Christie; Don't let anyone bully you into how you "should" enjoy your hobby. How one collector enjoys his/her hobby can not be force-fed on to others.... nor should they be so adamantly telling others how they should aquire their strikes. Live and let live.

I still remember those rare Space-themed A.C. strikes that you and Dennis successfully won on ebay last year. I'm sure there was no finer thrill experienced when you both were notified that you were the winners.
