To Bob Gellman. Brought him the rules - with diagrams for THE GAME CUBE. 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.
Bob told me to send him a bill for the $500.
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 Douglas Polumbaum, 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.
Bob had a game there - CARD CHES. 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. A
Also borrowed ENERGY CRISIS GAME to reproduce. Looked at SET POINT but it didn't seem that the board would reproduce in black and white, and it was complicated, so left it for another time.
