<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 151955, member: 112&quot;]I would not buy it without opening it first. Those older sets are no different than the other advertised &quot;un-opened&quot; newer sets on ebay. Just like it&#039;s a simple matter to manufacture and print your own envelopes for the sets, it&#039;s even an easier matter to buy new paper tape to place around the box the older sets were packaged in - there&#039;s not even any printing to do. All that is required to open those older sets is to cut the tape at the seam with a razor blade or knife. And even once cut it can be replaced at will.</p><p><br /></p><p>As one who collected these sets for years I can tell you that most of them have been opened. Quite often even the cellophane flips inside the boxes have been replaced with newer plastic flips. Anyone who buys older original Proof sets is well advised to know their stuff about the sets or else not buy them at all. It&#039;s quite easy to take a substantial loss with these sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
