<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3064625, member: 17665"]Most of us would rather build our sets from scratch, at least most of us oldsters. But I'm wondering if anyone as a collector, not dealer, has purchased complete sets at any time. Did you later upgrade to your desire or just leave as is. The main reason I ask is because I have of late, seen many modern sets being reduced in price, especially B.U. sets. A recent example is the Ike dollar set in choice to gem B.U. in a Dansco album for $179.00. A complete set of Roosevelt's 1946-64 in Fine or better in folder for $115.00. A complete set of SBA's in B.U. in a Dansco album minus 1981S type 2 for $165.00. And so on. Have you ever, would you ever or would you never buy sets like this and why? It would seem the easy way for newbies to get a leg up on some better deals and be able to focus more on the harder coins to acquire. Myself, I prefer building my own and have never purchased a complete set. Thanks for your input.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
