I started collecting anything with a casino name on it. I have chips, paper, dice, ashtrays, slot glass, shot glass, all kinds of glass. Now I try and stick to just Vegas and Atlantic City, but do stray occasionally.

2. How many chips, etc. do you have?
I have no idea, but in the 1,000s. Last year I brought 1,100 traders to the convention. Didn't realize I had that many until I added them up.

3. How long have you been collecting?

I started collecting about 95 or so by taking chips home from Vegas. An LE here and there.

4. What got you started in collecting?
In 97-98 I found a 5 dollar Caesar's on the bed in an antique center for face. I bought it and started researching it. I found the chip board and the rest is history. Some of the first people I met were the O'Neil's at Bill Akieman's Gaming Times Store and Gene.
