General Discussion / TO ALL 2025/2026 CCA CONVENTIO...
Last post by SCOT PARRIOTT R-8774 - Feb 26, 2026, 06:38 PMHELLO EVERYONE,
IT'S THAT TIME WHEN WE ARE LOOKING FOR THIS YEARS 2026 CCA CONVENTION VOLUNTEERS.
WE ARE DOING SOMETHING NEW THIS YEAR AND IT WILL MOST DEFINITELY MAKE THE FUTURE FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS MUCH EASIER FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. I WRANGLED THE FAMOUS TEXAN,MIKE NAWROCKI INTO SETTING UP A GOOGLE SHEET FOR ALL CONVENTION VOLUNTEER SPOTS. TO BE HONEST, HE HAS WANTED TO DO IT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW AND THIS WAS THE BEST TIME TO JUMP IN.
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, I HAVE THE COMPUTER SKILLS OF A FIRST GRADER BUT MIKE ASSURED ME THIS WILL BE ALMOST FOOL PROOF. I HAVE GIVEN MIKE LAST YEARS VOLUNTEER LIST AND WE ARE STILL CONTACTING A FEW MORE OF THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF THE SPECIFIC VOLUNTEER AREAS TO GET THEIR INPUT. WHEN THE GOOGLE SHEETS COME OUT, IT WILL HAVE THE VOLUNTEER POSITIONS, DAYS AND HOURS NEEDED WITH COLOR CODED BOXES. SOME WILL ALREADY BE FILLED WITH A VOLUNTEERS NAME AND SOME WITH WHAT'S VACANT AND NEEDING TO BE FILLED BY US. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLICK A VOLUNTEER TAB AND THERE WILL BE A SCREEN POP UP THAT YOU CAN CLICK THE POSITION AND FILL OUT YOUR PREFERENCE. IT WILL THEN EMAIL ME RIGHT AWAY. I WILL CHECK MY EMAIL A DOZEN TIMES A DAY AND IMMEDIATELY PUT YOU DOWN FOR THAT EXACT SPOT YOU ASKED FOR. THIS WAY YOU CAN SEE YOUR NAME ASSOCIATED WITH VOLUNTEER SHEET.
MIKE WILL PUT THIS LIVE ON 4/1/2026, APRIL FOOLS DAY. MIKE SAID THAT DAY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME BUT HE'S STILL GONNA OWE ME A COUPLE OF SOUTH POINT VIENNA BEEF DOGS EITHER WAY. 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭.
FOR ALL CCA CONVENTION VOLUNTEERS FROM LAST YEAR, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THESE SAME VOLUNTEER SPOTS YOU HAD IN 2025, WE ARE GIVING YOU ALL FIRST DIBBS ON THOSE SPOTS IF YOU WANT THEM. IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE TIMES, I CAN ALSO MAKE THAT HAPPEN AS WELL. I
WE ARE ALSO DOING THE FREE VOLUNTEER RECEPTION AT 7:00PM ON THE LAST DAY OF THE CONVENTION. THERE WILL BE SOME FOOD,DRINKS (NO BOOZE) AND SWEETS. LAST YEAR HAD SOME GREAT ITEMS ALONG WITH A GREAT SPEAKER.
AT THE RECEPTION, WE WILL HAND OUT YOUR VOLUNTEER PLAQUE/CHIP AS WE HAVE FOR MANY YEARS. FOR THOSE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE VOLUNTEER RECEPTION, LET ME KNOW AND I CAN GIVE YOU YOUR PLAQUE/CHIP DURING THE SHOW AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST TO SAVE THE CLUB FROM SHIPPING THEM.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL TO EMAIL ME OR POST HERE.
THANKS TO ALL CCA VOLUNTEERS AND YOUR FAMILIES WHO ALSO HELP OUT THE CLUB EVERY CONVENTION. WE CAN'T DO THESE CONVENTIONS WITHOUT ALL OF YOU HARD WORKERS.

General Discussion / Re: Flamingo Collector Series ...
Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Feb 19, 2026, 12:20 PMWe're going to find out the value of that last set (aircraft) at the club auction in June. A CCA Member donated that set to be auctioned off. in general, I would think selling an intact set of chips all with the same serial number would fetch more value. Just a quick reminder (to all), no buying or selling is allowed to take place in these message boards at this time, so be sure not to solicit offers. Otherwise, post away!

General Discussion / Flamingo Collector Series Chip...
Last post by chicochips - Feb 19, 2026, 11:46 AMI'm going to be liquidating the last of what casino chips and memorabilia I still own, to save my kids the aggravation. My question: I have three 1996 car series collections from each of the Nevada Flamingo Hiltons, and a 1997 Flamingo - Reno military flight collection that was issued in conjunction with the Reno Air Races. These all have an identical issue number of 90. Is there any value in keeping the collection together, or should I break it up into individual sets, or even individual chips. There is greater valuation on specific chips.
Thanks for any feedback

Topic: How to Find Chips on the ChipGuide
Speaker: Charles Kaplan
Description
Some chips are easy to find, the casino name and location are right on the chip.
But there are many chips that lack identification.
This seminar will demonstrate how to locate hard to find chips
on the ChipGuide using the ChipGuide's search features.
Register for Zoom Meeting: https://themogh.org/mogh.php?p=seminars&r=6
I need your images of some chips that are already on the ChipGuide, or should be on the ChipGuide, and are difficult to locate.
I will need several of them for the demonstration.
Please email your chips to me directly, don't post them on the ChipBoard.
If I use one of chips in the seminar, you will be rewarded with a free $5 casino chip.

General Discussion / Mentor wanted: Harley Davidson...
Last post by Bob Miksztal R-8909 - Feb 13, 2026, 11:11 AMAs Barry announced on the club forum back in Jan, I have been appointed the new Mentor Director. https://forum.ccgtcc.com/index.php?topic=588.0
We have a new member who has questions about collecting Harley Davidson chips, an area I know nothing about.
Are there Harley Davidson Chip experts who would be willing to mentor this new collector? It's not a huge commitment, mostly being a friendly ear to bounces questions off of, give advice, etc.
If you are interested please contact me at: mentor@ccgtcc.com
Thanks!
- Bob
