If you are willing to throw your money down a hole and really enjoy collecting Casino Chips, go ahead and just enjoy it. And hope that if you buy the high end Casino chips that your average investment will in the long run go up even if a whole box of chips turn up and your " rare chip " becomes not so rare anymore. There is nothing wrong with collecting current chips from the Casino cage if that's what you like. Everybody doesn't have the disposable income to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Casino chip collection. I know I don't !
And Lewis, unless you are an expert coin collector you could still get screwed with your slabbed coins.
