![]() The sun damage on the inlay of that $25 would generally be considered a bigger issue. 10 years ago I had a different opinion of ghost mold chips, so take that with a grain of salt. In the grand scheme of issues that can be observed in BCC chips, I personally find the ghost mold to be one of the more tolerable. The impact on value is for the most part a personal decision though. It’s generally considered more of a manufacturing defect than an error, and would be expected to have a negative impact on the value of the chip. The phenomenon was most frequently observed with the Protégé line, although I wouldn’t call it common. There were reports on Chiptalk that baking (or otherwise heating up) BCC chips would sometimes expose a ghost mold that wasn’t otherwise apparent. The Protégé line, on the other hand, I’ve seen with both Cigar and Sniffer and Courts and Numerals as the ghost mold. The GCR chips I’ve seen with ghost mold have MGK on top of MGK. I’ve seen it in both the Protégé line as well as the Grand Cardroom MGK group buy chips. What you’re seeing here is known as a “ghost mold.” It’s thought that BCC would press chips more than once in the process of manufacturing, and chips with a ghost mold are pretty strong evidence that they did so.
