El Cuco Cardroom - BCC (1 Viewer)

[w00zie]

I bought this set milled last year and last week the labels finally arrived.
These are BCC chips on the fantastic MGK mold.

I‘ve had the idea to make an El Salvador-inspired set for quite some time and here they are:
El Cuco is a beach near San Miguel in El Salvador, my wife‘s home country. Every time we go there to visit family we rent a house directly at el cuco beach.
It‘s where our daughter has seen the ocean for the first time

Thanks @moechar for selling the set to me, @mattross1313 for the excellent design work and @Himewad for the custom dealer button! And @Wifey and @Gear for their outstanding service and product!

I know I suck at taking pictures plus lighting in our flat is tricky. Anyways here is the lineup with the db:

WOW! Nicely done! What a fantastic set!

Love the label design. I feel like this set has bounced around forever, which is insane considering how incredible the BCC mold and colors are. It's awesome to see someone finally make it their own - congrats and best of luck with it!

Thank you. I waited a day or two when it was up for sale - but then had to snap it up.

These came out really nicely, great choice with textured laminate too

You and probably ~100ish other BCC worshipers, myself included, all saying "HTF do I make these work???" I had a very similar label design in mind for this set, but I'm glad you pulled the trigger as yours is way better lol

Love how these turned out! Had several opportunities to buy these but ultimately could not pull the trigger as the breakdown wasn't to my liking, but you knocked this one out of the park Stefan. Well done and hope to see these in play soon!

I’m happy that these chips will see play again! @w00zie owns the only two Finnish custom BCC sets that I’m aware of (not counting the GCOP GB). El fuego!

 

[BarrieJ3]

Well damnit. There’s not an extra of these for a sample huh?

Awesome set! I’m Salvadoran although have admittedly never been. Not being familiar with the areas, not sure if we’ll ever go. Despite the violence/issues, those that visit have said it’s beautiful country. Cool personal family set, congrats!

Que bien, my wife says hi!
It‘s actually become the safest country in Central America since Bukele basically put everyone with gang tattoos in prison. I don’t know enough about the country to have a real opinion on him and what he’s doing but it got much safer there.

Congrats ! Really nice

Thanks Joe! Your next best chance to play with them is at the Cologne meetup in October. Book your flight and come degen with us!

 

[mipevi]

Sorry Stefan, I have only one of each chip left. But the set I sold had some extras, no idea what happened to them.

 

[w00zie]

Sorry, it‘s exactly 600 chips

Samesies. Have seen a couple of things since they’re really hyping and trying to publicize the changes they’re making.

Not familiar with the politics, but sure looks like they aren’t playing around!

I’m Salvie and German (maiden name Grubb), so we’re almost family!

If you ever sell, I’ll pay very handsomely!

Amazing set, Stefan! Say, will these see any play in Cologne?

You bet!

 

[5aces]

These came up really nice! Love the textured inlays combined with the mold. Classic look. Love it!

 

[Dingdingding]

Awesome! I am more and more becoming a fan of consistent and not too hectic spots throughout the set... Although the next project i will is going in another route. But there is always another one i guess. Looking forward to Cologne!

 

[Anthrax]

Great looking set with a personal story! perfect color matching labels by @Gear

 

[BadCardHaver]

This is one of the best sets I've seen. Absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful set.

I see your location as Freiburg, curious as to why you're using dollars?

I'm not a fan of € sets, I didn't even think about not going with $. In my head poker chips = USA

+ El Salvador uses USD as their currency.

 

[MajorTom]

Beautiful set! (I agree with @MeridianFC )
The simplicity of the BCC spots combined with the inlay design (perfectly matching colors) looks absolutely classic!
