concerned with investing. In my area, the Caribbean, harder to find chips have maintained their value and even gone up in many cases. Not true for everything. The older chips often look great, are obsolete and have history, even if they do not have the largest number of people collecting them. And you have the added value that you have something that most chip collectors don't, even if you are not a big spender. Also, there are the legal casinos with mob connections to spice things up. I like the old Nevada stuff, just like most do, but I don't intend to switch my collecting focus just because certain chips have more value.

JMHO.
