I started out with stamps, sea shells, fossils, and rocks when I was a kid and later with covered wagon items and images, thinking I have the largest collection in the whole world (really), including books on Pacific NW history and copies of pioneer settler's diaries and books by Pacific NW authors. Moved to antique poker chips in 1998, things from Seymour's "Antique Gambling Chips" and specializing in all chips and tokens from Oregon. Somehow got in there collecting bakelite chips and containers, rare and hard to find chip containers, Viking Ship images, rare and endangered beans. Gawd, a hopeless case I am.
