The majority of my France jeton collection has been assembled by trading. In fact, I'm willing to say that 90% (thousands of jetons) have been thru trading. I collect very little current material (that's the 10%).

I can show you trade inventory lists of 40,50, 60 chips/jetons at a time; bact-to-back mailing after mailing; month after month, year after year. Never, once, has a $ or Ffr been involved in any trade transaction. I agree 100% with you, Paul, It's the best way to go...
