<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2591204, member: 76863&quot;]I see it the other way.&nbsp; I see for most issues that sales are over-inflated from the flippers and big sellers buying up large quantities.&nbsp; You may be right that may have been their thinking, but as we can see with the SLQ and WLH still being available that demand is really only there if sellers are actively making a secondary market with them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There certainly have been a few issues here and there that probably would have sold out with single issue purchases but with the overwhelming majority of items being readily available everywhere on the secondary market to me it shows that flippers are driving a large part of their sales numbers.&nbsp; The other thing would be that the slabbed collectors and collectors building 70 sets wont really ever be a mint customer either way, its much easier for them to let someone else get the grading done.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I can understand not doing a mintage of 1k and leaving a bunch of money on the table for a strong secondary market, but if they destroy the secondary market entirely their sales will start to take a big hit.&nbsp; Even from a collector standpoint if you know basically everything will be cheaper on the secondary market since the mint destroyed it and can actually pick the one you want then why wouldn&#039;t you just wait for that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
