General Discussion / Re: Michigan/ Detroit Chips Wa...

Last post by Barry Sherwood R-9037 (admin) - Feb 26, 2025, 01:34 PM

Hello, and welcome to the boards.  Just so you know, BUYING and SELLING is not allowed on the CCA message boards, but TRADING is actively encouraged.  I sent you a PM asking if you were a CCA member, and if you're not, to please consider joining.  Details can be found at https://ccgtcc.com/membership.  Also, please update your "Display Name" to be your real name.  That's one of prerequisites of using the board (no anonymity).

One of our members put together a nice educational piece on valuing and buying/selling casino items.  You can read it here:

Best of luck with your collection and I hope to see you at our annual convention, June 12-14 at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

General Discussion / Michigan/ Detroit Chips Wanted

Last post by EyeInSky - Feb 26, 2025, 01:20 PM

Looking for chips from Michigan Casinos. I have many of them already but trying to get some of the cool $5 ones that are out there, specifically the ones from Greektown in Detroit.


If anyone out there has any Michigan/ Detroit related chips, please let me know!!!

I also have a bunch of chips from televised heartland poker tournament that was held at Greektown Casino many years ago. Would love to trade or sell some to anyone interested.

And, it's nice to see the chip guide, message board, and the club are still very much intact. He would be thrilled with everyone who keeps the tech connection going. Have a great day!

What a sweet message, Barry. I'm confident you would have liked him—Greg never met a stranger. Thanks for reaching out.

Hi Carol.  I joined the CCA in 2019 and never had the pleasure of meeting Greg, but as you know, his name is synonymous with all things collectible as far as casinos go, and I'm grateful for everything he did to help create the club that exists today.

General Discussion / Early Computer Geeks-like Greg

Last post by Carol Susong Weigand - Feb 13, 2025, 06:16 PM

To all of you long time friends and chip cronies of Greg's, know you're not forgotten and I think fondly of you often.

Most recently you're in my thoughts as I read Bill Gates' "Source Code", the first part of his biographical trilogy that just came out this month.

Bill details his recollections of how he started Microsoft. So much of Greg's early entry into computer programming (he bought his first PC in early '81) parallels those early years for Gates.

If my memory serves, there are a few of you guys who conversed with Greg pre-internet on bulletin boards. It's a good read; I think you early pioneers in the PC market will enjoy Gates' telling of this part of history.

I see the club is still presenting the annual award in his memory—how kind and thoughtful of you.

My best to everyone!


Love,

Carol
