  I use to deal in vintage tube audio receivers. Many times the oak veneer cabinate (far from being anything fancy) would sell for more than the receiver in good condition. They used to pay several hundred dollars for them. Maybe this is kind of like that.

  Wow, a "super rare box." What a joke.

  Gah! ppl can be so stupid. Surely there are more productive ways to spend $500.

  I know quite a few people who feel the same way about folks like us paying anything over face value for a coin
  
  I totally enjoy the look on some folks faces when I tell them about the $5 Million Nickel ...

  Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free

  Funny thing is...
  
  I like the boxes.
  
  I cannot remember exactly why, but I was in a position last year where I had a Buffalo 2007 Proof in a capsule, but no box.
  
  I purchased a box from someone on the BST forum for $50. They probably thought I was nuts. I want my OCD Original Mint Packaging boxes to all match as much as possible. Fake mahogany veneer all around!
  
  
  But $500?!? Perhaps I should sell my boxes?
