Hello Gene, nice to see you're still with us. I've been collecting chips since 1989. I started concentrating on casino chips. In that year, on a junket, I decded to visit (mainly walking) every place in Las Vegas that had a craps table to get (unfortuantely) the lowest denomination chip at one of their craps tables, some as low as 25 cents. At Caesars, I think, the lowest was a one dollar slot token. When I got home, I went to flea markets and antiques shows looking for casino chips, but couldn't find many in the East, so I concentrated on poker chips, gambling memorabilia and playing card decks, and casino chips when they popped up. I never thought of methodically looking for the POA monograms in red, white, blue and yellow till Dave Smith and others posted here, about a year or two ago, that they were looking for various monograms and colors, so I decided to (1) get the POA alphabet in those colors, (2) list my dupe monograms for sale in case some wanted to collect the letters of their names, and (3) get the other series of monograms in just one chip of each letter regardless of colors. I recently picked up this POB-series monogram in B, a first for me:

Here is another neat series -- engraved scroll monograms. You can see what I am missing:
