Jimbo,
Everyone must decide for themselves what to collect. Personally, I collect $5 and down.
The Palms is very aware and grateful to the chip collectors of the world. We also try to give back to the hobby, where possible.

That said, our chips are used in nation wide advertising campaigns. They reach a huge secondary market of people the Palms is marketing to. Hundreds of people will be there for The Playboy 50th Anniversary weekend including playmates and Hugh Hefner.
