"Hi, my name is Windy Challey at Games of Berkeley. This is about collectible chess sets. There are many chess sets out there for you to collect. Often if you have a favorite activity or character that you collect, you can find a chess set about it. Here I have one about Peanuts, for people who are Peanuts collectors. There are also many other chess sets for different animated characters, The Simpsons, Family Guy, many other things. There are sports chess sets for sports collectors, I have here a Giants and A's version, but there's one available for most major teams and hometowns. I have sets that are unique and from different cultures. This one here is an Asian set called the Eight Fairies. Very pretty. There are collectible sets that are for various activities, sports fans, this one here is for golfers. There are historical recreation such as this one which is from the Isle of Louis, a British chess set, medieval. Chess sets that are works of art or are from different cultures such as Egypt or Rome. There are many chess sets out there available for collectors or for collectors who don't collect chess sets, but have other collections and want to add a chess set to their collection. It's a good gift idea."
