Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is a book with all casino poker chips throughout the years with values,pictures, etc...

Like the Red Book for Coin Collecting...

There are two - The Chip Rack and The Official U.S. Casino Chip Price Guide by James Campiglia and Steve Wells. Good to use both - sometimes they differ. If you're interested in chips from non-U.S. locales though there are other more specialized books.

Got em both for Christmas and wearing the pages already. I us this one more though Official U.S. Casino Chip Price Guide it's great you can match the chip to the pic. Both worth having.

ovo - the two books quoted are excellent resources, however, they are not the full picture. There are in fact numerous chip price guides available, as follows:

Black's Catalogue of Atlantic City Chips

Black's Catalogue of Puerto Rico

Eastman's Catalogue of California Card Rooms and soem Native American casinos

Pfeander/Staefler's California Card Rooms and Native American casinos

Susong's Cataloge of Riverboat casinos

Seymour's Catalogue of antique poker chips

And then there are others for Montana and a few more I can't recall at this hour of the night.

But this makes no mention of an extremely important guide and that is The Gaming Table (TGT). From the authors of The Chip Rack, the TGT lists nearly all casinos World-wide that have ever been in existsence to include illegal places (oops, I forgot, Hertel's Catalogue of Illegals) and even home poker sets that pre-dates ChipTalk!

Ross,

I'm only familiar with one issue. You can use my scan when you are ready to publish. Hey, with this scan, I suspect you are ready to publish!
