Below one person posted about being in the hobby for one year and another posted about getting their 1000th chip. These two posts got me kind of curious about people in the hobby. I thought it would be interesting if fellow collectors answered the following questions on the board:

1. What do you collect?

2. How many chips, etc. do you have?

3. How long have you been collecting?

4. What got you started in collecting?

My answers:

1. I collect mainly Las Vegas Strip and Downtown $1 and limited editions from these casinos.

2. I have about 525 chips.

3. I have been collecting about 3½ years.

4. I used to collect shot glasses from casinos and other places we vacationed and they started getting more expensive and taking up too much
space. On one trip to Vegas, I went into Binion’s Horseshoe when they were switching over to Binion’s and I thought it would be fun to get a couple of $1 chips to have.
