As newcomers to the hobby, we have to depend allot on what we hear about collecting chips, and go with the bits and pieces of information about chip collecting that we can obtain from this board, the club board, and from the few fellow chippers that we have met.
The chip board, and the club board have become our favorite sites, and we read every new posting several times a day. We study each issue of importance, and consider every person's opinion on each matter.
We have high respects for the seasoned chippers that post on a regular basis and also the ones that post only occasionally to voice their opinion on something.
After much thought, we have come to the following conclusions:
1. The slabbing of casino chips or any other collectibles will lead to the eventual ruination of our hobby for any of us that are not in it for financial gain.
2. Having all new or mint conditiion chips in our collection is not so important.
3. We want to thank Janice O'neal for her sponsorship to the CC-GTCC and to Tyrus Mulkey for his input and invitation to the local chapter Here in Las Vegas.
4. We are in complete 100% support of Jim Reilly and his proposed board to be the next club leadership team.
5. We would like to be added to the list as more chippers that will never have anything to do with slabbed, and or commercially graded chips.
Happy Holidays to all:
Bruce and Donna Karli
Las Vegas
