~~~ and recent (50-60 years) history shows us the collection variety has diminished and cannot continue to not do so, further -- especially seeing how much has disappeared from the game (tables and one-way) which many are no longer there and, those which do pop up once in a while are very few -- and I only refer to the US (Caribbian) and Nevada, without even mentioning Europe which is seeing huge cutbacks of product type for collectors.

As far as values go... not too sure that can be a good thing.

So; yes, chips will be around for way more than 10-15 years -- but the variety will not...

...and, let's all be around then to talk about what we "used to collect" and ain't being made no more...
