John,
Even if you don't collect them get them for trade. I pick up a Playboy ashtray yesterday at a flea market. My wife told me you don't smoke why you need an ashtray for? I posted it a while ago look what I got tons of best offers, but my heart goes to Miss Katie.
Last week I bought from a old magzine stores 16 Atlantic City obs for $6.00 each and you know what was in the lot. Resorts International which sells about $275.00, Playboys chip selling at $90.00 two them, and the rest are history.
Never pass a chip. Two weeks ago I went to a flea market with my wife. I usually bring a page of my collection in 20 pockets. One guy said I think I may I one for you. Went in and brought out a box went through it twice found one old Harrah's chip. You can have it for two dollars he said. No I don't need that, then he said how about $1.50. I then said I will be very happy to give you $1.00. He then said if that makes you happy you can have it for $1.00. I saw the chip and it is in my wanted list at $28.00 at the collectible stores.
