He reads the strikepoint then, so seller, if you are reading this, please identify yourself, it may give credibility to your explanation.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't past auctions have that whole story of going to Las Vegas four times a year to win strikes and then plating them? I didn't see anything about buying them from another source for $8, so right there was at least some "creative marketing" being done, as it was implied he won the strikes himself.
