Thanks for all the responses so far. This board gets a lot of traffic and I've enjoyed reading it every day during the last month.

I myself have been casually collecting for over the last 15 years or so. I usually picked up tokens and chips from the various casinos I've visited.

Currently, I have a small collection of around 170 chips with 1/2 from Nevada and 1/2 from Colorado. I've started a modest Hard Rock chip collection and also focus primarily on Black Hawk and Central City Colorado Chips. I also sign-up for slot club cards in most places as well.

I currently have just a few traders as I've mostly only collected one of everything so far. (I'll learn quick though to get multiples so that trading will be more possible!)

I'm also starting a web site for my chips and traders. Should be ready for prime-time soon.

My favorite chip is the one pictured below - call it a birthday present for myself. (Sorry - not for sale)
