"I do pick up a chip if it has a unique or unusual design or if it is an event that is truely special or if it is something that is uniquely gaming or Vegas related. There is no way though that I would, or could, buy all the chips that they come out with."

You hit the nail on the head with that statement! People should just collect what appeals to them. Just because one person does not like a certain chip does not mean others might not like it. VERY few people in this hobby can collect ALL the LE's issued, so a person should just collect what looks good to them & enjoy the hobby.

As for.....

"We have heard on this board about a broker who has a cash reserve in the bank of about $10,000 so that he can buy new releases when they come out."

Whoever that person is they better get some more money in that "cash reserve"! $10,000 won't cut it!

A very good post as usual, William! Andy - Las Vegas
