Unused, aging H.S. Crocker Mirro-Krome card GW-37-A dated MCMLXIII (1963).  Grade: 1

Mailed in 2011, the card has two stamps and a faint postmark.  The building was, and has been, more than just a casino–and the history dates back to 1880.  Grade: 1

Mailed in 2011 or 2012, the two stamps and postmark are there but it’s a dark postmark on a dark stamp.  Priority label also.  Grade: 1

Mailed in 2012 with three stamps.  Grade: 2

It is still there, though even their own website can’t decide on its own name.  It is either “Royal Resort” or “Royal Hotel” but, never mind, it’s a survivor.  Unused card, heavily handled.  Grade: 3

The caption on the reverse of this unused Mike Roberts card is as breathless as the leap itself, 100 feet down into a “Pad of foam rubber.”  Grade: 1

The reverse of this card (mailed in 2012, Moomin stamp, faint postmark, blue Priority label) is mostly taken up with a Finnish caption that seems to offer help for a gambling addiction.  We’re not certain of this, but it’s as good an explanation as any.  Grade: 2

Unused J.S. Wooley card 95275.  Grade: 2

Unused card.  Grade: 1

Mailed in 2012 with stamp and two postmarks.  Grade: 1

Hard to believe, but two of these internet cards are available.  One was mailed from Malaysia in 2013 with stamp and postmark (Grade: 2, $1) and the other from Russia with five different stamps–taking up much of the reverse–and three large postmarks, and Par Avion label (Grade: 1, $3).

If you’re a collector of casino postcards, here’s a classy contemporary one for you.  Mailed in 2012 with stamp and large, special postmark, and address label affixed.  Grade: 3

Two of the four edges on this unused card are perforated, so it came out of a book.  And there is a black X inked on the lower right reverse corner.  Grade: 3

Though we are finding it slightly creepy that scenes we remember from the original are now being issued as “retro” reproductions, we have to accept it.  This is a contemporary card (not 1969) mailed in 2013 with round “Global Forever” stamp and New York wind farm postmark.  Grade: 1

Mailed in 2013 with round “Global Forever” stamp, and postmark.  Some postal bumping and abrasions.   Grade: 2

Larger card mailed from Germany in 2013 with two uncancelled stamps and Priority label, as well as postal abrasion on the reverse.  Grade: 4

Unused card of this Best Western property.  Grade: 1

Unused Plastichrome card P20675, calling this “Nevada’s tallest and finest hotel,” but when it opened in 1956 it was also the tallest building in the state–and while no longer the tallest, it’s still there, a real survivor.  Grade: 1

Unused card.  Did you know that gambling was legalised in Nevada in 1931?  Grade: 1

Unused, noticeably aging card, 5-3/8″ x 7″, showing the Lodge, Pyramid Lake, and the Crosby Saloon.  Grade: 3
