Rick, Welcome to the hobby. The first thing you should do is join the Casino Chips and Gaming Tokens Collectors Club. We are a group of over 2500 collectors from all over the country and several foreign countries. Membership includes a wonderful quarterly magazine and access to casino collectors. There are localized chapters throughout the country. We also have a convention in Las Vegas every year. Dues are just $20 per year.

Please check out our club website at www.ccgtcc.com . A membership application is available on the site along with other interesting information. You can view past issues of our magazine on the website.

Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Best regards, Nate
