Norman it looks like you have the handle on things. You mentioned two,guess that refers to John Saunders and Myself. Thought that the Queens had put a one fill limit on playing their Machine,during the Convention!! Just wondering if you may know the Woman who played for their Friend as Stated by them. You also stated about being small time players,& not knowing where the Machines are. Sorry to disapoint you.,but I started Collecting when Strikes first came out,in A/C & Mississippi,back around 1992 & then on to Nevada. Played for the $2 Strikes. Do you remember them? They were in Nickel Machines. There were a small group of Collectors at that time who I traded with. Perhaps you may know some of them. Mary Lou Waterbury, Ray Moritz, Art Quivey, Les Hassel & A few others,who have either Passed away ,or have given up Collecting. This was before the Club was formed. Bought Strikes from Jack Haddock,& Ed Hoffman also. Have Quite an extensive Collection,but am not here to brag about Numbers. Remember when the Queens pulled the Machine with the Millennium, a few Years back, the Manager gave the Cage permission to Purchase what ever was available. Bought 3 Sets & left the rest for other Collectors. Not against buying and selling,just believe in giving the other guy a chance. Oh! by the way do you collect Silver Strikes??
