If you did not start collecting from an interest in the chips you were playing with, how did you get started collecting? Personally I got started while playing at the Hard Rock. I picked up a Hootie and the Blowfish chip and decided to keep it. That was the only time that I left the Hard Rock with anything! The next day I went in the Gambler's General Store and saw a bunch of chips for sale. I then found chips for sale on Ebay, made a few purchases, found out about the club and the rest is history. Thanks for you time.
