Liked these from photos, but I gotta say in person the color really pops and they're way more fun than I was expecting!

Last Q about the CDI’s: I’ve read that the 98’s are sought after the most, is that because they’re older or better? if the 98’s are “better” than the 05’s then why is that?
Click to expand...
I've owned bunches of CDIs -- the 98s and 05s as well as the ones BCC made. I like them all. The 05s have rich, bright explosions of color (I especially love the arc yellow $1,000). But the THC 98s have a texture, weight and balance that really draws others senses into the experience. I also dig their classic vintage look, and the lineup includes some pretty gorgeous chips, with a color palette that is almost nothing like the 05s. The radiant red $5s are a real stand out. Horizon blue $1s with blaze orange and yellow spots. Purple $500s. Arc yellow and metallic gold spots on the hundos. And thats not even mentioning the unicorn fracs or the $1,000s (which have also become quite difficult to find these days). The BCC version is a lesser facsimile of the 98s, but at about 1/3 the price... so they are a pretty good value -- at least IMHO -- for CDI lovers who don't have the cash for 98s or may struggle to find them. As many chippers suggest, buy samples. You may also consider buying just a barrel of each type. I find a full barrel gives me a much better idea of the feel of a chip.

Best summary so far - wise words from an experienced chipper!

Touché. I give A TON of credit to BCC for their version of the 98 CDI’s. Personally I think they’re a must own if you like the Paulson side. Colors are crazy good looking!

I don't even know what that is brother? What was in the box was 2 nice Casino polo shirts!

On top of our ridiculously addictive hobby, I also love buying casino shirts from all over! Couldn't say no to these, cool colors!

Only beard products that go into this are Legends Beard oil (vanialla/sandalwood) and Grave before Shave oil... the legends is my favorite by far! Reminds me... almost time to reorder! Lol

Just started using Viking Revolution Sandalwood myself ... gotta make sure the beard is plenty intimidating when I throw my handful of snappers into the pot :)
 
It was a TRK kind of weekend. I normally don't collect singles, but was kind of liking @Ben8257 TRK sample case that he posted a couple weeks back so I picked up a couple. @liftapint I owe you many times for many things so the Shy Clown is yours gratis whenever you want it. Also I figure there is no better time then now to start scooping up Nevada Club $100s. And a couple Money Tree .50s...

Oh yeah...and then a couple more...

First time shuffling a barrel of B molds... not bad! Beautiful chips, love the inlay designs...

Anyone that hasn't felt CPCs after they have been broken in for a while and judges them on their new condition... you are missing out!

I feel like a lot of people would say wow, you could have gone with brighter colors... but in my opinion to fit the mood of the set, these colors are perfect!! Just all around job very well done Bill!!

Also huge freaking thank you to @liftapint, they made it here. They are amazing and truly you are one of my very best friends on the forum Mel!! This place seriously wouldn't be the same with out you and all you do to contribute!! Also A++ for bomb proof packaging!! Lol
20201102_143012.jpg


Lastly my new buddy @matin24 thank you sir! Not only were these very professionally packed! But the entire exchange and getting to know you a bit more was wonderful sir! Thanks for the help with the CDIs buddy!!

Always awesome to home to a warm house after a frigid day at work to tons of packages and a warm house!! Oh and the aroma of Sour kraut and Turkey kielbasa in the crock pop!! That all thanks to @FordPickup92 who is still outside splitting wood!!

I've did about 5000 mockups for the bourbons. Muted colors were the only way to go
