Here's a Proof set most people have never even heard of -
I find it easier to imagine how much money you would throw away because you DID NOT buy the books. That $500 on books would save you thousands...
That makes two of us. We'll have 'em outnumbered and surrounded soon :D
Here's the thing as I see it - people don't really understand what condition rarity is until you point it out to them. Most of the time, when...
But it really didn't - in that first year. Yeah, there were more 69s than there were before, but when there weren't any before that's not hard to...
