and by old guys I mean those that have been collecting and researching for a long time.

Something Aaron mentioned rang true with me and that was the stories about the illegal clubs piques my interest more than the big casino or legit casino chips. So my question is if I had a chip or two that had not been identified, where do you start to identify it? How were the rest located and identified?

are there certain molds that only clubs could/can get? Like getting an H & C mold would be tought for a home poker game (or costly)

tracking down illegal chips would interest me to no end, i fear. My girlfriend will probably take my computer away from me within a week.

thanks
