[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2964685, member: 77814"]There's no difference between those two ASEs. The Congratulation Sets are one of those "feeding frenzy" things that defie logic; all based on the packaging. Yes, Really. Although originally there was a very limited supply only in the Congrats Set, but due to be released later in the LEPS - Limited Edition Proof Set. I collected all the past Congratulation Sets, originally to give to friends (kids friends, soccer players, etc) graduating High School. But I never gave any out. But last fall there was a "feeding frenzy" on 2017s which had a special ASE, which was available later in other packaging. But since it was only available "then" people bought it up. Then the prices crashed when there was a large return/cancellation to the Mint. I know because I tried buying some and they sold out in seconds. About a month later I bought from the cancelled order. The secondary market crashed after that cancelled order. That feeding frenzy also then spread to the 2016s Congratulation Sets and previous years. The 2016s in the cardboard packaging went up to 35x it's release price all due to the packaging. Ironically, the coin was available separately. The 2015 shot up (max around $1500), 2014 (max around $1400) and 2013s (max $300) also went up. The prices have been floating downwards since. I also own the Limited Edition Proof Sets. I guess the packaging for those mean nothing for a feeding frenzy.[/QUOTE]
