Great information, as always and will add that Jkbosco sold me my first $7 strike. He was a manager at that time and there was a no trading policy at his casino but he came out to talk about strikes in general as I was somewhat new to the hobby. He pulled this $7 strike out of his pocket and sold it to me for $7, as they were no longer in play. "Book" value, which was not even available then, is about $200 for this strike and the "Books" are kind of out of date. We have been friends for a long time, also sharing information about different topics as he is an expert on Computers, Electronics and who knows what else. Just finished finding out what kind of DVD player to get. Have always had good advice, which I take, and as for trading and selling strikes, you cannot do better than Jeff. Check out his other eBay items sometime, you may be surprised. I think it is great that all this information is finally getting to us as collectors..thanks Jeff....Peter
