I know I’ve been breathing a lot of your air lately but I totally agree.

I purely stand from a collector point of wanting to grow the hobby.
The chipquide in my mind is the best tools to make the hobby legit. Of course it’s not perfect nothing is but it’s been the reason why I deceide to introduce myself because I’ve been browsing for years and years on ebay and seeing so much charlatan trying to sell generic chips pretending to be real casinos that it convinced me that some sort of association that could legitimize that hobby.
I do not say that all the sellers on ebay are fraudulent in fact most of my collection I bought from many of well known members of ccgtcc through ebay. Personally I prefer dealing collector to another instead of always giving a commission to ebay.

Thanks
