First, the clarification -- Peter Morton owns the Hard Rock Hotel but has nothing to do with any of the Hard Rock Cafes (with the exception of the LV site). So the HR Cafe people are the ones pumping out those zillions of chips. I bought the ones for the Manchester and London Casinos but have no desire to buy the ones from the individual HR Cafes.

As for collecting the HRH chips, I think that I may be joining you as an "ex-Hard Rock collector". I've been fortunate enough to be complete on the $5 chips and I was looking to possibly even purchase the two $25 chips missing from my collection. I think that this seals the deal...now my $5 collection won't even be whole!!

I have learned through the wisdom of many on this board to collect what you like. I liked the Hard Rock chips...but this really sours me on continuing to collect their chips. It's a real shame. Steve B
