Nice unused Circus Circus casino card, cheaper than a hand of blackjack.  Grade: 1

Las Vegas has more lives than a cat. But not the Boulder Club, which one Google citation tells us operated from 1931 to 1960 despite a large fire in 1956. The caption on the back says “We never close.” Not so.  Grade: 2

Barney’s may have been absorbed into something else by now, but his cards live on. We have five of these, unused, as-new. By the way, Barney’s was on the south shore of Lake Tahoe. We’re not certain where “Northern Nevada’s largest slot machine” may be now, however.  Grades: 1

What secrets lie behind this quiet facade? Unused card ca. early 1900s from Continental Stamp Co. (#1008), had been in album and has diagonal corner indents, also upper left front corner abrasion. Reverse is unmarked. It’s a famous card, well worthy of being in any collection having a gambling theme.  Grade: 2

This is not a postcard.  It measures 2.25″ x 3.5″ (like a business card), has rounded edges, and on the back contains a map to find the casino, a rubber stamp from the motel that passed the card out, and another rubber stamp saying “three free souvenirs.”  Not sure if that offer is still valid now, but the little item is very nice.  Grade: 1

Two are available, probably late 1950s or early 1960s.  One is unused (Grade: 1, $2) and the other is unmailed but with an inked notation on the reverse (Grade: 4, $0.50).

“Spectacular new Club on Fremont Street” should suggest how old this unused card is.  Great condition.  Grade: 1

Unused card with multiple thumbtack holes.  Grade: 4

Unused card.  Grade: 2

Within this folio of ten unused cards, one shows the new and the old Lisboa Casinos adjacent to each other, as they are in real life.  The cost of this folio is roughly the same as that of betting on two hands of blackjack in those casinos, but you probably will have better luck if you put your money here, not there.  Grade: 1

This folio of 12 unused cards shows a majority of dusk or night scenes, and some might say this is when Macau with its many casinos and restored city centre looks its best.  Four of the cards in this folio show casinos, but NOTE:  you are buying the entire folio.  Grade: 1

A card for many categories, mailed in 1974 with stamp and postmark.  The writer was having a great time, clearly.  The irony is that the card’s recipient could have been right there with them.  A bit of postal battering, nothing major.  Grade: 3

Unused La Cigogne card 852, with one perforated edge indicating that it had been part of a set.  Grade: 3

Confusing captions but definitely mailed from Finland in 2011 with Aurora borealis stamp, and Priority and address labels affixed.  We know the card’s front says “Greetings from Savonlinna”, while the Finnish and English captions on the reverse say something else.  Grade: 3

Mailed in 2011 with stamp but unreadable partial postmark.  Grade: 1

This photo has at least three casinos and hotels in it, including the Wynn, and the old and new Lisboas.  Unused 5″ x 7″ card.  Grade: 1

Not postally used, the original owner noted on the reverse:  “I was here, Aug 1916.”  (That was convenient for us!)  Grade: 3
