Now that we have had a good thread concerning LE's and what good/harm they may do the hobby, let me open another can of worms.
Most collectors concentrate their collecting interest in some ways, but I think it can be somewhat safe to assume that one common thread is that their collectibles come from "casinos". However, this is not the only source of either gaming related chips or tokens.
One only needs to look at the very numerous tokens issued for use in slot machines by military clubs (There are over 2,000 different just from military clubs that operated during our occupation of Vietnam!). For you chippers, there are even some chips which were used primarly in Black Jack games and clubs even had "Las Vegas Nights" with various games issued. There is even gaming related script which is about related to the above.
So, just when you think you had it all, or want something new and different to collect, there is plently out there to pick from.
If you would like some additional information, feel free to give me an e-mail.
Thanks!
John
