Steve, You have some good points in what you say. I wish it was Mark who was doing the answering though as to what and why. Naturally he does not need to answer anything and he can just leave it as it is as I expect he will. And I agree that some canino's do indeed produce way to many of the $200 issues. Slots A Fun did 125 and they flew out the doors. Plams did 150 and they flew out the doors even faster. It is certanly in the design. If you have a boring design like Shoes from the Mirage it will be around for along time. Playboy from the Palms, what, a week and those hopped out as fast as they could. Elvira will be scary how fast they go. All in the right design and 200 will go right out the door almost as fast as 100 will. There are more than 200 collectors who would like to add Elvira to their collections. Half of those who want one will not be able to get one because the casino did not produce enough to keep the majorty of collectors happy. I don't know, sounds like a good business idea but not thought out enough and casino personal who do not listen to their clients, us collectors. And no I am not crying or whining. I like things to be fair across the board for all collectors. Out of the what 40 something $200 strikes issued throught Nevada I have less than half. I am very happy with that because I either won them or traded for them. Never bought a one.

Just my opinion, Dennis SS-094
