Gene Trimble does not collect Silver Strikes but he has been one of our best supporters since the Palms put in their Silver Strike machines. I know he has helped a lot of collectors including myself.
We had the pleasure of meeting Don Hallmark this trip at the Palms. He spent many hours on the casino floor meeting, talking and listening to Silver Strike collectors.
The Palms has one of the best silver strike programs and has supported us since the beginning.
They were very generous this convention with giving the chapter their time and also minting and giving silver strike collectors a special coin from this convention.
I really think you should move on the Beanie Baby board, I'm sure they could use someone like you to support their hobby and complaints.
