I store my chips in frames. (Tyrusrex.com) I never have to worry about chip damage or chips bleeding. The frames are similar to C.D. cases and can be stored the same way. In frames they can also easily be displayed if I choose to go that route. Also, It's very easy to keep my growing collection organised. I collect sets of fractionals, $1, $2.50's, $5's, ect. in house chips and L.E. chips. When I was using binders if a casino that I'm collecting puts out a chip it was very hard to add a chip to a binder. Moving over every chip in the book wasn't worth the trouble. I found myself very unorganised. It takes me 10 seconds with the frames. Well worth the extra expense.
