Chipco chips, are they still available ? (1 Viewer)

[scoobycheesydoooo]

Hello people

I have been wanting to try out chipco chips for a while now, they pop up on eBay every now and then, but it’s sporadic.
How big is the chance they pop up around here ? I’ve also read that a vendor here offers Chipco blanks and you can customize them which is really nice, how do I get this project started. I’ve looked on the website of BR Pro Poker but I didn’t find any info on chipco chips.
Please help !!

Yeah ABC / BR should have the chipco blanks available, you just gotta ask. If you want a bunch of chipcos to get a feel for what you’re getting into, I should have a barrel or two.

Not a rick roll

Get samples first

Very generous gesture, even if you meant to sell me !
Can you point out the differences between a Chipco chip and a sun fly for example ? Or other generic ceramic chip, what makes Chipco better or aren’t they..

ChipCo blanks are no longer made. It is possible as an off-menu item from BR Pro for as long as there is stock left, but for a 20% upcharge on their normal blank.

If you plan on doing future add-ons, the BR Pro blank is the best option.

how would you rate BR Pro stock versus chipco NOS ?

ChipCo feels more clackey, BR Pro feels smoother. Not in a slippery way, just the face of the chip is smoother (IMO it prints better), and they definitely shuffle better. I think @CraigT78 might have his printed on BR's stock blank, and he can comment on how they hold up over time. One of the GOAT ceramic sets out there.

All my ceramics are on the chipco blank, from BrPro and GOCC.

6 years now and only a slight fade starting to show.

Each ceramic has a different feel and sound. In my experience, Chipco have a slight texture to the finish, BR Pro Poker have a more square edge and have both smooth and textured finishes (Nevada Jack are textured), and Sunfly are smooth with a more rounded edges.

Everyone has their preference. I didn't care for ceramics until I tried Chipco. You may have a different preference.

How the hell did you find those?

I don’t believe they carry the chipco blanks anymore. I inquired not too long ago and Gene said they were not offering them anymore like they used to. Unless I just misunderstood

Sadly, they are only for casinos now.

Gene announced that the Chipco blanks were available to us again, earlier this year.

Good ol eBay.

Unfortunately I don’t have experience with many other blanks, but chipco has a nice satin feel all over (with textured faces), without any sharp edges. The only ceramic sets that I’ve owned were both chipco.

These are awesome. Do you have them in quantity or just the sample set ?

Update: As discussed, ABC/BR PRO is again allowing orders on Chipco blanks. However, I may be the last ever order.

 

[Bulldog]

There is a Chipco Pr0n thread where members show off their sets. You can always test the waters to see if any would be willing to sell.

@scoobycheesydoooo - I already sold about 15k Chipcos this year so far, and I have another 3,000+ chip set of Rounders Casino chips below. Outside of @DMack, not sure anyone else has these in bulk. They are fantasy (i.e. not from a casino).

I could be persuaded to sell if you are interested (10s and 50s used as fracs/cents). If so, I'll take a pic of the current set as I know I added more since.

What? Why?

 

[Saoliver]

What? Why?

They are running out of blanks. Not a lot left.

 

[BGinGA]

The Game-On (GOCC) blanks are pretty close, and they have the molds to make more. But good luck trying to get them to communicate.

+1 - they don't seem to like money very much.

 

[CrazyEddie]

Maybe they have all they need.
