I believe it was even before Casinorama started they had a shop in the visitors center in Reno. I lived in Reno in 86 or 87 and would trade for tokens with Dean and Jodi. I feel he is the one who really got me into chips. He always had interesting stuff to look at and the colorful chips caught my eye. When I moved back to Vegas Harvey Fuller stopped by a yard sale I was having. I bought chips from the trunk of his car. Here I am trying to make a buck at my own yard sale but spent it all buying chips at $2 to $7 (Last Frontier/Silver Slipper $100's) for my beginning collection.
