I have this little script i use for my traders (see signature). The script is just a quick file based hack and a bit cumbersome to update.
Since i have some free time this weekend I'm thinking about extending it. I want to be able to add/edit/del chips through a web frontend, search the db, and generate a pdf catalogue.
First thing I need are useful categories for the chip info. Here are two examples of what I'm thinking might be useful:

Casino Chips:

Casino: Caesars Palace
Denomination: $1
City: Las Vegas, Nevada
Manufacturer: Paulson
Condition: mint
Comment: bla bla

Fantasy Chips:

Name: Pharaoh's Club & Casino
Denomination: NCV
Manufacturer: Paulson
Condition: mint
Comment: bla bla

Any other categories you would include?

ps: There might be similar solutions available for free which I'm not aware of. And although I want something that runs on my server, it can't hurt to take a look at other solutions. So if you know something...

Quantity?
Mold?

Just some ideas. Not sure if these are important to you or not

Yeah, that would be a problem for me too!

Inlay shape? Edgespots?

yea, that might indeed be useful for searches. just making a list of all possible edge spots will take some work. guess i can get the ASM spots from the chip factory. is there a list of the Paulson spots too?

I just bought an app called "collector's asssistant". It was developed by Carlisle Development (Carlisledevelopment.com).

You should look at their web site...it has screen shots of the data pages.

You could consider whether the app is a better value than developing it yourself...it was less than $50.

I would include information on who I obtained the chip from and at what cost as well as a current valuation of it as well as store a scan of it with the descriptive info.

Here's what I use in an Excel spreadsheet:

• Casino Name
• State/Country
• City
• Quantity
• Denomination
• Manufacturer (Paulson, Chipco, ASM, B&G, Blue Chip, RTP, Hispania, Langworthy, etc.)
• Mold (THC, RHC, THC-LCV, House, Unicorn, Suits, Dice, Nevada, CHIPS, A, H, T, 24 groove, HHR, Double crown, Jeton, S, S2, Scroll, Sun, V6, V7, etc.)
• Inlay size/type (A, B (Grand), C (Giant), coin, face, hotstamp)
• Inlay shape
• Material (clay, ceramic, composite, pearl, plastic)
• Base Color
• Chip or Inlay Description/Comments (Valentine, secondary, YOTx, roulette, Anniversary, Harley, Poker Room, post-Katrina, etc.)
• Weight
• Diameter
• Special type for non-casino chips (Custom, Fantasy, Retail, Promotional, Tourney, Sample)

thx for the info. i'm looking for a web based solution though. looks more like a desktop app on first glance.
