Lets see you say you can't make the convention this year but you are real down on Norm suppling $200 strikes to the people who can't make it to the convention, I think you should have just kept quit about the whole thing. Also being new you will learn in time Norm does a great many people a great service getting them their strikes at pehaphs a lower price then they would have spent playing for one. The cost of a strike will more timees then not cost less if a person is playing for more then just one or two because it seems to average less per strike when playing for 20 or so, at least thats what I have found and Norm seems to sell for less than I would spend just for one strike.
Another thing is that it seems the new $200's willnot be in play for the convention so nobody it would seem is being denined the chance to play for one.
Just my thought and more than likely alot of folks won't agree.
