The $10 Bourbon Street strike is indeed very hard and scarce to come by and worth in the $250 range on up. I once had an "interesting" conversation with an employee of the Bourbon Street Casino who indicated that every $10 strike returned for redemption was emediately "scarfed" up by a trio of cashiers who had a nice little "lucrative" business going on the "side" with some "unamed" silver strike collector/dealer!Ces't la vie!
