Anybody collecting gaming tokens 20 years ago remember these dealers?

Top is from High Sierra Numismatics, later The Coin Company, later Gaming Archaeology. Howdy Herz has been around a while. An he still has the same PO Box in Minden, NV!

I don't know what happened to Virgie Shannon of Las Vegas. I bought tokens from him, but never met him. Anybody remember him?

Surprisingly, even with 20 years of inflation, today's token prices are about what they were in the 1980's.
