Hey tokeneer, This is probably the first time ever I have agreed with you on something!!
Get flak from me? No, sir, I am behind you 110% and glad to see someone stand up for some sence and reason in this hobby for a change!!
Make Strikes AND CHIPS for everyone and stop this insane instant rarity stuff so just a few can make big bucks.
Some seem to keep yapping, "You can't have everything". Well, we could have everything if enough were made to go around at reasonable prices. Our collection had EVERY SINGLE CASINO CHIP issued in the state of Nevada from 1980 to 1998 up through the $25 denomination, both table chips and commemoratives (NOW they are called LE'S, right "limited editions". All of a sudden one day we hear a $25 that we didn't even know about has been issued (100 only made) and it is listed by someone we know quite well for $75 by 8 o'clock that night. So-o-o-o, NO, we could no longer have everything. And it has done nothing but gotten worse ever since. Now they have started on Silver Strikes and these will go the same darned way. Enough soap box for now. You people out there will all be sorry I am not working and will now be getting back to my collecting. Janice O'Neal (past vice-president
