I'd have to say some of the biggest customers have to be those big buildings full of sad people with money falling out of their pockets...staring at roulette wheels, slot machines with buttons instead of the traditional pull-stick (all the faster to take your money) and stacked decks.

House always wins, even when they don't. All they have to do is get some sucker on an adrenaline rush, who just won big and can't believe his luck that on the way out the door he spotted a GEN-U-WINE Josh Gibson autograph in the Gift shop, for the too good to be true price of $5000.

Oh, and Cruise ships. Those are good places to sell this sort of stuff and take advantage of somewhat hazy seafaring commerce laws, and marks throwing away their vacation money.
