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.

Collecting things, IMO, shouldn't really be all about the money, although for alot of people that is what it is about. Some people collect salt shakers that look like chickens...just because they might not be worth alot in the future doesn't make it a bad hobby.

I collect $1 chips from every poker room I play in and my buddies bring me a $1 chip when they play in a room somewhere that I haven't. I do the same for them. Pretty neat to look at all the different $1 chips. And it has nothing to do with hoping the chips value is ever more than $1.
