[QUOTE="hof1998, post: 1315151, member: 24640"]I was hoping some of the more experienced people could help me here... I am (fingers crossed) scheduled to receive my box of five sets from the Mint tomorrow. I had just accepted the fact that I missed the cutoff and am now jumping for joy (literally!) at the idea of getting these. So, I had some questions. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it. 1) Do you think slabbing them is worth it at this point with the low dollars I am seeing on the 69 sets? 2) Is it possible to send them insured and via USPS overnight mail? I don't think registered will make it out there in time. 3) Do I have to resend the original unopened box to NGC or can I open the main box from the Mint up to send the sets to NCG/PCGS? 4) Is the "First Strike" designation proven to be worth the extra money on previous (non-25th anniversary) sets? Sorry for all the questions. I am really debating what the best option is. I heard back from a fellow collector on here who simply opened them up and got about $900 per set by selling them individually on Ebay. I know this is all profit at this point and I am glad I never agreed to CoinMart's offer of $80 extra per set!!! Thanks for any advice you can offer![/QUOTE]
