No such thing as too old, friend!
Sorry to hear, always a tough decision to make.
As has been mentioned, there's no such thing as too old for this hobby!
That said, it may never seem like it to most of us, but there's going to come a day when we're not going to be around anymore, and that our chips and other collectibles will be passed down to the next in line or sold.
Me? I'd rather live to see my son and his friends enjoy some of my sets. I plan on passing down a set (or two or three) to him while I still have my faculties so I can see him enjoy them some before I pass on. There will be sets that I will allow to be sold, but some are going to be vaulted and will never want to see them leave the family.

im sure they are grateful to have something like nice chips gifted to them
if it does you can always sell them too.
Sounds like a tough decision to be made. My father-in-law is not doing well healthwise and always jokes that I will be responsible for going through and getting rid of his stuff (he's retired Navy and has accumulated a lot of memories/things).
While it is hard to part with the chips now, it is much easier to do it while you know the value and meaning behind the chips if there is any versus somebody else doing it later when they don't know the value/story behind it. I can only imagine this was a hard decision to make.

Best wishes to you sir.
Best wished to you Russ. I know we have traded chips in the past. Great collection and great collector. Hope you stick around

Hi Russ. It seems like you are just about the first chipper I remember from the early 2000’s . It was either you or “I Run Eights” (RIP) who got me a cool Harley flag in a secret Santa on Chiptalk. The carpet is moving under all of our feet. God Bless, and good vibes from the Atlantic Ocean, I just woke up to snow and ice on the veranda here in East Boston

Best of luck to you Russ. I hope your health is okay and this is just something where you've decided to simply focus your energy elsewhere!
So sorry to hear this!
I think auctions are the best tool when value is hard to pin down. Great to hear that you aren't leaving us for good and will still be around! Will be watching the classifieds to see what cool things might be revealed. That X-mold set you haven't got around to milling piqued my interest.
Any chance that you might make a guest appearance at @CraigT78 's meetup in Dallas?
My thoughts are with you man. Best wishes for your health and do enjoy whatever you can in your life.
The problem with the body getting old is that the mind stays forever young. At 95 you 're still interested in and desire the same things as at 25.
I 've had a small first bitter sip of what is to come (52 now).
Art and art objects (like chips) and games (like poker) are very nice substitutes, but still substitutes to the only thing that matters: Genuine communication and love among people.

Russ, your chips won't be hard to sell for your family if they know to come here. That being said, you can have some fun and watch as you make other collectors very very happy I look forward to your sales/auctions/whatever and wish you the best in your personal life. You're a legend!
