Greetings PCF! As some have noticed, I’ve been in “hibernation” for a bit:
When it’s been over four years since the last login and over four and a half years since the last chip bought or sold, it seems appropriate to return by posting some pics taken nearly six years ago. Some may remember that I picked up a 600 piece BCC Riverboat web mold cash set from @RainmanTrail, and I’m long overdue to post the pics. Contrary to rumor, I don’t have a two or three table tourney set of BCC Riverboats unless you were to get extremely creative (not in a good way) with chip breakdowns. However, I did double-check my Riverboats to make sure that I didn’t buy a tournament set that I forgot about! I only bought the cash set from @RainmanTrail; his tourney set went to @kecclest from what I can tell. I do have some tourney chips that I bought from @links_slayer in case they’re needed for cash games, but I didn’t otherwise pursue the tournament version of these chips back when they were available. That’s enough about me, on to the chips!
The chips were designed by Matthew Kett. The first cash set of these chips that I saw belongs to @ChaosRock, who found them on eBay. His set appears to have the “new” canary yellow from BCC, while RainmanTrail’s set has the “old” canary yellow. I exchanged some emails with Michael Patton on the subject, and he said the web mold Riverboat chips were all on a single order. This confirmed my suspicion that for some period you could wind up with two different versions of canary yellow on the same order placed with BCC.
You’re probably just here for the pics though, so here we go!
…does anyone else see something in the background of that last pic?
For those that might enjoy a soundtrack while viewing chips, I invite you to follow this link:
…but wait, there’s more!
So that’s my BCC web mold Riverboat V2 cash set. There's a limit of 20 attachments to this post, so that will have to be enough for now.
Between this set, ChaosRock’s set, and RainmanTrail’s sample set, I’m aware of the following chips in the PCF community:
$.25: 979
$1: 925
$5 (old): 441
$5 (new): 554
$5 total: 995
If @ChaosRock has any chips beyond the full racks in his pics, that would increase this count. This comes pretty close to 1k chips for each denomination, but there could be another set out there. I bought two sets from HPC, and @RainmanTrail bought at least one. The sets I bought were 678 and 700 chips large, and RainmanTrail’s set was apparently 721 chips. ChaosRock’s set is at least 800 chips. When I bought my sets from HPC, Michael said that he sold two of the four set available in less than a week. This was six years ago, and @RainmanTrail had just purchased his set. @ChaosRock had his chips for at least a year at that point. Unless the set @RainmanTrail bought counted as two, there’s probably another ~700 chip set out there. It’s possible that Michael ordered ~1200 of each denomination for the cash set.
That’s all that I know about the cash set. If anyone else has additional information, please feel free to chime in!
