How hard is it to find South African proof sets in original boxes?

I bought some originals at the chicago show..( sorry no pics) ...I bought a 1952 and 1954. I really liked them.

    The 1952 seems to be the most common, the '54 not so much. Still, all of them are somewhat scarce.

    These are beautiful sets, provided the coins haven't been fingered. Australian sets of 1955 and 1957 are nice also. The large copper coins take on a special character over time.

    I found a number of cased SA sets 5 or 6 years ago at a local dealer. He was glad to unload them as there was little demand for them at the time. Things have changed since then.
