Thanks to Dave "Live Free or Die" for his posting... It made me think about my first chip that I aquired for collecting pourposes.
I think it would be interesting to have everyone interested to have a "show and tell" about where and how they got their first chip.
In 1975 I was 14 years old and started collecting playing cards and dice from gift shops when my parents would visit Nevada. Not much for kids to do back then. In 1976 we made a trip to Lake Tahoe and stayed at the Sahara Tahoe, they had a poker table near the enterance of the lobby... I watched for hours from the lobby and became interested in the chips that they used. I asked my father to get me a chip and he went in the casino and came back with this chip.
