Same here. First was a token I bought in LV at an antique show. Kit Carson Club. Then I went to every casino in LV and Laughlin to get token's from there. Next step was a friend told me of and took a look there and started with some chips but thought S/S would be my thing until I found out the cases are not hermetically sealed and they will tarnish. Next was chips. Honestly, I still prefer tokens, but have more chips than tokens/SS, ashtrays,felts, dice (maybe) now. And like my life, have no direction ! Not that I care. When I grow up I will know what I want to be ! A Pirate!!!!!
