<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1754711, member: 28971"]That is WAAAY cool! When I had my Jeff Registry set, it was as FS as possible, and was FS from '65 up (till the 'Westward Ho' designs, that's when I called it quits), I didn't think it was complete until I had one of the 1,938 silver FSNC Proof and Matte sets. SEGS encapsulated them, and I ordered 2 sets from 'The Portico' (is that still in print?), for a fraction of what they bring now. Boy, I was wrong....it wouldn't have been complete without this piece. This piece is just UBER coooooool, LostDutchman! I do think a 'you suck' is in order. To have that just walk into your shop, with ALL that documentation, I'd have preferred that single item than the whole set, even though, when my dad and I got into the Jeffs (I was young, and that was my first real series I got into), they WERE 'cheap', especially by today's standards/prices/pops (which were low, the best '73-S I could find was 63FS, and there were about a dozen higher...there's STILL only 45 graded higher now, still with just 3 in 63FS, same pop as when I picked it up). When I sold the set off (man, it was 9 years ago when I broke it up, boy, time flies), they WEREN'T cheap...I made a niiiice profit from them (wish I had the set now, boy, as the '76 and '76-D I had in 66FS, neither of which had any graded higher, even today it's the top pop, would be so sought after...). CONGRATS! </p><p> </p><p>That IS a verrry nice piece, and I agree with your thought on putting it on the wall. Get it framed nicely in a 'box' frame (won't be cheap, but that piece is well worth the $400-or more- to frame properly), that will look , as we say in Boston, 'wicked pissa!'[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
