I do recall that Andy was active & creative in recruiting new members back in the day.
But he had an additional secret weapon as well ...

Andy had / has a website "Nevada Casino Chips" that sold new issues and older chips too. A cornucopia of chips and history info and other good stuff. It was among my primary "go to" stops for chips, as I'm sure he will attest. I even won a contest or two that he'd post from time to time.

While he's not actively selling any longer, the website is still up and has some interesting stuff there. His personal collection of Nevada $5 chips is quite extensive. For newer chippers that weren't aware, check it out sometime at:

Thanks Andy
