As I dig deeper into the Birl Hoard to find items for the BMOGH, I come up with all sorts of crazy things.

1. "Chip Chat(s)" Magazine for wood carvers NOT Chip Collectors. My Father was a wood carver - Decoys, animals etc. The "Chip Chats" is one of his old magazines - looks like they started publishing in 1953. I don't know if the mag is still published - I did not Google it. I wonder if Doug Saito knows about his competition ???

2. Flyer from CCGTCC 1ST Convention in 1993 - 2017 will be Convention # 25. Check out the Show hours 10:00 am to 6:00 pm ALL 3 days. 24 hours of buying, selling and trading on the Convention floor !!!

3. Sealed/Unused decks of cards from Mizpah Casino in Tonopah, Nevada - Red and Blue decks. I picked these up from a former employee of the Mizpah probably 20 years ago when I went thru Tonopah on one of my trips around Nevada. I actually stayed one night at the Mizpah - classic old rooms with antique bathroom fixtures - tub, toilet, etc. One deck is $3.00 - 2 decks are $5.00 plus $2.50 flat rate shipping. If you want these cards = please email me jerrybirl@verizon.net

Take care,
