I was moving my JC set that I got through a TCR sale and saw this chip. Notice the “double rose” spot? Has anyone else seen other misprints like that before?

Hi folks -- I'm new here -- how often (or rare) is it for someone to offer a sale of a beautiful set like this? Is it crazy to wait around and expect someone might list a complete cash set like this (of beautiful Paulson chips)? I'd love to have something like this, but wondering if it's much more realistic to try to start buying in small pieces.

Welcome to PCF. Nice clay from sold or rebranded casinos is likely getting harder to find but you can check out Jim’s sales history for yourself on his vendor page.

And there are always the classifieds.

Guess I will use them next tournament. In my defense our game kind of died, think I’ve played maybe a handful of times since 2023. Hopefully we get one going in August and a couple more in the following months before the host moves south.
 
I don't know where I purchased these BCC Desert Palms color samples.
For some reason I was thinking Palm Imports, but I cannot deny the stamp :) .
22pc but not all of the BCC colors are there. Just found this thread showing the same 22.

I also have a T-Mold color sample set of 22pc but it has a different lineup (for example +Saturn Yellow).
Was 22 a magic number for BCC granting chip production choices?
Attaching here T-mold also for reference.

As I remember it, right before BCC closed, chippers were given a chance to to make chips using the Desert Palm mold with a hot stamp. There were also some designated spotted chips available too. Probably someone else can remember the details better than I do. Wish I would have taken advantage. :rolleyes: Photos are images from original offer and images of sets made by others.

Yes, these were really great chips from BCC. The Dolphin Blue chip with White and Orange spots I originally wanted to do an 8v chip, but Jim couldn't get BCC to do it! Here are some of the Desert Palm Spotted chips in my Grand Cardroom Cash Set with Gear labels!

Yup, so do I @chipsandcookies.. Still have my original St Jo Frontier Casino chips that I used as a T5 (1500 starting stack) SnG tourney set.

I think these were released during the pre-Chiptalk days, because IIRC i remember buying these from Jim on eBay. I was hooked after that first rack of bear claw hundos arrived in my hands - Thanks Jim @TheChipRoom!
