I set up my UK website for just that reason - I couldn't find much info anywhere else.
I have been fortunate that so many other people have sent me information and chip scans which I have tried to add when I get them (currently a couple of weeks behind!). It's also a good way of cataloging my collection in case I ever have to claim on my insurance for some reason - it was hard enough finding someone in the UK to actually offer me insurance at all, but finally managed it through a company that specialises in insuring stamp collections.
If you need any info, email me and I may be able to help on UK items, although I tend to collect chips rather than plaques and jetons, although I have a few that I've picked up along the way.
It can be difficult collecting outside of the US, although the up side is that if you do find rare items, they tend to be cheaper than US because there are less collectors - I have a number of chips which, because of their rarity, I would never be able to afford if they were from Nevada.
Good luck with your collecting
Jason
