Peter: Look forward to meeting you. Stop by at Table # 45 and we'll chat.

I don't have a lot of chips for trade--but take a look at http://web.syr.edu/~thlewin/ and see if there is something there of interest. You'll find lots of traders and buyers at the show. You say you are new to chipping, but if you have been playing Black Jack long and keeping chips, you may have quite a collection.
