Welcome to the hobby. I've been collecting now for about 3 months and am approaching 300 chips, so be prepared for a big addiction. It's a wonderful hobby full of incredible people (most of whom you'll find right here).

I created a Beginner's FAQ to help answer common questions for new chippers (that's what you are now ). You can reach the FAQ via the link below.

Again, welcome, and let me know if I can help you further.
