Though I have not read your article as yet, please allow me to say thanks for contributing to our fine publication... Thanks!

1• Regarding the "Gaming Token" portion of your post, I see no problem with us being closely identified by the term Gaming Token since they were a part of gaming not only in the USA, but the world over. In fact, I would venture to say that there are more Gaming Token (slot machine tokens) collectors worldwide than table chip/check collectors.

2• No matter what we call ourselves on paper; universally, we are known as "The Chip Club" to thousands...

3• I agree that the more the merrier... but I see no correlation between our club name and lack of membership interest...
