I rarely post here but I check out this board most days as it has good tidbits of info here and there. I was amused by this thread as I have done some insane things while collecting chips. I have collected from almost 800 different casinos and I only collect in person, I never buy the chips. So yes I have definitely driven more than 100 miles to collect a new chip (and much much more lol). I also have planned many a trip around hitting casinos. This hobby is addictive.
