You collect chips
You “specialize” in Harrah chips
While you “collect” other casino chips, you “focus/concentrate” your efforts to Harrah’s.
Does this automatically make you an expert or authority on Harrah’s? No, not automatically. However, because you specialize in Harrah’s, I would expect you to know more about them than most. I think you will find just about everyone will focus his or her collection on something. Because of this they will have more of that type of chips. As a result of their efforts, they will usually have a higher level of knowledge about them.
The bulk of my collection is as follows and in order. Oklahoma Indians, Crystal Park CA Dunes LV, Mapes Reno and Vegas LTDs.
While I’m no expert at any of these, I do know more about Oklahoma Indian Casinos than the average collector. I know very little about Crystal Park, I just liked the chips, they were cheap and again I liked the looks of them. I read some history of the Mapes and was a bit intrigued by it. I intend to find out more as my collection grows. They other I just picked up because I liked them.
