Illegal Of The Day Connecticut

Since no one complained about advise yesterday, here is some more. vbg

For roughly 38 years I collected every chip from anywhere that crossed my path.
In roughly 2000, I started cutting back on the areas I collect. First to go was Atlantic City. Second was old Nevada. I saw a few things I did not like in the old NV market. Except for The Palms, I only do new $1 Las Vegas at this time. Third was Riverboats, California, and Indian Casinos.
I still get a few foreign chips if the price or trades is right.

At this time my main collecting habits are Borland chips, Illegal’s, manufactures samples-promo chips, and the personal CCGTCC chips.

Illegal’s was the easiest choice. It is “the history stupid.” Have roughly 3,000 with ID’s.
At this time I am close to 2,200 CCGTCC personals. This collection has been willed to the Club.
The Borland collection is now 775 different. Spragg and I went together to put this one together. You can read the Borland story on Spragg’s site.
Have well over 3,100 manufactures samples-promo chips. I love these things and have access to most new ones that come out.

The point:

Make a decision early on in your “what to collect” life. Focus on certain areas of collecting. For various reasons (including the wife), it is way too easy to over collect. vbg I think collecting for investment is a bad way to look at our hobby. If the price is too high on something you want, wait it out, more will show up. They always do. Collect what you like and have fun with a rewarding hobby.

Connecticut:

I needed an easy one today. Have a lot to do today.
This is the only one I have from Connecticut.

No research on it yet. Could be a home game but with 2 orders could very well be an illegal.
I have 3 colors, need the white if anyone has traders.

There is a green one just like this one. It has a different ID. It is a Minneapolis, MN chip.
