Anyone else carry with them or keep items that you feel bring you good luck? I carry an Aladdin's Castle token and a 1971 quarter in my wallet. The token was found in my first arcade game Astro Blaster and was the main arcade I hung out in back in the day. The 1971 quarter is just my birth year with no other significance.

 
trifecta

the 'old' aladdin's token with the turban!

astro blaster, in general!

1971, the year of magical births!
 
That's funny. I don't carry anything, but I do have a 'Space Amusement' token, which are supposedly the ones that were originally used in Walter Day's arcade, back in Ottumwa.

I've been wondering what to do with it, but it never occurred to me to carry it as a good luck charm. That's a good idea. I suppose it also increases the chances of me losing it, but maybe it's worth the risk. :)
 
Lol ya when I find coins in games I consider it a good omen... Ones that do not have them always seem to cause me issues ..

And I always keep at least one of them in the cab it came from. Good mojo never hurts...
 
sometimes he opts for the 2-board stack as well ...
