About
Gaming Archeology is a passion-driven venture founded by Howard Herz, dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of gaming, art, and collectible culture. Based in Nevada’s Carson Valley and Reno region—areas deeply rooted in gaming heritage—Howard has spent years curating a unique collection of keepsakes that tell stories from the past.

What began as a personal fascination with vintage gaming memorabilia has evolved into a carefully assembled collection of rare and meaningful items. From antique casino chips and historic gaming tokens to fine art and distinctive collectibles, each piece offered through Gaming Archeology reflects a commitment to authenticity, craftsmanship, and history.

Howard approaches collecting not just as a business, but as a form of storytelling—uncovering the hidden narratives behind each object and preserving them for future generations. His eye for detail and appreciation for the cultural significance of these items ensures that every piece has both aesthetic and historical value.

At Gaming Archeology, visitors and collectors alike can explore a curated selection of treasures that bridge the worlds of gaming history and fine art. Whether you are a seasoned collector, a history enthusiast, or someone searching for a unique piece with character, you’ll find items that capture the spirit of a bygone era.
