CHIP TIPS

CHIP TIPS FOR CHIP COLLECTORS

BUY, SELL & TRADE


MANY OF YOU PROBABLY WONDERED IF I WAS A DEALER. THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE; WHEN IT COMES TO “CHIPPIN”.
I WOULD HAVE GONE BANKRUPT THE FIRST YEAR I WENT ON THE CHIPBOARD ADD THE FACT I DO NOT EVEN DO EBAY; AND EACH EVERY YEAR THAT FOLLOWED.
MANY YEARS AGO IN THE COMIC BOOK COLLECTING HOBBY, I LEARNED THE FINE ART OF “BUY, SELL & TRADE”. ONCE I MADE THE PLUNGE IN 1995 TO BE A CHIP COLLECTOR, I REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE HOBBY OF CHIP COLLECTING WITH OUT SUPPLEMENTING IT WITH SOME SALES AND TRADES.
SO, SOMEWHERE AROUND 1996 I DISCOVERED THE CHIP BOARD, THE BLOG BOARD THAT GREG SUSONG SO CAREFULLY ORGANIZED AND PUT TOGETHER FOR US NOVICE COLLECTORS TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. I IMMEDIATELY SOUGHT OUT THOSE THAT WERE WILLING TO TRADE, AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK VERY WELL FOR ME.
I ALSO REALIZED WHEN TRAVELING I NEEDED TO BUY MORE THAN ONE CHIP TO INCREASE MY TRADER INVENTORY. THE REST OF THE STORY HAS BEEN RECORDED ON THE CHIP BOARD. BTW, MOST CHIP DEALERS WON’T CONSIDER TRADING. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME THAT DO, AND THEY GET BOTH MY TRADES & CASH.
I REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS TO GET STARTED ON A LIMITED BUDGET, AND BEING A BLUE COLLAR WORKER MUCH OF MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER HAD A LOT OF MONEY TO POUR INTO MY COLLECTION, SO I IMPROVISED BY, TRADING AND SELLING.
IF ANY ONE IS INTERESTED AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HOW I WENT FROM 100 CHIPS TO OVER 10,000 IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES AND THOUGHTS.
SINCERELY YOUR TRADER FRIEND, REGGIE

NEWS

I will be messing around with my layout until I finally find a good fit for everything. If any of you have some strays that you feel will sell on the chip board; but you do not have the time nor, the patience to do deal with them let me know, send me some images and I will try to make a deal with you.

Starting the first of the year I will be adding “ho hum” re-runs of my joker collection and all of my harvest stories; both by me and by all of my guest authors. It should take several months or even years for me to show these again doing it only on Saturdays. Hope all of you enjoy them in the coming months. If you have any really unusual Jokers; please send scans and prices. Also, if any of you guest authors are up to pen some more (or your first) “Harvest Stories” please by all means do so. Will be adding the Chip Tips for further re-runs of my editorials.

Nancy is doing well; being the busy person she is, add a new baby to her side of the family (her nephew Richard Vetter the II has produced Richard Vetter the III.) We are having a bit of a cold snap here in Florida. I think it disillusioned a few of our snow birds. Also, I no longer drive. The neurophathy in my feet dis-allows me to do so. Nancy drives me everywhere now-a-days.
