Registry set fever does drive up the prices for some of the higher grade coins, but 32k seems a wee tad high in my opinion. Must be for a PCGS set.
Yes I know this, you know this, and anyone with any amount of coin sense knows this. What about the uninformed, starting out collector? Doubtful they know much about this and would be duped into paying the extravagant, overinflated prices for a MS-70 ASE.
