What are your thoughts on the blue chip co, have they increased in value much? These are the ones I sold earlier this year, just having sellers remorse

I feel like there are forces behind the scenes collaborating saying “Let’s run the price up on xxxxx” and then somehow make it happen. Ala Reddit and the stock market.
BCC’s are somehow worth $3 a chip now.
Some are even trying to make an argument that they are a better chip than RHC Paulsons. BTW anyone who says that is crazy and probably trying to sell you something.

BCCs are better than most, but not all, RHC chips.

It's just scarcity. People want what they can't have.
BCC are more difficult to acquire each year as more people join this hobby.
RHC supply is increased by tens or hundreds of thousands each year by the Chip Room.
Some NAGB chips are somehow worth $20 a chip now. Everything is going up.

Idk....
No offense to the buyer of your former bcc's but that was certainly not one of bcc's best efforts. Inlays are all out of round and that shell mold is garbage if you ask me. Bcc's are also much harder than Paulsons so I guess each to their own, but if those were the same price as just about any newish RHC's, I'd take the RHC's.

No, they are only worth about $2 max/chip and could be made in unlimited quantities for that price.
People here are just foolish with their money. Chips sell for what buyers are willing to pay so when multiple people want something & don't care if they lose a lot of money, nagb chips sell for $30/chip, not long after they sell for $15/chip and a while later $10/chip and so it goes....

For many they're not worth more than $2 each. But that's not the reality of current 'market' prices. Recent RPC listings have gone for really high prices.
It's relative. For some, a rack of chips for $1000-$2000 is equivalent to a mortgage payment. For others, it's one round of betting or an average pot in a night. And for the vast majority of the population, spending more than $50 on a set of poker chips is ridiculous.

Yeah I’m kicking myself for sure 
I will say it’s dumber than RHC, but it’s also less crappy than RHC.
Hey, if that’s the set you sold, you had kind of a lousy breakdown. They weren’t good for very much, except for looking for more. And that’s not easily done. And for what it’s worth, the chipping market has kinda died in the last 6 months, if you sold early this year, you might have gotten peak value. At least for a while.

I agree on that one brotha, not a big fan of the brown 10s, half the reason I sold. Also not enough high value chips
If I could pick between designing custom Paulsons (even THC) or custom bccs I’d choose bccs. And no I have nothing to sell you. In fact, you couldn’t buy them if you tried.

Ordering custom BCCs was a piss poor experience.
It was a gamble whether you'd get a decent set. Spinners, misshapen inlays, split spots, etc. QC was virtually non-existent.
Communication was terrible. You'd often not get replies for weeks if any reply at all.
The Endy brothers also were never willing to concede on errors on their end. They clearly fucked up my hotstamp order and wouldn't budge. They had a take it or leave it attitude. They didn't care about small custom orders.
They were willing to take the orders and make them. But forget about any customer service with BCC - it didn't exist.
There are some prime BCC sets out there for sure. But those are the cream of the crop. The exception. Alot of those are culled sets - the very best of the thousands that were produced. An example of that are the proteges. There were a myriad of issues with that line.
All that aside, if you are lucky enough to have a quality BCC set, you should keep it forever. Or you will regret it.
IMHO, a quality BCC set is several notches above the run of the mill RHC set from some random casino.
There’s a support group thread called chips I regret selling somewhere on here. Good luck on your recovery

I’ve owned many of the “poor quality” bcc sets and would still choose those over RHC. Hell I have a flame mold set now that I love so much and couldn’t fathom letting go

So what bcc set are you attempting to eventually sell?
Hang on, I'll reply right after I work through the dozen or so messages I just received from eager sellers!

This is exactly why we play tournaments and not cash. Little derail here, but this vast economic difference means a lot to fledgling games. Sure everybody wants to play cash, until their $53 for spending money that month is gone. Then they are just sitting around the cash table, broke, and nothing to do. Kinda sounds like a tournament.
Most of you would say” fuckem, if they don’t have enough money to play cash poker with me then they aren’t worth bothering with’ but for us it’s more of a social event than it is a way of making house payments.
Ha. For me it’s the opposite. Mr fancy watch thinks he can blow over the table with huge bets and just keep rebuying if it doesn’t work? Screw him, I’d rather play with people who want to play poker.
I agree there are some exceptional BCC sets out there that have their own place high above the rest and will probably never see an open market. But there are A LOT of great sets below that grade as well.
I have never had the BCC customs experience but I know there are plenty of qc issues just with some of the regular home lines.
Yes, there are a lot of different color/inlay versions of the Proteges but to call that a bad chip is just poor taste imo. I’d take the cigar & snifter above plenty of different Paulsons.

I wouldn't categorize proteges as bad chips. But there is/was a lot of variation. Of course with a compressed clay chip you're never going to have uniformity. These are handmade. And that's actually the appeal - at least for me. BCC made a great chip when they hit the mark. But they quite often missed.
The majority of folks who have become accustomed to the level of service at CPC, and the consistent quality that CPC churns out, would be shocked at what BCC considered acceptable.
It's not without merit that alot of people considered (and still may consider) BCC as a second rate product. Hence those who think there's some illuminati manipulating the market for BCCs. I'd snap buy certain BCC chips at $3. These same conspiracy minded folks probably wouldn't blink at RHCs going for +$5/chip.

As one who had multiple dealings with the Endys, I can only say my experience was very good. They certainly could be a bit prickly and the suggestion that they had to take it or leave it attitude is probably true. That said everything worked out peachy for me.
I will agree that quality control could be all over the place. Misshapen inlays I think was by far the most common thing I witnessed. I think if one considers the thickness issues that CPC can have we all except a little bit of imperfection for the consumer market products.
That said CPC customer service completely kicks ass on anything that BCC ever did.
I’d happily sell my big BCC set for $20 a chip

Pretty much any custom mold used by BCC is/was vastly superior to either of their two house molds. Both the open-use Flame mold (now referred to as the Flower mold by GPI, and as the Lame mold by many on PCF and elsewhere) and the casino-only Sun mold (actually used for a few non-casino custom orders and group buys) were pretty simplistic designs with limited appeal.
The C&S mold, MGK, TFP, Suits, T-mold, and the Web mold were all custom molds owned by other people and used by BCC to make some outstanding sets. And unfortunately, a few clunkers, too.
