I ALSO collect:
Arizona chips (especially old pokers chips that can be attirbuted to AZ)
Nevada $1's and $5's (I avoid LE's - I just collect the nice normal house rack)
ANYTHING with metal... diecuts, brass cores, coin inlays
and I play with UFC's and inlaid chips (like monograms) because they are cheap and keep me amused between expensive Harrah's acquistions
People often ask me, "Why Harrah's?"
I simply love the chips. I fell in love with a harem roulette... and the scrowns... and my Harrah's Club Reno ... and diecars and so many others.
Focusing on one major casino - especially one like Harrah's - founded in 1937 - it gives me direction and keeps me on an endless pursuit of old stuff AND new stuff...
As an added bonus - it encourages all of you to send me all kinds of really neat "stuff"
Gosh - I LOVE this hobby!!
