Short notice, but starting 11 AM today (Saturday), there is a very big, diverse gambling supply auction on -- online live. I used to collect a lot of the things there, but spread too thin so stopped for most items. There are 349 lots, mostly high-quality stuff. -- covers everything -- gaffed devices, faro and other equipment, dice, catalogs, ivory poker chips, books, playing cards, roulette watches, etc. Educational just to follow the bidding live on your computer. (Odd that with all the great items there, there are a number of worthless plain clay poker chips sets and no good such sets! But also good ivory chips.)
