Now I live in a mini-storage so I can chip in style.

As far as "storage" advice... here's my experience with storage.

I USED to use binders...
but when I started my 10th Harrah's book...
I realized that wasn't gonna work.
Now I keep my "working" chips in binders
and the rest in BOXES and BOXES and BOXES of double rowed chip boxes.
Some I store in flips... others are stored in tubes.

My traders are in plastic trays (covered) or single rowed boxes.
Brass cores in airtites...
Same with higher end chips.

The rest are stacked on desks or closets... floors... drawers.... under the bed... ON the bed
(which I push over nightly so I can sleep - this ONLY works if you are single. )

What I can't keep in any of the above places... are stored in my sons room.
He is 12. His room is a mess so he doesn't notice anyway.

Glad to give you some pointers Steve!
Hope this gives you some idea what you are in for.

Ps... if you move (like I just did) DON'T ASK YOUR FRIENDS FOR HELP
They will look at you strangely and whisper to each other about your compulsiveness
Do NOT worry about this...
They don't know what they are talking about
