To <u>Bob Gellman</u>. Brought him the rules - with diagrams for
<u>THE GAME CUBE</u>. He was happy with them - but I tried to convince him to
read them over, or have someone else do it - I might have had a blind spot.
He said he'd try.
<br>Bob told me to send him a bill for the $500.
<br>When Bob bought Itemation's assets he acquired a giant checker game, with
the right to use a mold for the giant checkers. But somehow the mold
ended up with a "mechanic's lein" and was sold to Cardinal. The heads
of Cardinal are friends of <u>Douglas Polumbaum</u>, but Bob took it philo-
sophically. He asked if I knew a supplier of giant checkers - there
would be a good "finder's fee." Unfortunately - no.
<br>Bob had a game there - <u>CARD CHES</u>. It was put on independently and
the inventor - an advertising man - and he approached Bob about
selling it. Bob suggested Brentanos on his own. The fellow didn't
connect at Brentano's but has sold the 500 he had manufactured to
various stores. Now he wants to put out another 5000, which Bob told
him was quite a gamble. I borrowed the set to get repros at
S.P.I. <s>A</s>
<br>Also borrowed <u>ENERGY CRISIS GAME</u> to reproduce. Looked at <u>SET POINT</u>
but it didn't seem that the board would reproduce in black and
white, and it was complicated, so left it for another time.
