So it appears that GOCC, or now - ChipCo is back in business. I had a sales rep reach out to me and offer to ship me some samples. I received them today. Looks like they have some new (to them) offerings. An 8 striped custom inlay chip (2 versions), what appears to be a compressed China clay like chip, and the custom ceramics. Also included were 2 versions of their custom playing cards. A standard version, and an upgraded 'Premium Smooth' version. I'll share my impressions.

Custom Cards:
I like these. The printing is crisp, and the premium version has a nice weight and feel. Stiff, but not too stiff. Still paper stock, with a waxy plastic like coating. I wouldn't introduce them to my regular game, but am strongly considering these fory annual charity game - cost depending.

8 spot chips:
A total of 4 chips were sent in the sample package. Two are solid with white spots, two are solid with two tone spots. Slippery as hell, like a stack of labeled dice chips. Printing quality is excellent with a slight texture to the inlay. Depending on price and customization options, might be a good entry level custom chip a step up from dice chip versions.

Solid plastic?
These are very sharp. Razor sharp edges and a little less slippery. Same semi textured inlay and print quality also very good.

Finally the custom ceramics:
Two samples sent. 39mm and a 44mm sample. The 39mm appears to be on the previous GOCC blank as it was identical to my WCPR chips. The 44 however was much thicker and quite square. Print quality was excellent.

I’m really surprised at the extra thickness of the oversize chips.

Knowers of chip things: is the thickness on Paulson 48 mm FHC and 50 mm no molds the same as the 39/43mm?
 
Interesting area codes. Production still in Maine, with a sales rep down here in the Tampa area ... and Maine, New Jersey, and Florida sales taxes.
 
Those solid plastics could be pretty cool for an inexpensive custom tourney set. That is, if they stack pretty well. The website is in progress, apparently.

New chip offerings don't look very appealing, hopefully the ProTech chips/print quality will be the same as before. The card options might come in handy for one offs.
 
Emailed them for info using the above email and have gotten nothing... not super enthused about the customer service

Even sunfly replies much faster
 
Has anybody tried just calling these people? Clearly answering emails is not their strong suit...
