For almost a full-year (virtually from the time I discovered this hobby) I planned to go to the 2011 Convention. But due to an unexpected illness, since February, I am here sitting at home instead of my first trip to the Convention (and my first trip to Vegas)

I hope to have all my traders organized and pictures taken of them in the next few days (at the very least this weekend).

I am very depressed ... but maybe those chip collectors whom are also stuck at home (because of illness, work or $$), will trade chips with me (once I have them posted).

'nuff said ...

Happy Chippin'

p.s. I collect Personals, Canadian, Washington, California, and Colorado chip ... so if you have some traders from these areas, maybe put some of them aside for a potential trade this week.
