For Jim and the rest of the collectors who are on the band wagon against old collectors like Archie, my self and several others for sending strike history to the melting pot I say step up and pay a reasonable price for the strikes we have offered for sale or drop the comments being made. Right now is a great time for some body who wish's to continue to collect to buy short run, error and rare strikes at a real great price but you should know we won't give them away as some of you think we should.
I have had a few folks offer to do me a great big favor and take my collection off my hands for less than face value, while I might not be the best at making max money from my collection I would rather skip the strikes across a lake for the fun of it than to take low ball offers.
Step up and buy the strikes for more than melt or a good reasonable offer and safe history.
