I started viewing the ChipTalk website on the first day it came online. Some very good discussions happened on the site, and some very good products came from it, like the Paulson Pharaoh chips, of which I bought a 1000 piece home set. The site also facilitated probably the most beautiful home chip I've ever seen in the Samurai Club, where Blue Chip actually created a custom mold for the group buy. I learned much about the quality of home chips and cards from the members on the site. As Andi said, there is not alot of discussion on collector chips, but there is a wealth of knowledge on the site.

I don't visit as much as before, simply because of how big the site has become. If you visit once a day, there are usually over 500 unread posts waiting for you. I check in now and then, but it's simply overwhelming now.

ChipTalk is a major force/influence in the home chip market, in my opinion.
