Chip Collecting
I was thinking of starting a chip collection.
Has anyone done business with a reliable on-line chip collectors/dealer and if so can you hook me up with them? Regards Jim |
Re: Chip Collecting
Are you looking for rare chips mainly, or are you just trying to get chips from as many casinos/eras as possible? If it is the latter, you may want to focus on a single denomination of chips.

Re: Chip Collecting
I remember this guy we used to host a site for, he was cool and into collecting chips. "The Chip Man", he should be able to get you started: http://www.chipman.com/ check out his events tab.

Re: Chip Collecting
I'm not sure. I think I am more interested in vintage chips but I am keeping an open mind until I see what is out there and what is involved. If the older chips are more expensive than I am comfortable with I may switch my focus. I will keep the denomination issue in mind, thanks.

Re: Chip Collecting
Very interesting. I see that there are several clubs/collectors listed in my area. This was useful thanks!

Re: Chip Collecting
A good friend of mine sells chips on ebay.
You can check out his site at http://www.scottro.com Click on the ebay link on his site to see what he is selling. He's very reliable and sells chips pretty much on a weekly basis so if there is something you don't see this week he's got more the week after (and after). NJC |
Re: Chip Collecting
Thanks NJC I will start my collection with something from your friend.
You from NJ? Im in Rahway [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Gamblers General Store.com has price guides and so forth. |
Re: Chip Collecting
Check out The Chip Board . You will learn a ton, and can figure out who to buy from. They even have FAQ's for beginners.

Re: Chip Collecting
BTW, I am trying to collect chips from defunct New York and Long Island poker clubs. If anyone has any they are willing to part with, send me a PM. I would particularly love to find one from the Mayfair, but I am also interested in the more recent clubs. Thanks.

Re: Chip Collecting
Here's something that occured to me recently. A chip collector should probably make a little effort to get a chip(s) from the Alladin casino in Las Vegas. Within a year, the name is going to be changed to Planet Hollywood and the Alladin name should disapear from Vegas for good.

Re: Chip Collecting
Just go around town, and pick up a $1 chip from each place. If they have a poker room, buy a rack or two, and while you're playing, look for the chip in the best condition.
I did this 10 years ago. I'm now the proud owner of chips from such places as the Sands, Desert Inn, Hacienda...what other places have blown up in recent years? |

Re: Chip Collecting
I was talking to the manager at my local room last weekend, I guess that they had 20 chips that were marked wrong. They were white chips with a 5 dollar sticker on them, they are somewhat old but I have no idea how old, and only 20 exist. They had 2 left and some guy paid 100 dollars for 1 of them last week. If the final one interests anybody I'll give you the cardroom information and who to talk to.
