    Still waiting on my 10 to ship, wonder if that means I can count on mine going for $4300? I would gladly accept that.image
    Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

  • Back in October, sets were selling for $160 and people were saying it was insane. They are regularly getting $220 plus, more, sometimes much more for unopened sets now. I agree that I was skeptical of that particular auction, but at some point even that may seem like a bargain.

  • At $430 plus $72 for grading and 1st Strike per set, plus shipping, they had all better be at least 69's just to break even.

    I still think the 70's are going to low. PCGS's regular non first strike 70 reverse proof ASE are getting closer to NGC's now.

    Was this real???

    At $430/set there would have to be several 70's in the deal to make money. You can buy 69 sets graded for around $350/set.

    Figure $500/set cast with grading fees, that's $10,000. If you can sell 19 sets at $350, and get one RP 70, and it sells for $3350, then you've just broken even. Two 70's, then you make $3000 on a $10,000 investment.

    As we know, there are no guarantees.

    Seems like someone really rolled the dice here.

    What I see in this auction is an excellent presentation of a well-known product that attracted alot of postive attention for the price.
