Now, my dilemma with the ASE 3pc sets start...

BochimanBochiman Posts: 25,790 ✭✭✭✭✭
Ordered 10 sets.
2 groups of 5 each.

First batch has arrived.

I will sell off some of the 10 sets but not sure if I will sell 2-3, 3-5, 5-7 or what.

So, if I keep the box sealed, I have to get all 5 sets graded (15 coins). That's a nice chunk of change. If I don't, the resale value may not be as high (why do the lemmings WANT "1st strike" and "20th anniversary" on the slabs anyway??).

I really want to open it up because, from the pics people have posted, the reverse proof looks damn nice! But........if I open them, the sets can't get slabbed as "1st strike 20th anniversary money grabbers".....

Oh, the dilemma.............

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Ship a box off to get graded...sell em all.

    Keep 1 for sale in mint packaging...roll in the other 4 or give em' to kids or such.

    Thats what Id do. Youll make a nice profit and will practially have the 4 remaining free (if prices follow AGE trends..which I believe they will)

    Make sure when you sell them you refer to your buyers as lemmings. --Jerry

    Ron, do what I have, open and enjoy and to hell with grading. Once they are are sold out and the fast buck artists have liquidated the price will sky rocket.

    Will do image
    Btw...how many graded, labeled sets did YOU want? image



    GAT - yeah....tempted to do that. Mom ordered 1 herself even though I told her one of these would be hers....I had thought that one set of 5 would be for me and family members. Most bought their own though.
    Hmmm hmmmm hmmmm image

    I'm a seller too. Mine are allready sold but I'm sure buyers would prefer to buy from a standup guy like you anyway.

    Dude, I hope you made enough from selling the sets to buy a sense of humor image

    These don't need to be graded; they are all MS or PF 69; as there is no such grade as perfect. Keep one box of 5 unopened and open the other box of 5. If you plan on just keeping these for an investment, don't open either box of 5.

    Would PCGS [upon request] dip these like some forum members do to stabilize the surfaces and prevent the milk spotting which has plagued some of the slabbed ASE's? If not I probly wouldn't spend the $$$.
