I will not pay $450 for this strike. I would gladly spend much more than that to aquire the strike myself. Problem Is I am never in vegas on the actual day of the release. I was hoping the increased cost to aquire would stop the same few people from aquiring ALL the strikes on the day of release. It would be nice to actually be able to play for one and not have to be there on a certain day to get it. I can see why they sold out at the $200 exchange rate. The cost to aquire was about equal to the silver value. The average cost to aquire is well above the silver value at a $300 strike. I'm wondering where all 148 of the new $300's ended up. I'm guessing that they will start to show up and probably be priced at the $400 level in a true auction. (unless the price of silver goes way up or down) . I'm also guessing that the next $300 might not fly out of the cage so fast. Just my 2 cents. The new $300 is the only 4 queens issue I do not have and I will not pay $450 for it. I would be willing to pay $400. I will wait.
