I'm thinking about starting a casino dice collection. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd love to chat.

Good idea.Be sure to also hit up the folks over at The Chip Board if you haven't already. There's a number of dice collectors there.
Are you looking for matching serial numbers? Are you just looking to get started? How picky on the dice are?Yeah, I'm seeing lots of options on eBay. I hate to spend $4-$5/pair + $3-$4 shipping for each pair though. I wonder if said relative is ready to get rid of that box?
I don't really have a direction yet. I don't want anything with significant cancellation effects or anything super faded. I guess I'm needing some guidance too.Are you looking for matching serial numbers? Are you just looking to get started? How picky on the dice are?
Most dice cancellations are subtle, such as a non-foiled ring impressed upon one of the faces. It's not like cancelled chips or cards. There are definitely drilled dice out there, but most of the collected dice I see aren't drilled.I don't really have a direction yet.

Yes. That's where I got a lot of mine.Do casinos in Vegas sell their old dice in their gift shops? I called Harrahs and they told me to check with Walgreens...?

As long as you leave two, right?Not sure. But the craps tables usually have 2-3 extras in these little dishes/trays that you can probably snag.
Yea, that's probably what will happen. I don't know. I just love gambling devices.Yes but I haven't done anything with them other than throw them in a bag. I usually try to grab a set from every casino I visit. Probably more a hoarding issue than collecting though.
Are you teasing me or pleasing me?Here's all the different dice I have. 10 pair. Would make good starter set.
