Welcome Dave.

Although there are many price guides targeting very specific areas of collecting (i.e., Montana, Atlantic city, California, etc) there are two main price guides:

The Chip Rack (TCR) which is exclusively Nevada chips. Very thick two volume set.

"Officical Price guide" which covers the entire country. Majority of this guide is Nevada, but also covers all of the other main areas such as the Dakota, riverboats, etc. This guide has pictures as well of many chips.

As I mentioned before, there are many, many other price guides out there.

Since you are new, I would recommend signing up for the club's free "Mentoring Program" There you can matched up with an experienced collector who you can ask questions and get direction and guidance. Just fill out the application and send it in. Click the below link to see.

Again, welcome.

Both are excellent.
