The first time I exhibited chips was at FUN in 1997 where my 4-case exhibit theme was bringing Dale Seymour's book to life; Ivory case, MOP case, Jetons/Plaques case and Poker chips case... The following year I did all MOP. During the nite there was a very bad rainstorm and the roof leaked (exactly over my cases) but I was lucky because a security guard took plastic sheeting and she covered my whole display (bless her heart)... Made lots of contacts with visiting Europeans because of the displays... and the rest is history...
