... Victor. I wouldn't mind mentioning a few individual chips, but otherwise would emphasize the hobby and the club rather than my personal collection.

I never give out my home address to anyone except family and personal friends. That's why I use a PO box to conduct all internet business (the box isn't even in the same city in which I live!! ).

I would also be reluctant to allow photos of anything more than a sampling of chips. In short, don't make yourself an inviting target.

On the other hand, mention the club at least three times! As Archie suggested, give him the club website address -- or, better yet, if you do the interview where there is internet access, log on to the club website and actually show it to him.

Give (or show) him the ChipBoard, too.

Invite him to a chapter meeting (or the convention!). Give him a few chips ... then sign him up!!
