Hello everyone:

Well, it was one year ago today that I discovered the hobby of chip collecting.
It was on this day, that I came across a small stack of MOLSON CANADIAN chips at a local thrift store, and within days became and addict to this hobby.

365 days later, I feel so blessed to have met many chippers (via email) and have around 1500 chips in my collection. With over 125 trades and nearly as many true new friends.

I want to thank everyone who contacted me during this my first year in the hobby. Its the people in the hobby that makes the hobby, and chip collectors are the very best.

I look forward to meeting many of you at this years convention.

As many of you know, I most enjoy trading chips. I collect chips from California, Colorado, Washington state and Canada. If you would like to trade some chips, on this my 1st year anniversary in the hobby, feel free and send me an email.

Below is a picture of my business "MISSION TICKET CENTRE", located in the Mission area of Kelowna BC Canada.

Happy Chipping,
And All the very best to my chipper friends,

Derek Bistricky R-8169
