What chips are these? (1 Viewer)

[Ethan]

What are these chips? My n00b is showing...

Are they cheapos or worth anything?

 

[AK Chip]

I think they are BCC clay chips

 

[Perthmike]

Yep definitely look like bcc chips.

BCC Modern Clays. They are worth about $1 each, but I thought I recall these popping up before and a PCF member looked at (or bought) them and they were warped. I could be completely making that up though.

Edit: Actually, I think I'm referring to another listing. The listing above was listed 6 months ago

Ha yeah that’s exactly what I was looking at. You guys are good. Sounds like i need to steer clear. Thanks!

Nice chips...here are some close up shots I pulled from my BCC color sample set.

I have a couple old samples of these. They are decent chips. A little lighter than Paulson I think.

why steer clear?

under a buck a piece is a bargain.

Worried about warping. N00b here... how does that affect their playability and value?

Chips don’t just warp on their own like cards can. If chips are warped they were either warped due to faulty manufacturing, for else somethibg stupid happened to them like being left on the dashboard of a hot car. And a lot of people have posted here having success un-warping chips by clamping them together and baking them at low temperatures.
Anyway, how’s it affect playability? Depending on how bad the warp is, it will affect how well the chips will stack. But not really. Most people keep their stacks to 20 and a couple of warped chips isn’t going to mess that up for otherwise high quality chips.
Value? Yes it can affect that. If you get a good look at a rack of chips, you’ll notice the warped ones, and you won’t want to pay as much.
So warped chips aren’t ideal, but they’re not that big a deal either, unless the problem is severe.

Ok cool, that makes sense. Thanks @upNdown!
