Hi Dan
I can perceive a little desperation in your posting to start having the "good" chips in your collection. I too got to that point and probably overpaid for a lot of chips I don't even really collect. The truth is you will never get everything and the key here is patience. Many people posting here have been collecting for years if not devades and sure they have great chips in their collection but some of these were probably purchased for a lot less than they are worth today. For forty dollars you can buy a great chip for your collevtion. I believe you should go for quality not quantity. Anyway that's my two pesos worth.
Have a great day.
