Dear John, why makes you think our hobby is healthy? .... in my downtown Las Vegas store ... almost everyday I get calls from elderly people wanting to sell their chips and retire from collecting .... ask any Casino Cage Manager about the amount of people wanting to cash in their chips for redemption. The full graphic commemorative chips have become pogs .... the Casinos keep cranking them out .... and when the sell out ... they quietly produce more to make a buck! We need some immediate steps taken to keep growing our membership. Take care
