A dedicated subculture of hobbyists, known as numismatists, collect, trade, and preserve these small clay discs.
What Makes a Chip Valuable?

Furthermore, limited edition chips released for special events or massive boxing matches become instant collector's items.

Attending a dedicated collector's convention is the best way to physically inspect rare items and learn from veterans.
