To start, I thought it would be nice to have two categories, so everyone who wants to can join in. The second chip show is for chips from clubs or casinos that were never properly licensed: illegal or underground joints! Since, in the chipping world, illegals seems to indicate chips from illegal club/casinos from a certain era (roughly pre-1960), I use the term underground to refer to those more recent unlicensed clubs, especially those that popped up after Rounders, Chris Moneymaker and the on-line poker booms.

Here are some of my favorite undeground chips from the NY metro area:

If you have any that you don't see above, please contact me. If no dups to trade or sell, I would at least like to see what you have.

Here are some other illegals and underground chips:

OK. Let's see what you've got.
