Hi All.......I have been collecting for about two years. On my computer desk is a copy of The Official US Casino Chip Price Guide. It is what I look at as I bounce around eBay looking at chips.
I should say here that I routinely buy chips under $75, and occasionally chips in the $75-$150 range. The most I have ever spent on a single chip is $225, but I could definitely see spending more if the conditions were right.

I have held off purchasing The Chip Rack. At first it was because I didn't want to pony up another $40+ for a guide. As time has passed, though, I see some clear disparities (both ways) in The Price Guide prices and what some of these chips actually sell for. I know the guide is just a guide, but I am starting to thing some more reference might be a good idea. Then I started to wonder if I should just wait for the next edition to come out, as I think the last Chip Rack edition came out in 2004.

So the question is A) Should I have both and B) Should I wait for the next edition?

Any advice is appreciated.
