Some of you may have been reading the sticky thread entitled: "Newby Tip of the Day" in this Forum. Although created by Doug "Cigarman" Smith, the recently elected Treasurer of the CC&GTCC, I have been facilitating CT readership of those Tips by copying them from TheChipBoard.com and reposting them here.

As it turns out, Doug "Cigarman" Smith is already registered here on CT (as "cigarman") but he is a lurker, which is OK, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to say...

Cigarman, Welcome to ChipTalk!

And I hope that other CTer's will join me in welcoming Doug to this part of the chip collecting World. If enough of us say Hi, Doug might even make a post!

I will continue to assemble Doug's Tips into the afore mentioned thread, which is also linked here: http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/chip-c...-messages.html

For those who dont know me, my Name is Doug Smith but I am better known throughout the chipping community as "Cigarman".

I have been a collector all my life but it wasent until about 15 years ago that I found my true passion, Chip Collecting.

My main interests are Vintage Vegas Chips, Foreign Chips, Jetons and Plaques, Manufacturers samples with distributor names on them and Taylor and Company "T" Mold Chips.

I also collect Matchmooks, Casino Wine and Champaigne Bottles, and have a growing impressive Slot Glass Collection.

I havent quite figured out yet how to post pictures on this board yet, but I am a frequent poster on www.thrchipboard.com and a search of my name there and in the archives will show a variety of my Foreign Material and Slot Glass that I display in my Poker Room and Game Rooms.

I look forward to answering any questions that I can and becoming a reqular visitor to Chip Talk.

Thanks again for the well wishes and happy chipping to all.

Welcome Doug. I've been reading your advice for newbies on the Chipboard (and here) with great interest and am proud to think I may not actually be a newbie anymore.

If you need any Aussie chips let me know. Happy to trade for Las Vegas $1 chips I don't have.
