Re: Collecting and Milestone’s
In Response To: Collecting and Milestone’s ()

1. What do you collect?
Primarily $1 and $5 obsolete Las Vegas, that have a great, classic graphic on the inlay. I love inlay art! No HS/s or LE/s (although I do own hundreds of both. They are supposed to be traders but I seldom trade)! I also collect movie prop chips.

2. How many chips, etc. do you have?
About 3,000.

3. How long have you been collecting?
6 years.

4. What got you started in collecting?
Two things happened, almost a week apart in 2002 that got me hooked. I was browsing eBay for some Secretariat memoribilia (a gift for a nephew), and I came across the Palms $2.50 Secretariat chips. I was playing in a few wild hold 'em games, and I thought the chip would make a great card capper......after all, if you are in a horse race, who better to be on than Big Red? The first time I used the chip it was in my home game. One of my best buddies is a retired director. He saw the chip and asked me about it. A few weeks later I got a package from Miramax, and in it were two authentic Rounders KGB propr chips. My friend knew someone (I think he called him a "property master" or something like that) and made a call. I was hooked.
