Hello everyone. If you didn't already know, I'm the de facto auction chair this year because we were unable to find another person to volunteer for the job. So, if we have any screwups, it's on me.

That said, I think we have an exciting new chapter unfolding as far as our annual auction goes. I'll try to describe things as best I can here (I've already posted several times but we're getting close to game time so this can serve as a good reminder for everyone).

Silent Auction - This will be conducted in the same manner as in prior years. 35 items will be on display at the auction table with bid sheets for each. Write in your bids and take 'em home if you win. Items can be combined onto the same invoice as items won in the live auction if desired.

Live Auction
Pre-bidding already underway.

Live auction starts 6/18/26 at 7pm in the Joshua Room with bids starting at the highest online bid.

Auction will be "televised" (webcast) so remote bidders who can't attend in person can see the action from home.

For pre-bidding, register online at https://casinocollectiblesassociation.hibid.com

For live bidding only, register in person at the auction

All live participants should arrive early to register, check-in, and/or get your bidder paddle. This will avoid delay in our start time.

Catalog will be published shortly (it's done - I just haven't pushed it up to the website yet). A short version will be available as well. If you want a hardcopy, download and print one yourself at home.

Jerry Birl and John Chamberlain will be our live auctioneers this year.

What other questions do you have?
