I has been collecting chips for a long time, on and off, buying chips when I had a little extra money and off when I didn't.
I Retired and then moved to Las Vegas, in 2003, invest my money in Real Estate and took me about 5 years to start playing with my chips again.
My main interest is Cuban Chips, and when the housing market came down I lost lots of money so I wasn't able to buy any more Cuban Chips, their prices went way up, but then I change and started collecting Santa Fe Station Chips, I live halh a mile from the Casino, and Caribbean, their prices were more affordable to me.
Now, I got a large collection of Caribbean, still buy a Cuban chip when I find one at the right price, and also collect $2.50's
What I was getting at, is than all that time I did keep my membership, and my friends, and I'm a proud member of the Club, number R-2521, and I'll see you guys at the Convention.
