.........311,207 was the number of items listed on Ebay at 10:45 pm November 3, 2021 when I did a Search for "CASINO". The number now is 321,155.

Unfortunately no one came up with the correct answer although there were some guesses I really liked.

Here is why I ran the Contest.

I thought this was a Crazy number of items to be listed under "CASINO" on Ebay. Although there are a lot of items under the "CASINO" listing that are not directly related to what we would consider to be "Casino Collectibles" there are still 100s of thousands of items that are "Casino Collectibles". Also there are many other internet sites actively selling Casino related items.

My point is - there are a lot of people out there that are buying and selling Casino related items.

Members of the CCA are NOT buying all of these items but they are being purchased by "collectors" who are not members of our Club.

Many times we think that our Hobby is dying away because our membership is declining but I believe there are many, many people who are actively collecting Casino related items but they are just not dues paying members of our Club.

Also there was a lot of interest in Casino/Gambling items in recent auctions from Potter and Potter. Julien and other auctions.

My personal opinion is that the interest of collecting Casino related items is and will be active for a long time to come.

Take care,
Jerry
