Two Pair
Hi everyone. I got in on the second run of the BCC Capital Room chips several years back and regrettably sold my set. This is one of my all-time favorite sets, and as a UT grad I love the Austin connection. I've tried over the past year to find a playable set, with no luck. Recently, I was able to get the rights to the artwork and plan to remake a set through Classic Poker Chips (CPC). It will be a cash / micro-cash set, identical to the original with a few differences:
• The 5c chip will be labeled (vs. hotstamped) with 218 spots
• Since this is a cash set, there's no need for a $500 chip, so I'm using those colors (pink / red, gray, white) for a new 25c chip
• The original 25c chip will become a 50c chip to help with spot progression
• $1s, $5s and $25s are as close as I can get to the original BCC colors
• The $100 chip will be 44mm using a 4v12+ spot (assuming a 3v12+ spot isn't possible on 44mm)
• All fractionals and the $100 will be unweighted; $1s, $5s and $25s are weighted
I much prefer CPC quality to BCC. The BCC originals had issues – split spots, color issues, etc. This will be a better-quality set, IMO, and a better breakdown for fractional play.
If there's enough interest in a group buy, I will open this up. I'm not looking to make $, but I would look to offset my costs on the artwork so there will be a per-chip charge to cover that. Still TBD, but it should be somewhere in the $2.50 per chip range, depending on breakdown. I will be working directly with CPC, handling all $$ and shipping out all chips myself. I've done many deals here and can provide references. FYI, there's a 4-6 month wait for chips on the A-mold right now, per CPC, once payment is received.
If you're interested, please indicate (roughly) how many chips you'd want. I will plan to buy enough chips to sell sample sets, so feel free to post interest in samples so I get enough to cover.
I'll post an official group buy thread if there's sufficient demand. FYI the artwork here is rough; I'll post final hi-res images if this moves to an official group buy.
Thanks all.
