In spite of my personal passion to collect "tittie bar" chips, and the surprising number of other people who allow their prurient tendencies to blind them to the fact that these are indeed NOT "casino" chips, I believe maintaining the club focus on casino chips is appropriate and desirable. This is not a dice collectors' club, even though some people who collect casino chips willingly collect anything casino. A fascination with casino chips easily goes hand in hand with a fascination with antique ivory chips(maybe having nothing to do with casinos), antique poker chips and sets made for home use, advertising chips, and yes, tittie bar chips. It's the collector mentality. And it's fun. But a club needs a focus, and I think "casino chips and tokens" is the strongest bond that ties us all together.
Now, if Bob (FL) wants to organize a Casino Door Knob and Ice Machine Collectors Club, I'd love to join.
