Nevada Gaming had an issue with Paul-Son selling hat and can molded chips to both the casino industry and the home gaming markets. Paul-Son opted to make the hat and cane mold exclusive to the casino industry and kind of shyed away from the home gaming market. This lead to the demise of Paul-Son retail stores, which had existed in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and I believe, in Mississippi (Gulfport) and Reno, NV. (I am only certain of the first 2.)
All are now gone. As they once carried some really cool items, like this framed, printed sheet of inlays for the Pioneer Inn, Reno.
While the Pioneer Inn may not have been a popular seller, I can image other, possibly available printed sheets of inlays that I wish I had.
May I also point out that Paul-Son reserved a series of colors and insert patterns used exclusively for fantasy chips like yours. I believe that each of the inlays available could be found on any of the chip patterns reserved for fantasy chips (home gaming chips).
