We will only really know when the economy is in a boom period again. If the chip marked it still the way it is now, then we will know. I hope the hobby rebounds, but I do have my doubts. I know I will still collect what I love, though, and I hope the hard core collectors do too. I have never collected as an investment. As long as casinos remain popular, though, there is hope that the hobby will regain the strength it once had.
