In defense for the Casinos, they are there to make money and no other reason. They have created a collectible that we the collectors desire. They do not force us to play the machines nor do they make any extra money from selling them on EBAY or Jackpot Auctions. We the hobby should be grateful that they produce these tokens for us to take home instead of coming home broke. How many of us received comps from these casinos just to satisfy our collecting sickness? Our hobby has hit the radar screen because of their marketing strategy. We now attract the scrupulous dealers who try to profit from our hobby. It is the dealers who are causing the problems, but they are just suplying the demand of the collectors who just GOT TO HAVE IT. If we stop buying from these guys, they will stay away and the Silver Strike community will be happy once again. Jusy my thoughts.
