Looks like alot of people have had them graded. I have 2 NGC 69 sets. One NGC 70 set. One raw and two sealed in one box. Plan on keeping the 70 set and the raw set for myself. Will sell rest when I feel I need the money.
I have one raw that I will not sell. Sold 9 sets graded PCGS 69 and 70, some first strike. Going to use the money for Jefferson (Proof and Unc.) and Platinum Anniversary Set
1 PCGS 69/69/69 set, 5 PCGS 69 "w" eagles, and 35 uncertified "w" eagles in their mint boxes. Should have bought more when I had the chance. The sets are doing amazing.

You actually would be a more of a fool to open the box and then atempt to reseal and submit them as a sealed box. Not to mention posting about it on the PCGS coin forum. Pulling crap like that can ruin the game for everybody. Enough people submit retaped boxes and PCGS could pull the plug on the whole sealed box submisson game. jmho

I have no desire to grade them. I'm a fool for opening the box, and inspecting the merchandise?
So, what do you call someone who submits, and half are milked to death. I have seen some really ugly ASE's out of these sets.

I HAD 42, but sold most of them WAY too soon. Now I have 14 raw sets. The best of my bunch. 2 NGC 69 black label sets, and 2 extra NGC 69 Reverse Proofs.
I didn't have any idea. I bought six sets on a friends advise. He demanded( and with welcome) one set and got it right away at cost. We were way late on thfirst issue and opening them and all that. We're rank ametuers (sp). I plan on selling 2-3 sets, sorry wrong board.

Prices are definately not stagnating....

30 graded sets. Sold 6 PCGS 69 sets for a total of $3200. Gifted one to my brother and one to my mother. 22 graded sets left. 2 complete NGC 70 sets, 2 additional NGC 70 Reverse Proofs. and two complete PCGS 70,70, 69's sets. I am done selling and holding for a very long time. I knew these sets were a good investment and would only increase in value but I had no idea they would take off to such price levels within a 6 month time frame. Nothing I know of from the U.S. Mint in ultra moderns can even compare including the Jackie Robinson.
Had 10 sets, sold 1.33 sets so far. Will keep selling until I have one or two raw sets and one or two first-strike sets left. Am so glad I read the writing on the boards, and bought six more from the mint after first only ordering four!
15 sets - raw. None in original sealed shipping boxes, but I have only inspected 3 of the 15 sets (others have never been opened).

Not too sad really, I bought a motorcycle and although the coins are beautiful, I think I'll enjoy the bike more.
I also have a PCGS 69/70/70 set for my "permanent" collection.

Ouch - I wonder how many people opened them without realizing that they wont all be given the 20th anniversary label?

Whats not cool? You would be a fool not to open the box, and take a peak.
With all the milk spotting, it would be uncool to have your ASE's BB'd for spots.
Just my humble opinion.
<< <i>How will a TPG know I opened it? It's clear shipping tape, a little heat from a hair dryer, and some tape = unopened box. >>
Uh, dunno, perhaps the vacuum sealed bags might be a give away...maybe

I will sell in a little bit, trying to find the best way to avoid fees- (paypal/e-bay)- first 8 went for $160-220,
But as they say, no one ever went broke taking a profit.

I have entertained the thought, but realize they will most likely come back from PCGS as 69's.
NGC on the other hand, gives out 70's like candy.
