Here is the story.

This past weekend, Cache Creek issued their new "slew" of slot cards and for the first time, have 3 levels of VIP cards. (pearl, jade and ruby)

If you will look closely at the VIP cards, you might notice different symbols on each of the cards. Each month has a different symbol representing 12 different symbols per card. In other words, there are 36 different VIP cards.

The requirements to reach the different levels are really strict, especially for the ruby and jade levels.

Bill O'Day and I spent the whole day seeking out the different levels and the results are as follows:

We found 7 out of the 12 different pearl cards, and one each of the ruby and jade levels.

So let me warn you in advance that if you have any intentions of attempting to collect a complete set, it's going to both cost you dollars and is going to take time to get them. With no guarantee if all the different ones can be gotten.

I expect that this is going to be one of the most difficult and exclusive set of cards to obtain.

As of this moment, I have one and only one set of 4 cards for sale for $80.00.

I have a few extra pearl level cards for sale at $5.00 each (but only one set of 7 of the 12 available for $35.00.) I will try to get the other 5 different pearl cards the next time we get out to Cache Creek (which will be after the convention.)

In reference to the 2 bottom cards, they are the new Cache Creek room keys. I don't know as yet if there are other different cards available, but these were tough as all get out to get in the first place.

I have only one of the the brown ones available (the one with the bedroom scene) and 2 of the blue cards.

At this point in time I am asking $10.00 for the brown card and $5.00 for the blue one. I expect the price to drop for at least the brown car later on depending on how difficult it is to get these cards in future attempts, but for now, that 's the price.

Delivery will be made at the convention if anyone is interested.
