Hi Everybody,

Since there HAS TO BE something done because of the high price of silver. I VOTE -- HSP -- and this will NOT affect my collecting. I already have most all of the cruise ship HSP's

In fact -- in my recent 2008 convention exhibit I was attempting to make a point about HSP difference in looks -- which is NONE to NONE. Making strikes HSP will take the SILVER HORDER out of the hobby. Do you collect the strikes for the SILVER or for the fun of it?????????

ALL of you who who say they will STOP collecting silver strikes because they are HSP. Will only hurt yourselves AND the hobby. Check the cruise ships & Jonny Nolands(just was there) & Black Diamond HSP prices AND LOOKS.

The casinos can always go back to solid silver if the price of silver goes down--which I doubt --. And if there is enought demand for going back.

There are a number of reasons to go to HSP strikes. The main 1 being to keep THE COST DOWN to play the SS machines to win them. So we and especially the tourist(who actually keeps this hobby going) can/will want & afford to play for them.
