OK, as it's a new year, I thought I would list my areas of collecting, and a couple of specific chips and keys that I am looking for. No idea if anyone has any, but I'd be interested if you do.

UK chips : Basically anything that I don't have. I am up to around 1,300 chips and so have most common issues, but there are always some I need. I prefer to buy, but have a small selection to trade. I prefer clay chips and so would be willing to trade some of my jetons, some of which are not easy to find, for some of the better chips. In particular, the Hard Rock London 50p chip (white, not green), Annabelle's chips that I need, Grosvenor £1 Millennium issues, Kursaal Southend chips, Garon's chips, Brent Walker chips, Brandon's chips, Carlton £5, Kings £1, Mecca chips, older Rubicon issues, Torquay (not the £1) are all ones that I know are out there that I need!

Vegas : I collect house $5, one per casino. Most of what I need are probably higher value, but if anyone is looking for harder to find UK jetons I may be up for a trade! I have a list if anyone is interested.

Other Nevada : I'm looking for chips with the following locations on them : Austin, Bordertown, Caliente, Contact, Golconda, Zephyr Cove, Southpoint, McGill, Mill City, Mina, Mount Charleston, Mountain City, PIttman, Pleasant Valley, Tule Springs, Yerington. I prefer $5 chips, but any nice looking chip would work!

Other foreign : I am trying to find one CIC from every country around the globe. I already have many of the common ones, including Caribbean Islands, but I know there must be others. Countries/locations that I am sure have issued CICs that I need include Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, Ireland but there are no doubt others.

Paris Las Vegas room keys : A new area of collecting so many I need, especially those issued for conventions (will pay $5 for convention keys that I need).

Paris roulettes : Again, a new area and I have around 50%, but many that I still need.

Have a good collecting year everyone - if I find just a few new chips I will be happy, and hope you all have the same success, and more importantly you and your families have a great New Year together.
