Steve, After you have been collecting for quite some time storage can become a big problem. I have collected since 1976 and I have a mess. In no praticular order I have chips in closets, under beds, on beds, in beds, in cabinets, on my pool table, in the bathroom(don't ask), in my desk, under my desk, and on my desk! As you can see, there is no easy answer, the only advise I can really offer is to be carefull and don't leave chips lying around if you have small children or pets. One time we went out to dinner and my exwifes' cat swallowed a chip and choked to death. My wife was very moved that I insisted on taking Fluffy to the vet even though he was obviously dead and was becoming harder than a Carp. Actually I just wanted the Vet to slice the little b*stard open and get my chip back which he did. Thank God my chip was ok but it smelled real funny. I kept it for about a month then traded it to Susong. Well anyway good luck with your collection and let me know if I can ever be of help. Jim Kruse
