Come on Bruce, look around. I've only been collecting about 6 months, but it is obvious to me that there are a number of casinos that are putting out new chips at, what seems like, one every 2 weeks. One of the first things a wise old collector told me was "You can't collect them all, so collect the ones you like". Don't blame Gene on this one. His job includes providing a product collectors want to acquire, and obviously he is doing it well. My final thought is that, if your goal is to collect every $25 & $100 cheque that Las Vegas produces, you had better be prepared to spend some money.(You notice I waited 'till Gene was out of town to say nice things about him -- wouldn't want him to get a big head.)
