Finally, after much perseverance, Bill and I were able to locate this Rocket Bingo card from Cache Creek, in Northern California–about an hour west of Sacramento (Brooks, Ca.) This card has remained a mystery to me as well as a few others for some time now. Scott is the only other person I know that has one and as a manufacture, got it as a sample.
I saw it for the first time in person at the convention. Since then, I have been talking to upteen people about it without any result. No one, either dealing with slot cards or in the bingo room ever heard of it. They all denied ever seeing one, no less hearing of one.
Finally, I spoke to a “suit” I know who introduced me to a “Tuxedo” who verified that they in fact did have them and after much persuasion agreed to let me have a [few].
The interesting thing about his card aside from everyone denying its existence, is that this is the first card I remember ever seeing that has the corporate logo on the reverse–Pepsi. I assume they (Pepsi, that is) manufactured or had these cards made for the casino.
I know nothing else regarding this card. If it will ever be used or anything else. In the meantime, if you are a collector of unique cards, rare cards or other than the run of the mill type of cards, you will not want to miss out on this opportunity to bid on this new ebay listing. Sorry no traders available.
As usual, postage is free. DON’T YOU WISH EVERYONE PRACTICED THIS PROCEDURE???
I hope no pending rules or regulations will stop me from offering free postage or post any other restrictions on me.
