Welcome to the club Lee & Kathy! I direct you to the club web-site, which contains the following on it's 'club info' page:

"Our members collect chips, tokens, and other casino memorabilia (ashtrays, dice, playing cards, matchbook covers, slot machines, and even such things as postcards showing casinos), trade, buy and sell among themselves."

So you see, chip collecting isn't the ONLY thing (just the best ). However, if you haven't thrown away those chips that people have sent, you ARE a chip collector! Or, at least you are weakening......
