I haven't been collecting nearly as long as many of you, and my collection is not that big, but it does have some value. I have but 3 of the Hard Rock Vegas Collection, and missing the numbered roulette chips, but I do know that the rest add up to a sizeable amount of money. I have recently started putting together an AC Limited Edition set, and those add up as well. My kids won't be able to retire, but they have no idea what they are worth.
That idea would also be a great relief to our families. As said before, then they wouldn't end up wasted away, and our investment still continues to help our families. I would be willing to assist in an endeavor such as this, and would be able to help especially with anyone who has a Hard Rock collection. Let the think tank expand.
