As you have probably been told, in addition to friends (and you'll find many in the association)
you need a few bucks. When you start buying $1.
obsolete chips for $50. each, you'll understand.
Unfortunately, you are listing trading chips which
are probably only worth face value. (I know, I
have many Florida off-shore $1. & $5. chips which
I can't sell for face value plus postage.) It is
a fascinating collecting hobby, however, so set
a "goal" - such as a $1. Chip from every currently
operating casino. Go on Amazon & order "American
Casino Guide - 2003 Edition", just to get an idea
of the number of operating casinos presently existing. I am a relatively new collector, also,
and some times marvel at the "free information"
available from other members.
