Welcome to the club! I'm sure it will not take too much time in reading this board to find that you are dealing with many great people, from all walks of life, who enjoy gathering, buying, holding, collecting, categorizing, showing off and, occasionally, selling a few of these things we call casino chips and tokens. We also love collecting related items such as ashtrays, swizzle sticks, room keys, brochures, key fobs, lighters, pictures and everything else that may not have been nailed down on our earlier visits to Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City and, now, virtually any casino in the states or the world!!!

I know you will be pleased to find that you are dealing with many different individuals on this board who are close friends, who often never meet with each other (other than the annual conventions), but who joke, tease, help and support each other as if they were family.

I have never found a more honest group of people and frequently buy and sell chips on their word alone. I never once, in the 14 years I have been a member, have had any negative experience with trades, sales, or gifts with any members on this board and in the CCGTCC organization.

I welcome you and know you will have an enjoyable and fun future with the club and its' members!
