Peter - I my last trip to Reno and Tahoe I saw the several people playing the strike machines and most were not collectors just people who thought the idea of winning something worth $10 for a quarter was a good bet (they were wrong)what i did find out is most of these people took what they won home to put in the drawer becasuse it was special to them, at Caesars I saw 6 people take 4 of the 4 in 1 strikes home and they wern't collectors, I was the only collector who was playing either of the two machines, in Reno it was the same way, at the airport I saw some Blues won and they went home with the people so that just killed anothe few full sets, this seems to be whats happening at the airport and they reason not a lot of airport strikes pop up in auction.
