    hampionships' dice from the World Amateur Backgammon Championships. The event was held in Las Vegas from the late 1970s through the early 1980s, often at the Dunes Hotel with six figure prize money to the winner. These dice were issued in two of the 1970s events to all players upon registration and were required to be used in match play.
    The winning bidder will receive two pairs of solid yellow dice and one pair of clear green dice. The solid dice were issued first and then the tournament switched to clear dice to further protect against cheating. Both dice are marked "ABC" on the ace face. "ABC" represented the tournament organizer "American Backgammon Championships."
    Just for reference, I have pictured the frontis and an internal page from the 1978 tournament invitation, but THE INVITATION IS NOT PART OF THIS AUCTION.
    As always, bidding begins at 77¢ and there is NO RESERVE. The winning bidder pays a flat shipping charge of and I will only ship to United States addresses. The Auction closes at 10:40am Chicago Time on Thursday, July 29. Good luck!
