Peter, It appears that what you state is correct about People selling their Strikes. Have been collecting Strikes from all areas,& Values since 1993& started in Atlantic City,and as time goes on there seems to be less collectors,especially none Nevada. It appears that 95% of notes on this Board,are pertaining to Nevada Issues,doesn't anyone out there collect from other areas anymore?? Does anyboy have an idea as to how many active Collectors out there. If it were Coins then a Mintage of 700 would be considered Low. At the last show, at the Tropicana,the going rates on the Oshays issues,Mules,& Donkeys was Buy at $22.50,since the Machines were allways tied up. I know,I bought some. What are they worth Now!! My point is once everyone has one, where does the Price go from there!!
