A friend I play cards with has given me some slot cards in the past, and when I saw her recently. she gave me a pack of cards she had gotten from her sister and brother-in-law, who had lived in Las Vegas for a short time. Most were basic cards, some common, others a little harder to run across. But there was one card in the stack that stopped me cold. Here it is for you to take a look at. It is a basic punch card type, white with a black plastic layer in the middle. The back is blank white, and the front has the familiar jester logo, Mad Money card name, and identification of the Lady Luck Casino/Hotel, all in red silk-screen printing (slightly raised). This and the 1-800-Lady Luck phone number makes me positive it must have come out of the Lady Luck in Vegas. I knew I'd never seen one like it when my eyes first caught sight of it, but when I checked the 3rd Edition PRICE GUIDE, I didn't see an entry that seemed to cover this card. Anybody out there care to evaluate and comment on my find? It shows wear and has no name printed or embossed -- and more important I don't see where a name could have been easily fit on the front of the card. Could it have been a temporary card that was in use for a short time?
