General Discussion / Announcing the CCA Social Medi...
Last post by Bob Miksztal R-8909 - Mar 25, 2026, 05:04 PMIn order to better connect with the public, CCA will be having a focused effort to get local Social Media influencers into the 2026 Show at SouthPoint. We all know how great the show is, we want to get them to show their audiences too.
We are inviting them to the show for a Thursday 9 am "Sneak Preview". We will encourage them to tour the show, take photos and video, talk with experienced gaming memorabilia historians, meet avid collectors and share the experience.
Details are evolving but we are asking for your help.
First: if you have a favorite Social Media account that covers Las Vegas activities, gaming history or gaming collectibles, let us know by responding here. We know the big ones (Vegas Matt, Vegas Starfish, Vegas Pauly C, SayHiToMatt), but we are looking for smaller ones too.
Second: if you have a direct connection with a Social Media platform or influencer, please reach out to Bob Miksztal (greatoz99@yahoo.com) or Brad Smith (publicity@ccgtcc.com)

General Discussion / Video Messages
Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Mar 24, 2026, 12:41 AMThis message is primarily for all of the club chairs, directors, officers, and anyone in charge of anything to do with the club.
I think We need to put out more video messages for things that we normally push out as text posts. Just spit balling here, but David Spragg could make a video about the convention. I can make a video about the auction. James Hogg could make a video about the raffle. Trey Warren can make a video about the OTY awards. Scot Parriott could make a video about volunteering at the convention. There are lots of topics and I think it adds a little pizzazz to the underlying messages that we deliver on a regular basis.
Well, the videos could simply be a person delivering a verbal message to the world, it would be nice if there were some background graphics, moving images, video, clips, photographs, graphs, etc. to embellish the videos and make them more active/interactive.
Our social media feeds don't have very much content. Mostly just echoes of what we post on the club forms and the Chip board. But YouTube and Facebook lend themselves very well to video content and we should be taking advantage of that.
With that said, it would be nice if we had members with video production talent make themselves available to assist in this endeavor. I am not one of those people, so I am posting this in the general discussion board in hopes that some of you who do have those talents will step up and say you will help any of our chairs and directors create a video.
What are everyone's thoughts on this? And more importantly, who wants to raise their hand and help produce these videos?

General Discussion / The return of Mike Brodeur!
Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Mar 20, 2026, 05:50 PMMike Brodeur, who you all know is the father of the current club website, had a little health scare last year but is back in action and excited to jump back into the technology role of webmaster (and more).
I'm personally excited because I get to take off another hat that I've been wearing for the past several months.
If you have any comments or suggestions about the website or any of the club's other new technology, there's a feedback form on the website at:

Welcome back, Mike!

General Discussion / Bob Pardue Is New CCA Promotio...
Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Mar 20, 2026, 03:32 PMI am happy to announce that I get to cross one more title off of my email signature (or as one board member calls it, my "Vanity Card"). Bob Pardue has agreed to take on the role of Promotions Director, at least for the rest of this year.
In this role, he will manage procurement of club merchandise to be sold at the convention, but more importantly...
He will be implementing an online fulfillment mechanism which will allow members to order a wider variety of items that the club logo will be printed or embroidered on and have them produced and shipped directly from the factory without the club having to buy quantities of each item, store them between shows, and haul unsold merch to and from the storage unit each year.
Bob has already produced a detailed outline of his plan, along with an analysis of several suitable vendors to make this happen. Bob's just getting cranked up, so please be patient. I'm sure he will be reporting on his progress as he moves forward.
The net result of this effort will be less carry-over (show surplus) year to year, less storage space needed, higher sales volumes and more items with our brand on them on display around the world. Please join me in welcoming Bob to this new position.
I'm still on the hunt for a Social Media Director (current opening) and an Auction Chair (train this year for next year).

Last post by Sanford Moskowitz R-9455 - Mar 18, 2026, 01:30 PMGreat work to everyone who worked on the magazine! It's so convenient that it's digital now.
One suggestion: I think a PDF download would be nice, the flipbook website was really buggy on my phone

General Discussion / Bug report: Numeric overflow o...
Last post by Sanford Moskowitz R-9455 - Mar 10, 2026, 12:24 PMI seems that the denom field on ChipGuide has a numeric overflow for values ≥1B.
Probably not a big issue since very few chips would have such crazy values, but thought it would be good to report the bug just in case! I've been curious about extremely high denom chips and noticed this.
Screenshot attached.
