Hi Marv; I have about ten of the Aladdin silver strikes in my duplicate inventory. The seller's starting bid is certainly fair ... though I agree with you, I don't think they are particularly rare. Seldom seen? Sure.

As for the $20 Hard Rock strikes. The seller states in his text that "they are very hard to find", but it is my opinion, that in itself does not make them "rare" ... as his title proclaims. Would be interested in what other silver strikers think? Might be a good subject for a poll in one of the future SS Chapter newsletters..... What do you think?
