Chris' most excellent adventure

OK, This is just another series, as someone on the BB has said of our DUMB luck. Chris and I went to California, LONG BEACH, about two weeks ago for a conference. I was attempting to win an election, I lost!

The second morning Chris discovers an ad. The ad says, blah, blah, estate sale, VEGAS COLLECTIBLES.

We go to the house and wait with about 150 people and discover a hoard of everything but CASINO CHIPS. We find playing cards, postcards, matches, dice and PAPER MEMORIBILIA.

I have just finished listing postcards, matches, chips from California (from the auctions of several months ago), Nevada and Atlanitc City Chips too, along with some really interesting paper stuff.

Ever see a decal for US ROUTE 40?
How about PAPER TOWELS in a package from the El Cortez?

Then we come home and find the same guy with the FLOORSWEEPERS and he has a chip rack from the DEFUNCT RIVER CITY in New Orleans as well as California Chips.

I am collecting, and selling, and loving every minute of this stuff. We now have frames of MATCHES, POSTCARDS, CHIPS, SWIZZLE STICKS, SILVER STRIKES, etc.

OH BOY! I'M DONE! Take a LOOK! THANKS!
