We walked into this shop and started looking at chips, dice, cards, etc. that were in a display case. George began talking to the man on duty. He said that he and his dad both collected gambling stuff...they had a little Nevada stuff, but specialized in Arkansas illegals. I asked if he was a member of the CCGTCC, he said he wasn't but his dad is...and I don't remember his dad's name (does Bob Kalinowski ring a bell? google said he's one of the shop owners??). He said I could take pictures to post to the chipboard...but he didn't offer to take the items out of the case, and I didn't ask him to. I didn't realize how much glare I was getting from the glass. Sorry about that.
He told us that there's only 4 decks of these cards known to exist, and his dad owns 2 of 'em. The deck was for sale for $250.
Again...I'm really sorry about the poor quality of the pictures . I usually take a couple of shots of stuff, to make sure one comes out good....this time all I got was multiple bad shots . Couldn't decide if it was worse to post bad pictures or no pictures...so, here they are.
We bought the Fort Lucinda token that's pictured
