Hi to all.

New CC>CC member here and I'm new to this forum. Have been soaking up your wisdom over the past couple of weeks.

As my newfound hobby takes hold, I get some nice surprises. Now my weekly home poker game players think of me in their travels. Last night I got 2 $5 Trop AC chips and a $1 Hooters LV as small gifts. Another player said he has an Oklahoma chip he will bring for me next week.

Ain't life grand!

Hope to meet some you in Vegas in a couple of weeks. Will be looking to learn from all of you about collecting my choice of chips: US chips with shaped inlays, with special emphasis on Nevada casinos and house molds.
