I have spent part of my day in amazement & excitement -- amazement at the magic & BEAUTIFUL graphics design work that Todd Barrett does, and excitement waiting for his next work of art to hit my computer screen. Of course, I'm talking about the 2011 Casino Collectibles Calendar. A few of us have been lucky enough to get a sneak peek of both the artwork AND the monthly listing of names & chips -- it is really cool!!

For those of you that bought a date & sent your chip scan in, thanks for your contribution towards making this a really interesting & unique way to share our hobby with those around us. For those that bought a calendar (or two), you will NOT be disappointed!!

The time has come & gone for those wishing to buy a date, but there's still time to order a calendar for delivery mid-November. If you'd like to purchase one, the cost is $18 payable on-line through the club's PayPal account ( sales@ccgtcc.com ) or by snail mail (payable to the ) sent to me. As it is right now, we are making only a few extras of this inaugural calendar and once you guys see them, you'll wish you would have ordered one. And if it's too late or we're sold out, well, like the heading in this post -- "Don't come crying to me!!".
