Hello, and welcome to the chip board and the wonderful world of chip collecting. There are many on this board who will be more than glad to help you with your questions. A good start would be the website here - http://www.ccgtcc.com/reference.html. Also, if you want to join the club, you can go to the membership page and fill out an application. We have an awesome convention every year in Las Vegas and you will see more chips and other memorabilia than you ever knew existed, as well as getting to meet some really great people. Also, from time to time, some members will offer you a nice chip as an incentive to join. Good luck and good chipping!
