What area do you live in? I live on the west coast and had a lot of Atlantic City chips I had gotten at and antique fair. I found that I couldn't find anyone in my area that collected A.C. Chips. It was impossible for me to trade. So I sold them at the last convention. It is a lot easier to collect chips that come from the area that you live. They will be found in so many places. Antique/junk stores, garage sales, flea markets and coin shops are my favorites. I love to pick up chips that have initials on them for a buck or 2... And try to figure out where they came from. If i can't, I'll post them here. There are so many generous people here with a wealth of knowledge willing to help. It's also kind of fun to do the research on unknown chips. Best wishes.
