Well, we know when to hold em, just don't know when to fold 'em.

5 sealed sets

100,000 with 5/household was too small to get a good guestimate on the size of the market.
If 2012 has a 2 or 3 piece set 200,000 and 2/household and another 1 day sell-out....

Then we know the market has 100,000 min. unsatisfied demand for the 25th!

Tell us how many you have and if you have an exit plan?

5 sets sitting in a box packed up and ready to go to PCGS. Then I waited after seeing peoples grading results so for now they remain. My goal is simply to have 2 PCGS 70 sets... and to make money

No sealed sets for me. I received 4 sets and opened the box. Sold one on ebay, gonna keep one for my own enjoyment, two sets undecided.

I gave my married daughter an ebay pre-sale set for under $600. My five are pure long term investment financed by a 3 year old Buffalo. I'm sure the kid will allow me visitation rights.

"Exit Plan?" ...I didn't even have an "Entrance Plan". I was busy at the time and didn't even know about them until after they were sold out. I wish the Mint had sold them with a higher premium and didn't set a fixed mintage...like the 2009 UHR. That would have shown the REAL demand!! It would have kept the FLIPPERS away and given actual Collectors plenty of time to get all the sets they wanted.

Box of 5 here. EXACT same situation as JJK78, hesitated sending in when PCGS got tougher on grading.

Mr. Bill would say, Oh Nooooooooo!
I'm so sorry to hear that Yak, at least there is no one else to blame.

Imagine being Finkle, and blaming Dan Marino all his life for not having the "laces out" !

Can anyone guess the movie?

Same here. I would love to have a set for the collection but there is no way that I will pay the premium now. The collectors got hosed on this one.

Here we are waiting for the new 2012 set so this might be a good subject to revive. If we get another seller's market with this release, I will sell/trade my 5 -A25s @ $6500. I would like to get several rolls of ASEs, pre 1965 coins, a few more 1oz silver world coins, complete my Walkers and hand over $1500 to my wife for allowing me to play this game. I better add, Not in that order! I plan to buy 2 new sets and no sealed boxes.
I would like to hear comments from all who are holding sealed A25s. What is your exit plan, target price and what would you do with your windfall.
