Re: Frontier Saddle - odd or lucky..
When the Frontier was about to close, they sold strikes from the cage, and apparently there were a bunch of Gilley's Saddles. rspunkmeyer is another eBay seller, as well as this one as Dennis stated, that has since flooded the market with them, and turned a $450 strike into a $180 strike. I seriously doubt there were 100 of these made based on the number of them that have hit the market in the last two months or so. When you flood the market with a rare strike, even if there really are only 100, you give the appearance that there are many of them and they become more common and the price drops drastically. It's funny, in the rush to sell them at an incredible profit (they were bought for face value), these people who scooped them all up at the cage are actually losing money....it's good for collector's who want one at a more affordable rate though...
