I have not joined the club, but plan on doing so in the near future. The people on this board have been nothing but professional to me. I think your reasoning for not joining the club is short-sighted, but I could be wrong.

Everyone I have dealt with on the board have a common goal of advancing the hobby of chip/casino collecting. They have done a great job. I think many of the issues that arise on this board are because these great individuals really CARE for this hobby.

THAT IS WHY I WILL BE JOINING IN THE NEAR FUTURE
