Yes Marc there is people who buy the 100 dollar limited editions.
That is how I started collecting casino chips. A friend of mine heard that I was going to Las Vegas and asked me to pick up a $1 chip from any of the casinos that he had not been to. I was at the Railroad Pass in Henderson and a man over heard me asking for acouple of good $1 chips from the cage and asked me if I collected casino chips. He then told me that the Las Vegas Club was going to start selling three baseball player chips($10 Dizzy Dean,$10 Shoeless Joe Jackson, and a $100 Babe Ruth)at 2pm the next day.

So the next day my father and I went down to the casino at 12 to gamble for awhile and get 1 each of the $10 chips. We sat playing blackjack and come 12:30 a line starts to form, we are shocked at the people lining up to buy these chips. At 1 o'clock television cameras start filming the lines, now we don't know what to make of this. We sat at the blackjack table and said to each other there must be a big deal about these chips and maybe we should get more than we planed. So we got inline and it kept growing and growing, so we thought maybe we should get the Babe Ruth chip,but said no too expensive.
Then while inline they passed out cards showing the case they were going to send you to put the chip in,that was it we each got 2 of each of the $10 chips and 1 each of the Babe Ruth and our chip collections were started.

Three years later we plan vacations around casino locations and the convention in Las Vegas. Now we are so hooked that most of our extra money goes towards chips. While my father still has his Babe Ruth as his only $100, I also have the one from the Four Queens Texas set.
We talked to the man who told us about the chips at last years convention(our first) and thanked him for getting us addicted.
