I know several people that are big into this.
As for me I have a small collection of mostly $1 chips from various places, many of them obsolete.
I have been interested in getting rid of them for a while, but don't want to go through all of the hassle of eBay.
If anyone on here is interested I would be happy to share the information with them.

My first trip to Vegas I decided to to collect a green (25) and red (5) chip from every casino I went into. Unfotunatly I ran low on funds and had to complete my collection on later trips. I do now have a pretty nice collection and have thought of getting it framed. The problem is the collection will never be "complete" because of all the new casinos that keep popping up.
I was always curious why making counterfit chips is not more popular. Seems like a easy thing to do if you are smart about it and did not get greedy.

Funny you brought this subject up, over the past couple of years I've had the habit of collecting black $100 chips (like the look of them) from various casinos, I had to stop and think, what am I doing collecting all these different chips from different casinos. I originally did this not intending to become a hobby but it has become one.
The great thing about casino chips is they will hardly EVER lose their face value.
If you turn them back into the casino, you get the face value.
If they are discontinued, wonderful, you have an obsolete chip that is to be treasured or sold for what almost is always a higher than face value price.

Kiss1- In case you didnt realize it, worked at the Castaways Sportsbook up till their closing of the doors of the casino in 1987.
Most of the small quanity of the $1,000 chips were allowed to be taken by the 8-9 sportsbook employees on the night of the closing.
Have 6-7 like the one pictured above.
