Mike, O'Shea's was in fact the first convention strike. It was limited to 500. But, it was included in the same hoppers as the yellow cap double header Donkey and Elephant. It was the CC>CC logo and was in a clear capsule. There were ten per hopper, so with the yellow cap, that was a very worthwhile hopper indeed. O'Shea's limited the players to a full hopper. Lots of folks missed out on their prepaid banquet reservations as the lines stretched to 12 hours or longer and the casino started play about 1PM the day of the banquet.
I omitted it because of the lateness of the hour and advancing age which takes a daily toll on my once vise-like mind.
