Rare slot cards found

While traveling around after the chip show in Reno, Steve Wells & I were searching for old cards in Sparks & picking up the new Dukes & Rail City when my cell phone rang. My dad was calling from Vegas to tell me he found a nice group of slot cards & some chips & tokens & was hoping to make a deal with some nice folks that afternoon. We were heading back to Vegas so I waited to see what he found when I got there. To my amazement he found Treasury cards from Sparks! That the number one card I wanted for my collection. Not only one but 2 of the colored print cards & black & whites. See this ebay link for an extra B&W & other nice duplicate cards I left in Vegas for my mom to run for me. She really enjoys selling these for me & has started her own collection now. I only need Plantation now & a couple Vegas (Anthony's & Triple J) to have a very complete collection of one card from each casino. Some casinos like Sands, Flamingo etc. I want all cards as I do for the chips I collect.
My Mom is an Elvis fan & one of her pen pals from Canada was in Vegas visiting last year & she got her into collecting cards.

Steve & I had a great trip to Reno & got many new cards & some old ones & I have lined up a deal to get a very large collection in November hopefully. This trip really sparked my interest again in the great slot card hobby. Steve helped me for hours to get my cards organized once again. The collectors in this field are really nice people.
I have really enjoyed the extensive work Pat & Steve have done on their latest book. As I went through checking off the cards I have now I was amazed at how accurate they are. What a job!
