all the other chips out there may make the rare Nevada chips even rarer,because of the greater amount of others makes the rare Nevada chips a very small number to be collected.Comes to another thing, the rarer chips are almost unattainable anyway because only 1-15 collectors have the R-8 R-9 R-10 chips. I am having a hard time finding some of the last Stateline Country Club chips with the High values.Anyway gives collectors more to collect,coin collectors love the state quarters and others and millions of those are minted every year,but people still buy and collect them.So I don't really know what to say except chips come in all sizes, shapes, colors,countries,values,rarities and we need more than 1-15 chip collectors in the world to buy and collect chips,not just people in Nevada,but I hope people all over the world will start to collect as well.Thank you for loving Nevada chips,just like I love my California and my Nevada and my Tahoe and my Cuba and my Atlantic City and some other states and countries as well.I understand your passion and concern but don't isolate your self into a corner,let the hobby expand and grow.There are people and chips everywhere, we want to get interested in the hobby.I better stop and say Thank you again for your concern and opinion,Torrey
