2007 American Legacy Sets heading north
It seems that recently these have turned up a bit in price.
If you recall, the original issue price was $135 last year.
I bought two and have been tracking them ever since.
It's a nice set, but it's so big, I'm never going to display
it, etc. Plus, it's just different packaging for other coins
I already own.
Anyway, tracking them on eBay, some of them were going
for only around $150ish not that long ago. Not even worth
listing it IMO. You'd end up taking a loss with the fees.
Well, I noticed last week that some have been hitting $200
or better, so I decided to list one. I don't want this to be
considered spam, so I won't list the ID or my username.
But, with 8 hours to go it's bid up to about $215 already.
Were people waiting for these to be included in the Mint's
fire sale or something and found themselves disappointed?
Or has the introduction of the 2008 sets reignited a new
collector base for the previous issues?

I've never really thought that there is much of a collector base for these... Perhaps they are beginning to catch on?

I believe the final sales total for the 2007 was less than 10,000

USPS does make a Priority box that is 15"x12"x3", and if you don't want to ship Priority, just cut it down one of the long sides and turn it inside out.
