John, I agree with you. Sadly especially the new collector will be driven away. And a few of the old timers as well. I know when I started some six years ago I knew I would never have all of the strikes. But that was because I could not find them to be had, not because the casino's were putting a corner on the collecting market. I don't have a 2 fer either and now I know I will not have this one. I can live with it myself by just adding it to my want list and my life will go on. Just another hole in my collectoin though. Oh well. Maybe I will find this one at a swap meet some day. I do have mixed feelings about "chase" strikes or limited numbers. I like it because we all know exactly what is available but yet I also sort of like the mistery of how many of the Clown error, San Remo error, etc. were really minted and so on. I cannot put hundres in any machine for any strike. Just my thoughts.
