Hello Chuck....

The first 54 years of my life, I never collected anything. Went to Vegas many many times over the years, I always looked at the different chips, but never was smart enough to take any home

It wasn't until eBay, that I discovered the whole new world of chip collecting...I started out picking up chips when I was in vegas, then selling them on ebay...it wasn't long before I realised that you have to actually LIVE there to make this work.

My collecting started with the Vegas casinos that I frequented, soon expanded to several others....then I realised that I couldn't get limited edition chips unless I had pull at the right places or ALOT of $$$, so I gradually lost interest in Vegas chips (except the Hard Rock) and started collecting the local Indian Casinos and some Card Rooms in my area (Southern Calif)......and NOW I'm after the Vegas OBS LOL.....soooooo, it's been a Wild Ride for me, but wherever you find your "nitch" in this hobby...it's not only one of the most addicting things you will ever do, but it's good fun at the same time.
