<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1333771, member: 5233"]So, even though I'm somewhat of an adult and living on my own...my parents still ask me around Christmas time if there is anything coin related that I want for Christmas. Normally, it's something small but this year there was a very special item I was dying for. So, a few months ago I explained to my parents that the 25th Anniversary set for the ASE was being released. My parents have always spent way too much money on their children at Christmas...and this year were planning on a reduced budget. I told them the set was $300 and if that was too much money to not worry about it (since they never say what the budget is...just that they want to spend less). They said they would think about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was extremely clear that this set was very limited and would sell out within a matter of hours following its release. As wonderful as my family is, they have never been good at sticking to schedules...and things tend to get put off. So, I feared that if they decided to buy me the set that they might wait too long and not be able to get one. To make matters worse, the release date was 10/27/2011 which is my younger brother's birthday. So, I figured getting this set for Christmas was a very long shot. But, since I couldn't afford it...the best I could do was hope that they would be willing and able to get me one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, on Christmas...I opened a heavy rectangular package and found this:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/2011ASE25thAnniversarySet.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
