In 2005 I bought a 1000-chip set of BCC "Modern Clay" chips from buypokerchips.com / Sidepot. I followed it up with 700 BCC "Inplay" chips in more tournament-oriented denominations. Having only ever played $2/4 limit or NL tournaments in casinos, I didn't know jack about what denominations to get, and as you might imagine I bought relatively unplayable sets. As a result, I didn't use the chips.
Fast forward to today, close to 20 years later. The chips I use for normal use are well-worn HSI chips from Apache plus some racks I got from the classifieds here about 4 years ago. They are fine. But I came back to this site to build a custom set and, for whatever reason, I reconnected with some of the Inplay and Modern Clay owners I had been speaking with a few years ago.
Long story short
- I tried to add to my Inplay set to make it playable but essentially no one would sell. As a result, I threw in the towel on that set and sold it to @kk405
- @Big Money had a large Modern Clay set and after some offers to trade to make each of our sets more playable, I ended up buying the whole thing
In the course of all this I managed to build a list of all the people who seem to own or have owned Modern Clay chips based on many searches (@Horac @Steppenwolf @Phish1321 @HO HO HO @TeddyKGB82 @yoogK @facinfears217 @darkskulls147 @dkq999 @Split @sir bluffs alot @stevea @DJ_Fett @Whip @Bighig @Pokeherbutt81 @kaimat @EmptyPocs).
Oh and also I had some specialty chips made to complement the set, which I posted about here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/custom-speciality-chips-from-aurora-poker-gear.123362/
So now I think the journey is complete, with 2,301 chips in total. There are a few lose ends, namely 39x $2 chips that make no sense unless I can add to them, 200 of the $1 and 100 of the 50c that are not "NM" condition, etc. And there are a few oddities, for example the color shade of 100 of the 25c chips is weirdly different than the shade of the rest of them, etc. But overall a great set and now despite the fact that I play with other chips and don't want to take from the "NM" status of this set, I will for sure put them into use at least a little bit.
Of course, a rabbit hole is a rabbit hole, so if anyone with these wants to trade denominations or sell, I can't say I won't listen................................
