No, this blog is not about Henry M Paulson, our current US Treasury Secretary.
It's about poker chips, specifically, current or obsolete casino poker chips made by Paulson, a former US based company now owned by Gaming Partners International.
I became recently obsessed with poker chips due to a poker article in the New York Times a year and a half ago.
I now collect obsolete casino sets in playable quantities with the intent to use them in games, but so far, the only consistent playing partner I have is my 4 1/2 year old daughter. We play War with betting.
Managing this obsession has been interesting, to say the least.
I have given myself 'rules' for collecting. These rules have been broken multiple times, but they're useful as baselines.
1. Figure out a monthly budget and stick to it.
2. Find a consistent 'theme' to the collection.
3. If you get bored, sell them and start again.
Once I figure out how to post photographs, I'll have a little show and tell.
In the meantime, check out chiptalk.net for fellow chip freaks.
