[QUOTE="Nick57, post: 3657921, member: 97879"]Four months ago I was at the LCS searching for the accented hair variety, they had quite a few 64 proof sets, probably 20 or so. But only two were open. Looking in the first envelope, paydirt. Decent cameo too. Looking in the second envelope, another? What where the chances they were both fs-401? Another one... I was beyond happy to get a second set @ 20 dollars. That's all the 64 proof sets I bought that day, got some other stuff and ran out of cash. Since that day I've been wondering what the chances were of a dcam hiding in one of unopened remaining sets. Well yesterday I finally went back to find out. There were 18 sets. The envelopes were identical. They all were marked "5.75" in pencil in the upper left corner. The flaps were lightly bonded so I felt good about them being original. Time to go fishing or cut bait. Well the price went up a buck per set so I settled on half the group. I bought 9 sets and went to my car to open them. When I opened the first set, I didn't see accented hair... But the second set was. So was the third set. I stopped and re-checked the first set. It was fs-401 after all... Are you kidding me? Are these all accented hair? Yes they were. Needless to say I went back in and bought the other 9 sets for 21 dollars each... All 18 sets are accented hair. At least 4 sets are possible dcam. 2 more are borderline. I'm already a member with NGC. But PCGS is where these are going. Would it be better to grade them all at once? Or just a few at a time? Any advice is welcomed.[/QUOTE]
