Hey Tom
I do agree with you. My good friend Ted (hey Ted) sometimes does feel he is being attacked when someone is only trying to have a civil debate and not agreeing with him. I like Ted a lot and he is one of the best hosts a guy could have, while said guy is freeloading at his house

. Barry and wife were great hosts too, again as I was freeloading at their abode. Basically I just go from city to city freeloading and staying at board member's houses. I just need to find a place that will accept me, my wife and my soon to be 14 yr old, and I will have it made

.
But getting back to the strip debate I am glad some good info has come out and the post(s) about the printing processes are extremely good. After reading everything in this thread I am in the "single strip" camp.
I hope everyone will continue to post, be civil and debate our little gems. That is what this board is best for...and I might add has more collective knowledge about vintage cards on it than anywhere else I can think of. best regards
