This sort of thinking is the problem, I don't care if all my strikes were worth $1.00 or $100 each. I collected my strikes because I am enjoyed collecting them and will always have them. Not enough people coming into the hobby which is always the downfall of anything good. To keep something going, it needs growth and the silver strike program has not had that unfortunatly. This should be a hobby and not as an investment, if you want to invest buy property. Have fun and to heck with the value.
