<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 989587, member: 26972&quot;]Tough call.&nbsp; It&#039;s really up to you.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are thinking of collecting proofs, then buying the sets is buy far the most economical way to go.&nbsp; I think your first concern regarding proof collecting is making sure that you know and have planned on how you are going to handle and store them individually.&nbsp;&nbsp; Since you are starting out -&nbsp; My advice would be to think&nbsp; about it some more - take your time and make plans and set a goals for your collection and what you like to collect.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For what it is worth.&nbsp; I set out to collect all the proof sets made and complete them as far back as I can go.&nbsp; 1940 is where that ended.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am now periodically searching for PCGS Proof Lincolns.&nbsp; I have a long way to go, I only have 20 or so.&nbsp; The proof collection I am most excited about is the Raw Lincoln proofs I have all the way back to 1950 that I am going to display in those INtercept round containers drilled in to a peice of cherry and make large plaque displaying them all in my office.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, hopefully that gives you some ideas.&nbsp; Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
