From what I can see, there are more (than ever before);

Books pertaining to the interest and related history.

Websites related to many gaming jurisdictions' chips.

Online auction sites featuring chips.

Major auction houses including chip lots.

Expositions.

Online videos featuring chip collections.

Gatherings/meets of collectors.

Affordable (within reach) chips... much more inexpensive than when I joined the hobby and purchased chips.

Casino awareness of the hobby.

Casinos accommodating the hobby.

...and probably a lot more than I mentioned.
