Generally, I collect baseball cards, with a sprinking of football cards in there. I also collect poker chips, but not nearly with the same intensity (basically I just pick up chips when I go to different casinos around the country). Recently I picked up an interesting 19th centuray tobacco card that was neat:

I also have a 1933 Indian Gum Wild Bill PSA 8 card - that's Bill Hickock who was shot dead holding Aces and 8s, thus the name "dead man's hand". And a couple of poker chips that has Babe Ruth on them from the Las Vegas Club.

So with these two items, I figured it would be fun to look around for gambling stuff...but even more fun if they are related in some way to baseball. Thus connecting my two interests.
