Doesn't it sour your melon when...

You buy an "unopened" 1964 proof set because the picture is of an unopened proof set, but what you get is something else, sealed in a ca. 2003 printed envelope?

    Even better, when you buy an unopened 1964 proof set, and when you open it there is no paper and a 1962 (a crappy one at that) in it. Oops!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Now, you guys wouldn't be inferring that there are people selling unopened sets that aren't really unopened, would you?

    "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Could be!"

    And it didn't even have a spotty ol' AH to make it worth the premium I paid.
  • ursabear, who sold it to you?

    Someone on these boards said they had a good source for unopened proof sets from the late 50s and early 60s, but I don't recall who. If I order another, I think I'd like to try their source.
