I agree it's a problem. I get sick of wading through all of these new 11.5 gram sets when I am searching for old collectable chips. The problem is the sellers since they are already listing these new sets under "individual, collectable, chips" where they do not belong.

For simplicity sake, if we were going to propose new categories I would limit it to a few since sellers don't always know what they have.

1. Casino chips - from an actual identifiable North American casino or boat.
2. Home poker chips - all of these 8.5, 11.5, 13 gram stuff flodding the market.
3. Antique (other) - Crest & Seal, engraved, embossed, illegals, and UFCs.
4. Foreign

I'm sure I missed something but I think the simpler the better.
