I also have made a "sour grapes post" just after the convention about the way the OShea's special strikes were handled and I called them "Dealer strikes" I still feel the same way today because we as a general membership never had a chance to play the machines for the strikes after the "dealer" took over the machines. I still feel that these (the Plaza two fer and the OShea's one of 100) are in this catagory and I don't/want need them in my collection. I am playing the the upcoming tournament and want those strikes because I have a chance to "win" them along with a hundred and fifty other collectors. I don't think there is a danger to our hobby having this type of promotion and welcome them because I feel it promotes our chapter. Thanks to Dennis, Marv, Art B., and alot more people like them I personally and having alot of fun.
