I know many of you collect Silver Strikes and although the Silver Striker club and the CCA barely kiss each other any more (try to get THAT image out of your head), there is a huge crossover in membership between the two. I regularly attend the new strike releases and see a great many CCA members there. I see this year's convention as being a great opportunity to reconnect with the group, and due to the rising price of silver, there should be a goodly number of them wanting to buy and sell strikes at our convention, which is one week prior to their June tournament - perfect timing.

So, whether you're a silver striker now, or want to get into collecting them, or have friends who are but have never attended the CCA convention, please help spread the word among that community. This, in conjunction with our outreach to the set collectors, should make this year's event cause the fire department to tell us we need to limit the number of people in the room.

Hello fellow Silver Strikers!

Please join us June 18-20 at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas Nevada for the 33rd annual CCA convention/show, taking place the weekend before the June Silver Strike tournament, so very easy to attend both. As a silver striker myself, I will see you all both weekends.

Dealer tables are available and yes, you can share a table with other sellers if you don't feel you have enough wares to support having one by yourself. Take turns minding the store while the other is out checking out the other goodies at the show. But be careful... you might end up buying more than you sell!

There have always been silver strikes available at the dealer tables. I've personally purchased at least 50 at previous shows myself. This year should be an even larger bounty of them as people look to get more value than they did in the past. Don't miss your opportunity to grab strikes that you're missing from your collections, and heck, maybe you'll find a new category of collectible to start collecting.

Show info, including registration and room discount links can be found here: https://ccgtcc.com/events/convention
Dealer contract can be found here: https://www.ccgtcc.com/documents/1399/2026-Table-Contract
And a beautiful flyer depicting this year's theme of celebrating our nation's 250th birthday can be found here: https://www.ccgtcc.com/documents/1397/2026-Convention-Flyer---America-250

If you pre-register for the show ($20), you get a 1 hour head start early-bird entry on day one. Plus a goodie bag.

Additionally, the club auction is a popular event. This year, we're going to TRY and couple our live auction with an online auction to get more eyeballs from those who can't attend in person, but also to get eyeballs that have no idea what the club is all about but want to bid on the amazing items up for grabs. If you would (please) like to donate items for the auction, send an email to auction@ccgtcc.com. This is a big fundraiser for the club so your help is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up at president@ccgtcc.com.

See you in June!
