Bingo daubers are ink-filled bottles or pens with a foam tip and they are used to mark called bingo numbers. When you touch the bingo card with the foam tip, it marks the square.

Until I visited some of the bigger bingo halls recently I thought bingo daubers were not something worthy of a discussion. What an eye opener! Did you know that bingo daubers are much more than ink markers? I saw more variations of bingo daubers than I ever thought possible.

Some of the ordinary bingo daubers were normal ink bingo daubers – blue, yellow, red and pink were to be seen everywhere. But when one takes a closer look, you will find something most interesting. Bingo daubers have become a collection item to many bingo players!

You can be patriotic with various “Uncle Sam” bingo daubers, or trendy with fluorescent bingo daubers or glitter bingo daubers.

Some of the most interesting bingo daubers I’ve seen are the special ones for the ladies.

You can now buy a “Romeo” bingo dauber. This dauber comes complete with a Speedo bathing suit, tattoo and ponytail! Or you can buy the “Top Hat Romeo” bingo dauber, which is wearing a Speedo bathing suit, tattoo, ponytail and of course a top hat and tuxedo!

Another great collector’s item is the Elvis bingo dauber! Yes, the King himself to help you mark off those winning numbers. You can even buy an Elvis Bingo Dauber Bag with various Elvis bingo daubers.

Other great bingo daubers are holiday or seasonal bingo daubers. You can buy anything from Christmas bingo daubers to Easter bingo daubers!

A trend that is becoming very popular is online auctions for bingo daubers. Some collector’s bingo daubers are for sale at surprisingly high prices! As with any other collector’s item, the scarcity of the bingo daubers influences their price greatly.

Something one should always keep in mind is the role bingo daubers play in bingo luck. Most bingo players are very superstitious about their bingo daubers. Most bingo players believe that the shape, size, type or even color of the bingo dauber plays a very important role in determining whether they will win the bingo game or not.

The good news is that you can always collect bingo daubers, even if you play online bingo. Bingo daubers are more than ink markers, they are lots of fun, awesome gifts and collecting them can be a great hobby!
