Thank you for the advise, there are a few to Aruba, will try and post pics soon. My mom is helping me to catagorize them by state and casino ( although she is as much of a novice as I am.) I know a few of the players club chips from the 50s have value as well as the sets from closed casinos, even though it isn't much above face value. I spoke to a dealer in California and because 99% of the chips are collection series? He was willing to offer 1.25 per chip for the lot. I know this is much less than if I tried selling them myself, but having lost my travel/gambling buddy I may have no choice, as there are zero dealers here in Dallas, and I have no time to consider eBay

Thanks again,
Angie
