Barry, you should truly be commended for the personal time and expense you are putting into this.

From my, albeit somewhat limited, experience at coin shows in Long Beach and San Diego, as well as at coin stores, the overwhelming feeling there towards casino chips and collectibles is one of apathy, bordering on general ennui.

The one exception was at a coin store in old town Temecula, several years ago.

The owner was a CC>CC member and had some very expensive chip displays and several large binders of nice chips. That was the only exception, I have seen..
