Let me begin on introducing myself to other fellow Canada collectors. My name is Justin Leger, and I am probably one of the youngest collectors out there (most likely). I currently live in Ontario Canada, about 40 minutes away from Quebec which has roughly 10+ casinos around me. I have been collecting for about 4-5 years now. At first I was only collecting 1$ chips from every where, but then I saw a local ad on KIJIJI ( if your from Canada you know what this is ) a guy from Toronto was selling his Canada collection, so from then on I wanted to only collect Canada chips. As my passion for chip collecting grew and knowing more about chips I realized that the Canadien chip collecting community was lacking sources. I'm helping another Canada collector put something together for us Canadiens so that communication, trading, and selling is easier and more effective. We will know if any new rack came out or new limited edition chips.. For example : I have a 1$-5$ playground poker wpt chip ( only on the floor for 2 WEEEKS!!! Due to size 40mm ..standard is 39mm ) , also 1$ tapis vert from Quebec only had chips for 5 WEEKS!!... No Canadian collector should miss out on these ..
That's why we're trying to put something together for us Canada collectors
We want to create ZONES for collectors who live in Canada , so each collector would be responsible for casinos in their area,
Example:
I live near - lac LEMAY ( hour away )
- playground poker ( hour away )
- snakes poker ( hour away )
- montreal casino ( hour away )
- el jumelgi ( hour away )
- mont tremblant ( 2 hours away )
- thousand island ( 2 hours away )
- tapis vert ( 2 hours away )
- great blue heron ( 5 hours away ).....i still never been ( going in 3 weeks tho )
- brantford casino ( 5 hours away ) .....i still never been ( going in 3 weeks tho )
So this is my ZONE.. I would take care of all these except the last two .. So if something did come up and another collector wanted one he would pay at cost and only pay for shipping .There shouldn't be a reason why Canadians can't help each other out .... It is true Canadians are nice .. So lets put Canada back on the MAP!!
