Scott I have to say that I could not agree more with the above statements. Being relatively new to the club, I too have been amazed at the amount of time theses collectors are willing to spend teaching us new guys!
I seem to remember a post of yours whereby you mentioned that you are from the Toronto area. I live in the GTA. Do you know any other chip collectors in our area? I would love to have some people to trade and comapre stories with. I know of only one.

IF anyone out there is a collector in the Toronto area LMK.
