Perhaps it is time to free ourselves from the monopolistic practices in the strike world.
Any number of strike enthusiasts could form a cooperative. Funds could be pooled to employ the paid player methods which are now used against us.
Members of the cooperative would receive the desired strikes at cost. Funding to be turned over for the next play. One of more Las Vegas and or Nevada residents would have to be included to provide instant response to new releases.

Any other collectors tired of being at the mercy of the few? An obnoxious few at that. Here is a function that could be a true assest to the club.
If not a non club sponsored cooperative could still be formed.
