I am pleased to announce that the Un-Official OTY Viewing Sites for 2011 are now open!

Here are the links, followed by the details:

http://www.thechipgallery.com/gallery2011?dir=TOTY
http://www.thechipgallery.com/gallery2011?dir=SSOTY
http://www.thechipgallery.com/gallery2011?dir=CKOTY

For the remainder of 2011, anyone (and everyone) that collects chips, tokens, strikes, slot cards and room keys, are asked to upload scans of such items that were released in 2011. All of the sites are self-service and if you make a mistake, just send me an email about the needed correction and I'll take care of it.

If uploading images is not your thing, then simply email me the scan(s) and I'll upload them for you. Please direct emails to: OTYScans@GamingOre.com .

The site can handle images of any size/resolution, but scanning at 150 dpi (or higher) is very much preferred. 300 dpi would be Most Excellent!

If you visit now, all the categories are empty.

But you can change that!

To navigate between categories use the drop-down menu at the center top of any page. Once the categories begin to fill, you can visit additional pages by using the forward/back navigation buttons at the bottom center of each page.

In recent years I have come to rely on Bill Cohenaur to populate the SSOTY pages (thanks Bill) and the Kopp's both add CKOTY scans, as well as publicize the Viewing Page in their monthly eNewsletter! Thanks Larry and Alice.

And of course I owe thanks to the many other collectors that manage to upload or send scans my way!

Thank you everyone!
