<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 1945767, member: 23692"]The crap that the RCM puts out is affectionately (or nonaffectionately) known as granny bait or grandma bait. Almost all of the 'special issues" and special series can be bought on the secondary market 2-3 years down the line for 60-70% of issue price. The initial buyers are not collectors ... they are someone who walks into the post Office or orders from the RCM for "little Mikey for Xmas". They make a few good ones, but the RCM is the Cook Islands of the North. Most of their items have very good artwork, but are overpriced and under-thought out as to theme choices and applicability. Almost across the board, they are the laughing stock of most collectors .. but, if you pick them up at 50-60% of issue, there are some very nice things. Anyone want a Johnny Appleseed dollar?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
