Re: What drives the unopened market?
I figured that I would finally weigh in on this topic since I have been collecting unopened material since the mid to late 80s. And I think a little history--at least from my perspective--is helpful to the OP's questions. When I started to collect in the 80s it was because I was drawn to the allure of unopened packs with… -

For the EACers— how practical are the various EAC “surveys” to the common collector?
I consider myself to be a common collector of early copper, and not one of the “big guys” in the EAC world. I read the latest issue of EAC’s Region 8 newsletter, and there was an interesting question and comment, which I will copy below: “Question: You always mention "The Sheldon Series","1/200 Survey", "The List", "The… -
