You know that's actually not as far off as it sounds. I have probably 50 or more scans in my CyberGuide of chips that I don't own. At least that way I can show collectors what a chip looks like even when I don't own it.

Many of the high denomination chips in my guide were scanned for me by Paul Hegge who is kind enough to actually take a scanner and a portable computer with him on his chip runs. He buys the high denoms, takes them to his car or hotel room where he scans them for me, and returns the chips to the casinos later.
