Hello from Colorado (1 Viewer)

[Just1Better]

Hello all, I am new to the site and wanted to introduce myself. I have been collecting for a while and recently found this site and appreciate the fact that it is here. I have several sets, but am always looking for new ones, especially from casinos that closed under mysterious or dubious circumstances. I am currently trying to fill out my Empress Casino set and am looking for $1s, $100s and $500s so if anyone is looking to part with theirs I would be more than happy to assist you. Also, if you are aware of a casino that has an interesting story: like why they are no longer with us, something odd or historical about when they were active, how they started or something interesting about their location then I am very interested in hearing about it.
Thanks for your time and I hope to be doing business or swapping stories with you all in the near future.

Welcome aboard. Lots of great casino knowledge here. Just not from me.

Welcome. What part of Colorado are you from?

 

[Just1Better]

Grew up in Boulder, joined the AF to see the world, 10 years at Lowry (in Denver), 3 years in the UK, 7 years at the AF Academy in beautiful Colorado Springs where I still am. That isn't to say the AF didn't afford me a great deal of travel, because it did, it just wasn't with the family like we had expected -- But, don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, I LOVED the AF. I see you are in Boulder, it is a BEAUTIFUL city, I still have family there and in Longmont and other spots dotted around our great state.

Hello and welcome!

Lots of choices for closed casino 1's in the Classifieds right now. It's like PCF has it's very own Black Friday supersale!

Thanks @allforcharity, that's a nice set of Cleopatra's Cable Bridge Casino chips you have in the classifieds, but the Black Friday sale prices would have to be better than that for me to grab those. But, they sure are nice!

Actually, not just referring to mine. There are several people selling some nice casino $1's. I know of at least two other sellers (other than me) selling 2-4 racks each of the Cleopatra's Cable Bridge $1 chips, some in used condition, some in uncirculated mint condition.

Welcome! Denver here. I'm sure you'll find more chips here than you ever realized you needed. Colorado is pretty well represented here at PCF.

 

[Just1Better]

@StaggerLee I am finding that to be very true in deed. Does anyone organize any swap meets or events locally?

 

[StaggerLee]

Not that i'm aware of, but I've only been on here for a couple months.

We mostly just host games. Things slow down over the summer but they’re starting to pick back up now. Don’t know if any in the Springs, but we have most of Denver metro covered.

 

[Just1Better]

Hey, thanks. Yea, I haven't heard from anyone else in the Springs but am looking forward to getting involved locally

Welcome aboard!
