all too familiar with heat stressed chips
i will dig up some
but at times it is necessary --i have baked many a BCC failure to un-warp them
(oven and vise grips bound in ceramics)
so naughty

I can confirm that cpc chips and Paulson's to a lesser extent do not enjoy warm climates. We all know that chips will warp in a hot car but I swear I've had chips warp over the years in much lower temperatures than that. It freaked me out having sets delivered here anywhere near summer.
Chips will warp over time at normal room temperature if subjected to uneven pressures for long enough. I've seen vintage chips bent to almost 90 degree angles when pressed/crushed over a hard metal corner for likely a few decades.
The BCC ghost molds need to be presented here
canceled chip orders re-pressed with a different mold and then the previous mold pops out on the new owner
I could never believe that they would be so cheap/cheesy to remold a chip and resell it
usually only shows up after heat-stress
I have a bunch somewhere

So dreamy. Had a feeling those were the same racks
Only casualty ever. No big deal.
Very useful for teaching noobs what an inlay is, as opposed to a label.

I made them all during the Protege group buy.
I made 1000 for myself and I think the totals on these was barely over that (for maybe a hundred samples).
Can't believe I sold them off. It was a let go moment

That looks like heat damage. Maybe they were in a hot delivery vehicle?
I received a chip that got stuck in a sorting machine. It was smooshed on one side.

Being a parent of kids, I've gotten in the habit of taking pictures of the crazy messes they leave before cleaning them up.Only a true chipper…instead of immediately starting to pick them up, …stops.
Takes photo.
Well played.

the pic is funny
it looks like the leaded starbursts never fell
& all the other chips: protege, custom hourglass, BJs, & GCR's all cradled to protected the Deadwoods in the centre
Over a decade later, I can personally vouch for the continued wellbeing of all Protégé (Protege) secondary chips that were involved in the great EmptPocs shelf collapse, both denominated and non-denominated:

All dead…. Every single one of them…

I got a bit impatient when murdering and decided to try NPR (with acetone), and it pretty much slowly started to dissolve the chip. Luckily only had this single casualty though, before i stopped using NPR.
Cheap Facebook marketplace find. Old chips stored horribly wrong obviously. Heat damage. Some decent chips in the lot luckily, but these were some of the most warped ones. Straight up taco shells as my reshipper @Ethan called them
Something tried to eat these pca $5s...

We call those "Bananas" or "Potato Chips" I have flattened some bad ones but unfortunately some of those are not fixable,even if you somewhat get them back to flat... in a couple weeks they will start bowing again.I got a bit impatient when murdering and decided to try NPR (with acetone), and it pretty much slowly started to dissolve the chip.

Super glue works great for CPC. For Paulson too.

But, I was not careful enough with these particular chips. If I search, I can find better chips after repair. The problem is that you need to be fast and accurate. Buy 1+ !
