There is a special quality about one-of-kind artifacts. This is a great example of the intersection of generic casino memorabilia, which has a basic physical connection to a particular casino (like a chip) and a unique object that carries its own story (like a personal letter written at and about the casino). (No offense to those who only collect chips )

One-of-a-kind artifacts can have entire stories written about them and are super enjoyable. Because the objects and stories are so unique they also elevate the broader attraction to casino collectables. Steve, please consider adding more of these stories in the weekly posts (and chapters in the upcoming book).

Thanks!
