Like a lot of people who start out collecting chips, I denied that I was a card or key collector for a long time. I would sign up for cards online or when I visited a casino and then trade them away for chips. But when you've been collecting chips a while you reach a point where the chips you can afford to collect are not as exciting as they once were. New limited edition chips are released every few days, making it very expensive to keep your collection current unless you narrow your focus. Collecting cards and room keys gives me something else to look for, trade for and research. I think you'll see more and more chip collectors branch out into cards and keys every year. You're already seeing a lot more people wanting to swap chips for cards and cards for chips. Those of you who have been doing this a while and organizing yourselves deserve a lot of credit for putting together a network of collectors that will only continue to grow larger. Good job!
