A golden road that all of us have followed, myself included. I have been collecting seriously for only about 1 1/2 years. I consider my serious collecting as starting when I came here to the chipboard and the entire world of chip collecting opened up before my eyes. In that time I have gone from a pathetic 100 chips to over 1,500 in my collection. I learned early on (luckily) from a few members that graciously took me under their wings that the way to dramatically increase your collection without paying premium dollars is to have LOTS of traders. So I did just that. I got lots of traders..and made lots of trades. The more traders i got the more traders I made.

Im pleased that you are getting so much joy out of the hobby. I know I have.

Make sure you give me a hollar at the convention in June. Oh yeah...bring lot of traders!
