let's get REAL people how many TRUE collectors are there of $200.00 strikes ? 100 i think NOT!

I agree, so why are people who do collect them getting screwed around?

The casino sold out an issue of 200, without it taking a month or some long "storage" period.

Every time the issue is 100, there's a grab fest and a bunch more of collectors are alienated by the casino.

Why can't the casino make 150 so the dealers can fill their orders, the collectors can get theirs and they sell out in a couple of days. Everyone is happy.

Some of those collectors have stopped _buying_ $200 strikes, because they can't win them and the only way is to have a connection and pay a steep premium.

I seem to remember people yelling about how we should play the machines, or they will be gone. Why play when all you have to do is mail off a check to some Las Vegas dealer?

Why play when you can't win the strike you want anyway.

Why bother even going to the casino when you can stay home and get the strikes from an auction.

YOUR math price to win strikes + time i think $550.00-$ 600.00 is VERY fair lets not at be frugil here this is NOT walmart

No kidding? You think double the price it would cost to win in person is a VERY fair price? Or is that only when you are selling them. How about when you are buying somthing, do you pay top dollar or try to be frugil?
