Travis; I was glad to see that David Ganz (a good personal friend of Brenda and me) gave you permission to reprint his excellent article on the BB. While Mr. Ganz' speaks about coins on the internet, we could just as easily substitute "chips" everywhere the word "coins" appears in his essay. By the way, and for the record, David Ganz is a former President of the American Numismatic Association and he was very instrumental in getting the Gaming classification approved by the ANA Board of Governors for exhibits at the annual summer ANA conventions.
