<p>[QUOTE="whopper64, post: 7641948, member: 101364"]I agree with most others that the First Strike, Early Releases, etc. are just a market ploy by the TPG's to make more money. The fact that the U.S. Mint states that there is no such thing in reality means something. Most all of us have no idea if the actual first 10,000 or 50,000 are put aside and sent to the major dealers. So anyone falling for the date restrictions/submittals is just throwing away their money to the TPG's. Is there a relative of P.T. Barnum at each TPG?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
