Greetings & Welcom to the board! As Roy said the $20 is a bargain, the magazine is well worth more than the dues! I am new to the club and to chip collecting as well. My collection has doubled since I found this place. The people here are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the field. For the length of time I have been frequenting here I have really enjoyed the people and actually absorbed a little knowledge cbout chips, jetons, and plaques. Come here often ... its habit forming!
