LOL ... 1969 Playboys are worth between $6 and $50 (depending on who you talk to)
The Jon Weber Manufactory set is worth that by itself :)
All together (without looking it up) I estimate the the cost I paid for the entire Tobacco Dice collection to be between $200 and $250 ... but since I dont sell dice ... even my duplicates ... the point is kind of moot -

May 2006 Highlights
#44If you are not interested in new or rare dice that were inventoried this month ... Ignore this post
Here are the highlights of the dice added in May 2006
EVENTS OF PARTICULAR NOTE:
==========================
I finally acquired a set of what I think to be mercury tappers (See Below) ... At least they perform just like I have heard tappers perform ... that is ... face the number you desire to roll up ... then tap the die on a hard surface ... then roll the die ... and it comes up the chosen number a majority of the time
DICE OF PARTICULAR NOTE:
========================
CHESSEX supplied me with a large number of dice this month
REFERENCE PACKS
---------------
...2005-06 OPAQUE & TRANSLUCENT
...2005-2006 SPECKLED
...2006 KEEPING IN STOCK
...2006 SIGNATURE
...DISCONTINUED
...GEMINI
CUSTOM DICE
-----------
...GENCON 2005 (amazing detail)
...Custom die made for me
...Eiffel Tower d10
...Weather Die
...I have no idea what THIS die is
CRYSTAL CASTE has a new line of "Treasure Chest" dice
...D20'S
...D12'S
...D10'S
...D8'S
...D6'S
...D4'S
GAMESTATION is now making SICHERMAN DICE for more on what these are CLICK HERE
... I also added their OLD ENGLISH Dice this month
Added the KOPLOW SPINDOWN DICE
I believe these to be MERCURY TAPPERS
THIS is a interesting die ... I am told it shows the 5 elements of Taoism
... 4 faces of the dice show animals :
...... The Dragon represents scaled animals
...... The Tiger represents furred animals
...... The Turtle represents shelled animals
...... The Bird represents feathers animals
... 1 face represent the Fith animal, the MAN.
... The last face of the dice is a flower and represents the vegetal world (but doesn’t belong to taoism theory)
... They are all connected to one of the 5 elements of Taoism:
...... Bird / Fire / Summer
...... Man / Earth / between Summer and Fall
...... Tiger / Metal / Fall
...... Turtle / Water / Winter
...... Dragon / Wood / Spring
... Thanks ... Romain Soulie of Shanghai for this explanation
Added a set of Mint condition black casino dice ... I have wanted a set of these for a while ... They are typically used for reserved games (private) and are rare ... but these are generic ... so they are not so rare
Finally got ahold of a set of Craig Heinze's MICKEY MOUSE DICE

Re: Dice Talk
#48I've been thinking about getting a set of the dice made of actual bone recently. I've read a couple bad reviews on them about the numbers being hard to read and the dice just being of poor quality. Do you have an opinion of these dice? http://www.rpgshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=36295& -

US HOLIDAYS. It is amazing to me what we will make an official holiday.
I am trying to find where / from whom this was initiated ... I get the impression that it is a US 'day' ... if it is officially recognized ... I would think it would be in the Congressional Record somewhere ... I searched back to 1994 and did not find anything -

#68Mr. Cook, you are a wonderful madman! :up: I just wanted to say that.
Also, we would like to order 12 special, six-sided bad boys, with "StrolenCon 07'" in small print on one of the six faces of the cube.
Is that doable? How much? Say if we wanted them made out of, ummm, anyone have any ideas? -

Very doable ... Just 12? ... Chessex is the way to go ... They charge about $1 a die for a standard 5/8 in ... Would you mind making and extra pair ... so I can add them to the collection and the Gaming Industy dice theme? -
Re: Dice Talk
#7030 of those look good to me.

#80I happened to search a little for submissions based on dice, but found the results disappointing... clearly, we need more dice-related submissions! (Perhaps the author of this thread, a master of the topic, could make some? *hint-hint-nudge-nudge* )
Knuckle Roller - a dice game
Enemy Dice - a dice plot
(that seems to be all we've got)
