I love it when E-Bay sellers go the extra mile!

Always looking for nice proof sets I see this in an auction. The auction says that the quanity is 2.

So (following in Russ's footsteps), I ask the usual questions, Is this one of the sets I would receive? and cam I get better pics.

These came via E-Mail (linked due to the size!)

Front
Back

Needless to say, I popped the $12.95 bin on both!!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Most proof sets from the late 60s and early 70s have haze. You just have to look past it.
