Exhibit

I have traded messages with Dan H. -- we will talk shortly to discuss logistics -- and whether a scaled back display would be more feasible. That said, my hope is to aim for the full display (along with educational exhibits -- such as a line-up of MGM Tokens with different stages of Die Cracks to go along with a Minting Process Exhibit, etc.

If you have any of these which are in Mint condition and are willing to sell, I am always willing to pay a fair price within the guidebook range – just e-mail me back with those you wish to sell and your price for each. I am traveling for the next 2-3 days, but will respond asap to all offers.

Thank you very much for all of your support (and for all of your suggestions to make this a better, more informative display -- to help bring in new members).

PS -- This will be a Joint Display with Dan (and anyone else who wishes to contribute). Additionally, a few Members have already promised to lend one-of-a-kind strikes -- and it is much appreciated.

Lastly, don't assume that the Strike program is "dead". A lot of valued casino customers have had conversations with at least 6 (that I know of) large casinos and have received positive responses from Senior Management (although how that translates down to the Slot Manager level, I do not pretend to know). Most importantily, keep "striking". Any decisions by individual casinos (or a new entity to run the whole program) will be affected by the volume and profitability of the machines (now more than ever).

Best wishes,

Dave W.
