I guess it depends on how you see your collection.
As a investment, no machines, less new players, older strikes value will most likely come down.
Unless Silver goes thru the roof.
I think rising silver prices only helps common strikes.
As a collector, enjoy what you have ( common or rare )............. With silver going up, all those common ones become worth more ( at least for awhile), but any rare ones , if there are not buyers who will pay big bucks as a collectible....They become as valueable as a common in time..... We NEED machines to get new collectors, ( 1st Time ) and to keep current collectors, if you want to keep values up on hard to get ones from the past.
If the current trends continue, I think commons will be worth more ( just for the Silver ) and "rare" ones will become less valuable, as there won't be buyers anymore....
Thank god for 4 Queens, Slots, Palms, and Sam's , BUT, we need more machines ( 2nd time )...and what happens if those go away?
We're all sitting on a whole bunch of silver.....There seems to always be a market for Las Vegas and Nevada collectibles. so I guess all is not lost.....
But for the 3rd time, We need more silver strike machines !!!!!! 4 casinos with machines will not keep this Silver Strike hobby going .......So how can we reverse this trend?
