Here's another "beginner" question: What is the most common way for Silver Strikes to reach the collector market? I assume SS collectors and dealers for the most part aren't playing slot machines to try to win them? (If they were I suspect current ones would be going for higher prices than they do ;-) ) Do they just hang around casinos watching for winners and asking them to sell them the strikes rather than turning them in at the cashier's window? Or are do connections with casino employees allow them to just purchase them in some cases?
