O.K. maybe it isn't all that brilliant but it works for me. I need two more Lincoln Chronicles sets for Christmas gifts but I don't want to pay the inflated prices that they are fetching currently on ebay. What to do....?

Here is what I came up with.

When the original proofs of the Lincoln silver commemoratives came out, I bought 5 of them. I only needed three and planned to sell the other two. I kept asking people what the difference between these proofs and the proofs in the chronicles set were and it seemed the only real difference was the packaging. Eventually, the people that have their sets slabbed sell off the packaging for next to nothing because most people see it as having little value. If I buy the empty sets and put my own Lincoln proofs in and my own 95% copper cents in ( I have pleant of those) who could tell the difference?
There is none! I save money by not paying inflated prices and I get exactly what I need.

If the packaging includes the certificate, the plastic holders, and the box, what do you see as the only flaw in my idea? If one exists.
