<p>[QUOTE="TopcatCoin, post: 1426166, member: 22746"]I am not a flipper, but if I was one, I would be really unhappy with how the Mint is handling this years ASE set. No frenzy leading up to or on the release date, no need for ebay presales, no need for unopened boxes, no race to the TPGs, no panic over a sell-out in a few days, no mint online ordering system crash (ok, that will probably happen anyway). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> A coin does not have to have a very limited mintage to appeal to a collector. It is demand that really drives value anyway. I do not care how many dealers, Mike Mezak, Apmex, MCM, etc. buy this time. As a collector, I will certainly be able to get my set with no worries about a sell out. As I said earlier, I do not believe that there are millions of hardcore ASE collectors out there. I am guessing that about 200-250K will sell in the one month time window, with about $100-125K going into collections and not for immediate resale. The others will be bought by those looking to make a profit. I hope they can make a profit, but they will not be making it off me! :smile By the way, look for the TPGs to make extra special labels for this set as well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
