CHIP OF THE DAY - What Kind of Chips Can I Collect?

Welcome to the second of what I hope will be many Monday-Friday postings. I'll be giving you a sneak peak at the more than 100 chips from the article I'm writing for the "Casino Collectable News". Because so many great chips will be left out of my articles these posts will include "If you like this chip what else could you collect that is similar?" pictures & information. Each COTD & its friends will be saved into a PDF with high-resolution scans. Once we get thru all of the chips the end result will be a 100+ page book called

....drum roll please... "What Kind of Chips Can I Collect?" which will be freely available to all CCTGCC members and Chip Board participants.

I welcome any suggestions, feedback & most importantly corrections.
So, without further delay here is the Chip Of The Day - What Kind of Chips Can I Collect? for 9/28/2012!
