Archie, this ain't a public p---ing contest. It also isn't a question of "you collect what you want, and I'll collect what I want". It IS a queston of how legitimate chip collectors collect their chips, and how the casinos view it. When a casino will let me purchase a stack of roulettes, let me know. Until then, what you have advocated as "preserving history" is advocating stealing from the casino. Given the limited number of colors for any table, a standard roulette chip isn't "free for the taking" (my quotes).

You take what you want, I'll buy what I want. It isn't that hard to figure out a difference....

I really wish this conversation didn't have to happen.
