Mark & Travis have hit upon a great idea. The problem is that most people seem to think that they don't have time to devote to such a project. With all the club members on this BB who have scanners now (I'm seriously considering purchasing one for myself in the very near future), one does not have to set up an elaborate display of actual fantasy chips at the convention to serve the stated purpose of educating the new collector or uninformed observer. A tri-fold foam project board that can be purchased at Staples for around $7 which could easily hold hundreds of scanned illustrations of fantasy/fake/bogus chips that is easily transportable from show to show, room to room, meeting to meeting, etc. If someone would like to undertake the project, I'm sure that the CC>CC Board would consider underwriting all the expenses of putting such a display togther. It could be a travelling exhibit that would be available to any casino collectibles show or even a meeting at a Chapter that would be willing to provide the space to set it up. CC>CC would have custody of the display and would pay all shipping costs around the country upon request. Any volunteers willing to take on this worthwhile project?? Archie
