Who granted what? To whom? Go to a casino, take chips home, that's the hobby.

"Gene, I started out several years ago collection chips from the AC Casino I visited and now have a lot of the better AC chips in nice condition."

"I've only been collecting for about a year, but I am the future of this hobby like so many others."

If the future of this hobby is people who can't remember what they told someone over a period of 24 hours, if the future of this hobby is people who won't be up-front enough to include an email address with their publicly posted opinions, if the future of this hobby is people who forgot what the question was (Ben, why aren't you a member of the CCGTCC?), if the future of this hobby is people who claim to know nothing about grading who proceed to list other hobbies that use grading (including some that have not been discussed on this BB), the future of this hobby is in BIG trouble!
