The Museum of Gaming History (MoGH) is on the cusp of a major Exhibit opportunity that requires the assistance of a lot of collectors. This soon-to-be project is being called "The Legendary Stardust Tribute" and will contain Stardust Las Vegas memorabilia, in all forms, from it's 1958 opening to it's 2008 closing.
The complete Exhibit will be as large as the combined display cases of all the current Trail of the MoGH Milestone displays at the El Cortez, the Mob Museum, the Plaza, Nevada State Museum, National Atomic Testing Museum and Spinettis Gaming Supply!
This new, Milestone Exhibit along the Trail of the MoGH will need to be completed in the March time-frame, and we are getting started now to begin the acquisition process. While we already have some remarkable material pledged, we are also looking for larger quantites of common stuff. And who out there has no Stardust items in their collections? Possible, but not likely.
We are requesting the safe and secure loan of Stardust material. The MoGH will insure and pay shipping costs, in both directions. We know that some will just say, I will cover shipping, but, we want to ensure that no one opts to not loan because of these costs.
I will soon begin posting images of some specific items we are in need of, but there is nothing that we don't need in triplicate, or more! Questions, please feel free to ask here or by email.
The MoGH thanks you for your attention in this matter and we encourage any reader here to consider participating in this Project. And "any reader" means, you do not need to be a CCA, nor MoGH member to participate.
