Collecting poker chips can be an expensive proposition.  In the late 70s and early 80s, I started buying chips at each casino I entered....some had 25 or 50 cent chips, but most had a minimum $1 chip.  On one trip in the early 80s, I walked from the Union Plaza in Downtown Las Vegas to Caesar's Palace....it took me about 5 hours, stopping in almost every casino in the downtown region and on the strip.  At the time, they had both colourful casino chips and also metal slot tokens.  I collected so many that I had trouble keeping my pants from falling down from the weight in my pockets.  Some of my chips are worth face value, but some, especially chips from casino/hotels that no longer exist, are valuable.  The last time I checked online, I had a few that were just under $100, with several in the $15 - 20 range.  It was a fun hobby, but just like my sports card collection that my mother threw out when I was a kid (today's worth over $250,000), it is now a dust collector, and hard to sell for value on Ebay or Kijiji.
