James, you are 100% correct with all you stated. However on at least half of it I have and enjoy the same things by belonging to the Silver Strikers Club. The other parts do not affect me because I do not collect chips or slot tokens. I have nothing against the CC>CC. It is a great clu for chip and slot token collectors. And strikers if you collect chips too. I only collect strikes therefor belonging to the CC>CC does zero for me. Everyone else naturally can and will do as they wish to do.

Enjoy collecting whatever, Dennis SS-094
