Had nothing but a great time.

First thing this fella comes up and gives me a hug. My old friend Manny O. Such a pleasure to see him again. I have known him since silver strike days. I sadly forget who but inside the doors to the right three booths a great dealer had a baggie with casino silver tokens in it. Yeaaaaa, score in my book and barely got started. we made a deal I thought was more than fair on the group. I did not need them all but bought them anyhow. I love casino silver so I am hard driven to buy, buy, and buy. Then I found Dan Wickett. I wanted to meet him since we email back and forth so much. Always has great tokens for sale and full of info about them. Off and about I came to Wendy's table. She is such a pleasure to visit with. She has lots of higher denominations tokens. I guess I can count my wallet happy as I already have what she brought this time. Though I seem to find new tokens I need from her eBay listing. And then there was Jim Kruse. Yup, he had 19 strikes I could not leave behind. A pleasure meeting him as well. Not sure if Jim or his wife was more happy to see me buy those. lol.

Great time was had for sure.

Thanks to all,

Tomorrow I get to go to the Pawn Stars store. I have a meeting there to pick up a machine that has been on loan for one of the show episodes. This is one of those elongated penny machines. They had a bunch made for the store and sell them in the store if anyone collects them.
