What are these chips called? (1 Viewer)

[Mysticum]

I'm trying my best here to describe what I know, sorry if something is off or confusing, it was many years since I had a crush on poker chips, but it's on again

I wonder what chips I have in the top row. For some reason, I have imagined that they are Blue Chip chips, but that might be totally incorrect based upon nothing. They do, however, look similar to the chips in the bottom row, which is Blue Chip Mardi Gras. They are the same size, but the feel is slightly different, and more importantly, the sound differs significantly.

The sound is what makes me so interested in these chips. I have many samples from many different chips, but these make the best sound, by far. Even better than my Paulson samples, which would be no 2 for me.

The samples were purchased many years ago, during the poker boom, and ordered from a website which doesn't seem to exist anymore. It was the highest result when you googled for poker chips, and at the time, when I was a student, all their chips were unfortunately out of mu budget. The most expensive chips sets they sold were these ones, and a Chipco chip called "Rounders" (not replicas from the movie).

I assume these chips are not available anymore, but if someone knows more about the chips, I'm very interested.

Thanks in advance!

I think these were sold by Sidepot Gaming, but I could be wrong about that.

Modern Clay line, made by Blue Chip Company (no longer in business) using the Courts & Numerals mold (no longer available) exclusively for Sidepot Gaming Company (buypokerchips.com), who still maintains the web site but isn't an active clay poker chip vendor any longer.

Thanks bud. These are indeed Modern Clay chips from BCC. they are some of the best feeling poker chips that I know of. They sometimes suffer from color transfer or heat press issues, but I love the chips. If you have some you would like to part with, let me know.

Agreed. They seem really amazing, and the sound is absolutely fantastic! Had these been for sale in new condition, it would be an absolute slam dunk for me.

Some fun facts, I have an old picture from one of the original ads for these chips back in 2002 or 2003:

Also I had the information that these molds were destroyed long time ago when I tried to get more markers..

I did a search for Sidepot on the Wayback Machine and found this page from 2005. That's around the time I bought my Paulson home set. Crazy that Paulson, BCC clays and Chipco chips were all around $1 each.

I only have a single $25 chip from this lineup. I think I also had a copy of that issue of All In. What's a magazine nowadays?!
