He'll only get hit for taxes on the Net Profit. He's probably spending about $80/sale. If he sells 100 sets for a average of $420 profit per set, he's making $42,000 while investing only $150,000. That's a great ROI. >>
More like $110 in Ebay/PP fees and he's not charging for shipping so thats another $20 per on him. I'd say $375 per set average, then a nice little fat tax bill on the profits. Not moon money, but easy money given he didn't have to put much work into selling them.

The APs that are actually selling to the masses are doing so in a very staggered manner. The MTB sets are out now, the Ftrade sets likely in a few weeks, DG?, CNT even later, etc. If this pattern holds, once the bulk GC friend ebay sellers sell out I could see the prices going back up.

Congratulations to Gyromac from our boards for getting (what I believe to be) the first set of coins into PCGS for grading (which I submitted for him) and Gyromac (Eric W) is personally thanked in the blog now as well. Due to early technology problems with the slabs, etc., there is no way to know for sure whether Gyromac's set (or any one coin) actually got slabbed first though. But, I believe, at least Gyromac can pat himself on the back for getting the very first set in for grading at PCGS. Not to mention the set was graded MS64, MS65, MS66, MS67 and MS68 - a perfect "grading set" for these hockey pucks! Sorry Eric ... just looking for the "silver lining" on these grades. Perhaps a collector out there might like an example of every PCGS grade from MS64 through MS68

The NGC slabs are so much nicer looking then these with the custom state park labels and the side view gasket. If you are looking to perserve a set for yourself those are the ones I'd go for. PCGS may get more respect in the collectors mine though, but their slabs are butt plain.

You are not pushing for a new "First Slabbed" label on the holders are you?
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
I'm going to show my age now, but remember way back in the day (in the 60s and 70s) when anything grading even 65 direct from the Mint was considered a skyrocket?
I was looking back at some old proof sets from the 50s and 60s the other night...and I just love the little card they included that essentially said, "We checked. They're perfect. And that's not really a scratch you're seeing, so don't send them back to us!"
I would like the NGC slab with a PCGS grade. It remains to be seen whether the NGC census is a realistic sampling or a cherrypicked one. If NGC keeps pumping out 69s, the PCGS grade will be much more respected.

If I ever end up with a set of these, at least 3 or 4 out of five would have to appear close to 69 or i would not consider grading them. Why spend $250+ for 66 and 67s? If your planning on flipping grades of 66 and 67 may bring less than a raw set on ebay.

It depends on how you sell them. I'm sure there are people who will collect different grades for a single coin. If they are all MS67,68,69... MS66 may be rare.
Comrades, I just got an email from FideliTrade that states "only an acknowledgement that your request has been received. This is NOT confirmation that your request has been accepted." "If your request is accepted, you will receive an Order Confirmation in the upcoming weeks..."

True, but we all know what those ER labels can be worth. Knowing that the NGC ERs will be much more limited than the First Strikes has given me pause to consider going with the ER. Hard call. The NCG sets will likely get substantially higher grades as well, with a seemingly reasonable chance of a 69 ER set. Of course, the PCGS grades may be more "respected" .........

Due to early technology problems with the slabs, etc., there is no way to know for sure whether Gyromac's set (or any one coin) actually got slabbed first though. But, I believe, at least Gyromac can pat himself on the back for getting the very first set in for grading at PCGS. Not to mention the set was graded MS64, MS65, MS66, MS67 and MS68 - a perfect "grading set" for these hockey pucks! Sorry Eric ... just looking for the "silver lining" on these grades. Perhaps a collector out there might like an example of every PCGS grade from MS64 through MS68

You are not pushing for a new "First Slabbed" label on the holders are you?
When were gyromac's coins delivered to pcgs?

<< <i>FWIW NGC has an early release cutoff date of Jan 21st in their hands which means more then PCGS First Strike which never expires. >>
But since they were all released at the same time, the only meaning to the NGC label is that they were submitted early. Woop De Doo. >>
True, but we all know what those ER labels can be worth. Knowing that the NGC ERs will be much more limited than the First Strikes has given me pause to consider going with the ER. Hard call. The NCG sets will likely get substantially higher grades as well, with a seemingly reasonable chance of a 69 ER set. Of course, the PCGS grades may be more "respected" .........
<< <i>If I ever end up with a set of these, at least 3 or 4 out of five would have to appear close to 69 or i would not consider grading them. Why spend $250+ for 66 and 67s? If your planning on flipping grades of 66 and 67 may bring less than a raw set on ebay. >>
You'd think, but look at the $800 that "BU" slabbed coins are bringing. They could be 64s!!
