<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1373433, member: 19423&quot;]By the way, a few posts ago a comparison was made to the price history of the 20th anniversary set and it said the set goes for $325 or so... that is no longer the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past few months, the prices of these sets have jumped significantly, likely due to the popularity of the 25th anniversary set as people now go back and try to get the 20th anniversary set they may have missed.&nbsp; The price of the set in the Greysheet is now over $400 for that set and dealers at shows are asking around $450 for these sets, raw!!&nbsp; That&#039;s quite a jump in just the past few months, considering there was relatively little price movement in the past couple of years on the set.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For the 25th anniversary set, it&#039;s hard to believe folks are paying $900 or so for a sealed up set when the value of an already graded 70 set isn&#039;t that much more... especially once you factor in the grading fees and odds that you won&#039;t get a 70 grade anyways.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had a couple of NGC 70 sets available for $1200 each and no one has bitten yet... but they keep buying up the sealed up sets for roughly $900 each.&nbsp; Figure that it costs at least $100 to get a set graded and there&#039;s maybe a 50/50 shot you&#039;ll get a 70 back on each coin and I just don&#039;t get why these sealed boxes are so hot.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I can think of is that it&#039;s the big telemarketers buying the sealed up sets so they can get them off to ANACS who will just slap 70 labels on them for a price.&nbsp; Then they can put the &quot;perfect&quot; sets on TV at such a large price it dwarfs the seemingly high prices paid for the sealed boxes.&nbsp; Or maybe some people are just speculating that prices will keep going up and they&#039;re buying stock now... but it would seem to make more sense to load up on sets already graded perfect if that were the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
