Just found some sites to do with collecting casino chips. When I was younger I collected all kinds of stuff - stamps, coins, football stickers, Garbage Pail Kids - so I do really understand the satisfaction of tracking stuff down, building a collection, cataloguing it. But this could be an expensive hobby! Still, I can see how being a trader could be profitable:
1 Buy chip for $5 2 Sell chip to collector for $7.50 3 ??? 4 Profit http://www.marlowcasinochips.com/las...o/Bellagio.htm http://www.callzia.com/dghome/acchips/ac.htm |

I guess it's the same as collecting stamps which could still be used for purpose. BUT a stamp is more likely to be worth more to a collector than its face value than a casino chip would be.

It's huge business. The true collectors look after chips from casinos that are no longer in business. Also, lots of casinos issue limited edition chips like the Palms and the Flamingo.
I also understand that most chip collectors are not gamblers at heart. It's another collectable just like coins or stamps. |

Look how much the chips from the WSOP are going for. A T25 and T100 just went for about $100 each, a T5,000 chip looks like it'll fetch $200.
No cash value indeed. |
