Ken, it would seem to me that if one were to collect "all" LE chips issued by "all" casinos, then that would indeed be overwhelming quickly. However, in more established lines of collecting, such as stamps and coins, we observe that collectors specialize. It is only the dealers that carry as much variety as possible, and even they are not able to have some of everything (not even close, I should think). If we extrapolate from this, it would appear that the chip collectors of the near future would specialize on only a given number of casinos (Laughlin maybe, or all Harrah's, if that is possible) or themes (Halloween, say). Sellers will probably also have to specialize more since the cost of inventory they need to carry would be prohibitive otherwise.
