Don - I agree with the other posters. I don't want my note to be misunderstood but I have been thinking lately that with all of the new LE's and the problems with them, it may be a good time to start collecting the "better" obsolete chips. Now I am not so sure. While I don't mind preserving gaming history I sure don't want to pay $300 for a chip today only to see boxes of it sitting at a table at the convention with a $10 price tag. Yes I would like to be able to buy all of those nice old chips for a reasonable price. But while I don't look at chip collecting as an investment I do like to think that this is something I can enjoy but still get my money back out of if I need to. Remember what happened to baseball cards.
