Unicorn Mold chips (2 Viewers)

[AK Chip]

On a impulse buy I purchased 300 of the unicorn mold chips for $ 75 but have no idea if I way over paid for a plastic chip or a decent clay chip.

Any info would be great!!

Thanks Pat.

I don't now how to post a link to show pictures but they were on eBay under premium poker chips.

Plastic chip, but you probably paid in the range of reasonable imo. They have been used in the past as fracs to go with Bud Jones sets (they take a hotstamp) and a few people have created whole tourney sets out of them. I don't believe I've ever seen them used as a whole cash set.

At least the case looks nice. Lesson learned

I'd describe the unicorns as a relatively decent plastic chip -- 9g or so, produced by Chipco before they went belly-up. Dunno if the mold ended up at PGI with most of the other assets, or if it's still in Maine with GOCC. Made as an inexpensive hot-stamped option for casinos (with some home market sales). I think Chipco sold them on their web site for around 39c each.

I had a rack of silver dollar casino 25 cent chips in great condition that were unicorns. To me they felt very light, and were just ok. The hot stamps almost looked painted on vs melted in. I would definitely prefer a china clay over a unicorn.

I saw a couple of images with casino stamps on them and that led me to make the purchase. I didn't realize a casino would use a plastic chip.

Thanks for the info! Pat

GOCC has these on their website: http://www.gameoncc.com/Chips/UnicornSeries.aspx. Not seeing any prices listed.

Thanks!!

PGI also lists them available. No idea if they are actually still in stock or not. $.49 each on their website; Joe might do a little better for you if you email him.

Well that makes me feel a lot better about the purchase.
Thanks Pat

This appears to be a set of 500 unicorns:

Hey, what did you think of the unicorns, Pat? I only own one unicorn, so it’s tough to tell, but my impression of that one is that they’re pretty nice chips and i think I’d rather play with those than most cheap chips I’ve handled, and some expensive ones.

I have a sample hot stamped unicorn chip from GOCC and I wouldn't mind playing with these.

 

[mike32]

I did not care for the unicorns I had. They felt light and cheap to me. I would play with them, but lots of better options imo.

They were ok, I would chose them over most of the cheaper chips out there. Ill break them out tonight and throw them on the scale and compare them to some of the other chips I have floating around.

I have a custom set that I ordered from GOCC (added Gear labels) .... I am not ashamed to say that I actually like them ....a lot (y) :thumbsup:

I personally would rank them higher than ceramic and Bud Jones, but not as good as the Sunfly hybrid chips and sure as hell not as good as Paulson's or CPC's

$75 is going rate for 300 new unicorns with no stamp.

Is that price for new or used chips?

Edit: Nevermind. Read that again...

To make this a bit more confusing, there are copies of unicorn chips (not from chipco/gocc)..I bought a bunch from eBay for almost nothing, but they were cheap plastic chips blanks that felt like mermaids/mr lucky etc. One way to tell if they are "real" unicorns is if they have a casino stamp of some sort. There was also a discussion somewhere about the unicorn tail as the way to tell the knock offs from the real unicorns.

Zombie thread!

Can you say a bit more about this? I've noticed some differences also, and I'm trying to figure out what's what.
