I started the same way. I learned that plastic flips with PVC in them are not good for some types of chips. Chipcos with red in them will bleed onto many surfaces, especially PVC flips. PVC flips will stick to the printing on full graphic Bud Jones chips. The best way to store chips is in air-tites. JP's Corner sells direct fits in quantity for about 35 cents each. The best way to enjoy your collection is to scan the chips and put them into a page layout program like Adobe In-Design, and/or put them on the Internet. Check out my website for an example.
