind. If I don't have any luck with this posting I may try again closer to the time of the convention.
I'm also interested in getting more of the other NCV denominations after I get these.
Thanks for looking,
Neil
