I see a couple of the guys have directed you to the FAQ already. You can use the link below to visit it if you haven't found it already.

I've been collecting for about 4 months now. Be prepared to want to spend every spare nickle on chips. It's HIGHLY addictive.

And it's REALLY easy to spend more than you should. You'll find yourself rationalizing purchasing those Hard Rock chips... "It's only $8. I'll just skip lunch." Next it will be... "It's only $24, and it's a rare one! I'll just go sell some plasma after work."

THEN, if you get into collecting obsolete chips, it'll be "It's only $125, and it's valued at $150 - what a bargain! I don't really need deoderant and toothpaste do I? And I can re-use paper towels to save money too."

Of course, you can just do like me and seriously consider taking a 2nd job to pay for your chipping habit .

Welcome to the party!
