<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 2389996, member: 37498&quot;]A couple of points about these remarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The study you quoted simply compared ask prices from 1981 and 2001.&nbsp; It did not compare face value prices for the purchase price and then ebay or other venue prices for the sell prices as sets.&nbsp; In other words, in the study, there was no &quot;advantage&quot; afforded in the acquisition, nor any value added for assembling sets.&nbsp; It was just a comparison of values of the same items over time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s a fairly safe assumption that they will be able to sell their coins for more than face value when they&#039;re assembled as sets.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen such many such sets fetch a fair premium.&nbsp; The only two uncertainties in my book are: Will it be worth their time?&nbsp; Will it outperform the S&amp;P 500?&nbsp; ...and that second question assumes they would have actually invested the money in stocks instead of spending it, or keeping it in a savings account at 0.05% interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>...and sometimes, it&#039;s just something people have to do for themselves for the experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
