GOCC PrOn!!! (2 Viewers)

[charlie96792]

Hey fellow poker pals!!! Finally got my Customs in from GOCC!! I gotta say, they are absolutely beautiful!!! Here are the pics!! Enjoy!!!

 

[CraigT78]

Very nice! The edge spot alignment looks to be very well done. I do need to ask, why do they look so glossy? I have two sets of GOCC customs and only the beveled edge is glossy. The chip face is matte. Is it the lighting?

 

[charlie96792]

Hey @CraigT78 !! Thanks for the compliment! So the reason why they're so glossy is cause they have a finish known to GOCC as GOGuard, basically it's a lacquer type finish that not only makes the colors !!POP!!, but also gives it a durability finish for those very intense poker nights! But ya, it's a high gloss finish that protects the ink on the chip from fading and light scratches. Lmk if you have any more questions! I'd love to answer since there's only a little info on here about GOCC. I was gonna go with CPC but since there was only little about GOCC, I went ahead and pulled the trigger & I could never be more happy about my choice! Mahalo!

Thanks for the info! Was the GoGuard an additional fee? I didn't know that was an option! Any chance you have a sample set for sale? I'd love to be able to compare them to my GOCC sets.

Interesting. I'm curious to know how they compare as well.

 

[detroitdad]

Well done sir. Its a nice flow from the 500 to the 1k to the 5k which is something of a preference for me (flow of colors).

 

[CraigT78]

They look like Sun-Fly style chips in the pictures. I thought these were oiled at first glance

 

[charlie96792]

Ya, @CraigT78 the GOGuard was an additional fee. Was like 20¢ extra per chip or something like that. I think it's worth it cause it makes the chip stand out, and believe it or not really added to the professional appeal of the chip! Unfortunately I don't have extras to sell as a sample set. I will however have sample sets for sale when I order my $100, $25, $5, & $1 sets for sure!

Thanks @detroitdad ! You don't wanna know how long I've been choosing colors and what not before I even began to put my order in! I'd literally stay up half the night some times going back & forth! But it was well worth it. I'm working on my 100 to 1 denominations and there's already been a few sleepless nights!!

I actually was hoping to put the GoGuard on thinking that it looked oiled. And it was a success! Some of them were kind of sticky cause I guess they were still wet

I do know. My custom set is all solids and it took me a ton of time to figure out what I wanted. Then I helped @Phantom with his tourney Casino Royale set and I'm guessing I put in hundreds of hours on the Chip Design tool. Now I'm working on designing another cpc set and wow.............I feel like the CDT is my mistress. I'm whispering sweet nothings to her.

Well, as a comparison the GOCC samples feel chalky and very grippy, as for the GoGuard set they're kind of slick but not speed cheques slippery and the colors pop like a brand new Mercedes Benz! But the colors are way more intense. Pictures really don't do it justice. Especially in the sun.

The 1k chip really does "pop".

Ya, @detroitdad that's how insomnia looks like!!

Definitely interested in samples if they also have GOGard on them; I have no GOGard in my samples sets.

Thanks! One of the appeals of GOCC chips for me is the "grippiness" of the chips, so that would be a factor for me.

But that yellow...wow.

Definitely interested in GoGuard samples if they become available.

 

[charlie96792]

Ya @CdnBeerLover , that yellow is no f'n joke!! And the hot pink, it's almost too much!!! But I just love them! And like I said with GoGuard, it really brings out the colors that would look otherwise dull and washed out.

 

[Mark Sieczka]

They glow in the dark. Perfect for effect.

 

[upNdown]

The 5k is bigger? Is that a 43mm?

 

[BGinGA]

Nice-looking chips! The yellow and pink hues are insane.

GoGuard, it really brings out the colors that would look otherwise dull and washed out.

I wouldn't characterize my GOCC chips (or @Mr Tree 's Paymaster set) as dull and washed out, but the vibrancy added by the GoGuard application is certainly readily apparent.

This would be my biggest concern. Count me in for samples of any GoGuard chips you may offer in the future.

Lmk if you have any more questions! I'd love to answer since there's only a little info on here about GOCC.

The edge spot alignment looks to be very well done.

I agree, but I did notice several chips in the photos with misaligned edge spot printing (nearly unavoidable when replicating clay chip edge-spots on ceramic chips, so no real surprise).

What is your estimate of the percentage of chips that are misaligned to the degree of being deemed unacceptable by overly-OCD chippers? I ask, because OCD types will want to order an extra amount of chips to allow replacement of the overly-misaligned chips. Knowing up front what percentage to plan for is valuable information to those planning on ordering chips with similar edge-to-face alignment features.

In for samples.

Also, when you order the cash set, you might consider putting in a small "reorder" of your tourney chips if they'll allow a small minimum of 25ea. to include with the rest of the samples.

Regardless, I'm in for samples of whatever's available.

@Mark Sieczka it's actually a security feature that I put on the chips!!!

 

[charlie96792]

It's 44mm and they are sweet looking compared to the 39mm!!!

I'd say for the edge spots your looking about 30% or so. Nothing that major. In fact there was actually one chip that was like "OMG" off! But I'm a little OCD myself and I love them!!!

10¢ additional per chip for the GOGuard and it wasn't available yet when you ordered Craig
