<p>[QUOTE="JJK78, post: 1472286, member: 19207"]I did this sort of math with the 25th Anniv. set and I believe this set could benefit from the same sort of post-availability boost. There are a lot of factors that will go into play here too. Mintage is the biggest factor, I do believe there will be a rush in the last few days, but the magic number to break is 250,000. If it does that plus or minus 5K it is going to be a winner for sure... this set will be selling for $200+ in no time, that will be for 69's/opened sets. Sets of 70's will sell for $300+</p><p><br /></p><p>Another factor I think is the shipping after the ordering period has stopped, you will likely have to be happy with what you get, or if you return and want a replacement you will likely get someone elses return or be SOL. That being said the condition of these coins and how they grade will weigh heavily on aftermarket prices/sales. If perfect 70's are hard to come by (not likely, but it could happen) it could drive the prices even higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>The unfortunate reality of the coin collecting world is that we (myself included <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) love gimmicks and are often taken in by them and everything that surrounds them, grading etc. The dealers will tout the low mintages and the "don't miss out like the 25th anniv. set which now sells for bla bla bla". </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yes, if they make it, we will buy it...
