Hi Don,
Just wanted to add to your message. I had been to Tunica on perhaps four, or five occasions, but was not smart enough to P/u a $200. One day I called and was given the Manager who told Me that they had all strikes in the vault, as the machines were gone, would sell,but would not mail any out. Unfortunately, I waited till my next visit, which was a while later,& was told they had shipped all strikes to fitz ,in Reno to destroy. I was able to get two from Fitz, in Reno, previously but the Tunica were not there at that time, as of yet. Did go back to Reno again and was told down stairs that they had taken a $200 Reno in the night before, so I went upstairs, but was informed that someone else got there before Me. Traded one of the first pair. Really about gave it away. Still would bet there are perhaps a few of the Tunica around, but are not held by a collector. Years back found a couple of Pawn shops, who were selling strikes under face, including a few $200s so they were cashed by persons who did not collect, or try to sell them.
