A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY

The Mint Porterville, CA

By James Eric Freedner

The Mint was a California cardroom that I found still had an active license and address in Porterville in 2009, so on my next travels to the central valley, I made a point of detouring to West Morton Avenue near downtown Porterville. But when I got there, I could not find it. (The cardroom, not Porterville; this is not a Twilight Zone episode.)
A year passed and I gained information on a new address for the Mint, so back I went to Porterville, this time to find: a residential house, garage open, somebody inside but obviously not playing poker. I left without stopping.
Yet another year, and this time I saw that The Mint was now listed in the state records as being on West Olive Avenue. Too crazy! Another journey out there -- and this time I found it -- a cardroom in a small strip mall. Going inside, I saw just two tables, card players at only one. But there was a cage staffed by an elderly gentleman who I took to be James Podergois, shown on state records as the owner.
I asked him if I could please buy some chips, and he looked rather sadly at me and said, "Today I'm giving out free chips." And he rummaged around and handed me a few green $1 chips, a couple of red fives, and to my surprise, a black $100 chip, with this admonition: "Don't ever come back here and try to cash these in."
I replied, "'Cuz that would be cheating. And I don't cheat!"
At which a broad smile crossed the man's face as he said, "You got it!!"
A year later, I drove back to Porterville - but the cardroom was gone, never to re-open. I will always treasure those chips, and the courtesy of an elderly casino owner on obvious hard times.
For the background of The Mint and its legal troubles with the Tule River Indian Tribe, you may see this internet posting:

The Rise and Fall of Tribal Administrator Rodney Martin ...
By Carolyn Yeager Here is the story, as best I can put it together from the record of the Porterville Recorder, of Rodney Martin’s career with the Tule River Indian...

A PAIR TO DRAW TO

I am always trying to put things together that have some semblance of balance. Of course, that will always be in the eye of the beholder. Some of these may attract you the collector a little or a lot, no matter which way it attracts, please know I am always trying to help you out, with items you want at price that is fair. For now, I am going to do them every week, but as an unscheduled surprise feature…Thanks for looking. Reggie

If you have some ideas about compatible pairs please send them in to me. If it is possible and I happen to have the two, they will be put on the docket...reg

24 HOUR RULE

If at all possible the 24 hour rule should be applicable to the following scenarios:
• ORDERING A CHIP THAT HAS LIMITED AVAILABILITY AND IS POSTED AS SUCH.
Try to remember to make a final confirmation and or arrangements for payment and shipment. (24 Hours)
• ORDERING ANYTHING AND NOT COMMUNICATING TO THE SELLER YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO PAY FOR IT RIGHT AWAY.
When you have a responsible seller that informs you that your item is available and what the price & shipping is, and you do not get back to seller (In 24 Hours) to inform them you will be sending payment (today, tomorrow or next week) you really are not worthy of any special considerations in the future. Please do not request a trade, or purchase and then not be available, by phone or email for the 24 hours or more. There may be extenuating conditions attached to the items ordered. If the seller/trader cannot get ahold of you do not be surprised if he doesn’t have it available after your finally get back in touch with him.
• MAKE A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION OR AN ITEM SEARCH OF AVAILABILITY, AND WHEN INFORMATION IS SENT OR QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED:
Always try to respond to this answer of information; that has been imparted by the person that it was requested from; within a short time (24 Hours)
• REQUEST A STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT (If you are using some one’s hold service or new chip service)
And then not pay them in a timely manner, is not a good practice. If you are experiencing buyer’s remorse, get back to the seller ASAP, they may not hold you to your purchase, the sooner the better. Also, life tends to get in the way of a chipper’s good intentions, but let them know you have (financial or time problems and have to re-schedule (payments-or the request made) (24 Hours)
• WHEN BUYING, TRADING OR SELLING ALWAYS BE AN EQUAL PARTNER IN THE TRANSACTION. KEEP YOUR ASSOCIATES IN THE LOOP IF YOU CANNOT PERFORM YOUR PART OF THE BARGAIN RIGHT AWAY TELL THEM WHEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO.
Everybody has a life, and sometimes it gets in the way of Chippin’. So tell your Chippin’ partners that you may not be able to get back to them right away with the information or order processing or, whatever. (24 Hours)
• THE FINAL COMMENT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IS THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD “COURTESY”, THE DICTIONARY DEFINES IT AS POLITENESS. BUT IT GOES EVEN FARTHER THAN THAT, LITTLE THINGS LIKE BEING STRAIGHT FORWARD ABOUT YOUR REQUESTS, BEING HONEST, AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOU ACTIONS.
The best thing about our group (The CC-GTCC) is the above statement, because most of us do practice and use these rules. (24 Hours A Day) Reggie

POST CARDS FROM NEVADA

I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING POST CARDS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND HAVE SOME PRETTY COOL ONES. THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A NICE THING TO DO; SHARING THEM. NOT QUITE READY TO START SELLING THEM. ( THERE ARE VERY FEW THAT I HAVE DUPLICATES THEY ARE FOR SALE AND WILL HAVE A PRICE ALONG WITH THEIR TITLES). THAT BEING SAID; SHOULD YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES THAT IS NOT PRICED, FEEL FREE TO MAKE ME AN HONEST OFFER.…REGGIE

SET OF THE DAY

MANY YEARS AGO I STARTED MY POSTING, BY POSTING “A SET OF THE DAY” I THINK I HAD ABOUT 300-400 SETS ALL TOGETHER. THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN BACK THEN. AND WHEN I STARTED DOING “A PAGE A DAY” I INCLUDED BETTER SETS AS A CATEGORY.
BUT NOW; RATHER THAN HAVING MY BETTER SETS CATEGORY, I WILL START HAVING A REGULAR SET OF THE DAY WITH MY OTHER FEATURES WHEN I DISPLAY A “PAGE OF THE DAY”.
I AM REDUCING PRICES ON MOST OF THESE SETS, SOME WILL BE FACE VALUE, SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND WANT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN SENDING ME AN EMAIL, PUTTING A SOLD SIGN ON THE CB IS NOT THE WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE OR TRADE. SEE POD FOR P/H RATES. SEND ME AN EMAIL FOR ORDERS OR QUESTIONS…Reggie
