At least you know how many chips exist.
In Response To: Chip Collecting ()

Most $5 chips sell for $7.50 / $8.00

Not a big investment ......

What got me started collecting limited editions

and away from older chips, was my brother-in-law.

He bought a Thuinderbird / mustard color chip

for $250.00 A month later that same chip was

selling for 50. Someone had found a box or 2.

Plus you buy a $25 chip limited to 100 that

is it. This is why I really like the $25 chips

of old. Now most $25 are limited to 500 or more.

I think the $25 chips are a steal at 28 to 30

dollars, what they sell for on Ebay.

Plus think about this!

A guy 21 years old, will most likely start collecting casino chips from a casino he has gone too.

Palms, Rio, etc. Rather than old chips from a
place and time, he never went to.

Each chip holds a certain memory with it.

That 21 year old might get a $1 Sands chip, but
he has no real feel for what that chip holds.

Sure you can see pictures, read stories, but the
chip is THE story.

Wow ............. know I want to start collecting

old chips! But then again, I'm not 21 but 51.
