As a collector, I feel one has to go with what prices they feel are a fair price to pay for an item they wish to have in their collection.....sometimes I hold strikes from being sold right away from a trip like the tournament or convention, and later trade or sell at a higher value than I won them at....does that make me a panic, greed or whatever a person???? Sometimes you may luck out and maybe holding the right strikes you come out ahead and have that extra cash to bid on strikes you really want!!!I do not feel "THEY" are out there to get us....you are all smart people and I would hope you each decide what price is the right price for you to bid and not be led in any way by the dealers selling these strikes....Christine F.
