<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2622461, member: 36230"]Ask yourself this.... if all one had to do was crack open such an extremely plentiful and inexpensive set in order to multiply their money, don't you think said sets wouldn't be so cheap and/or plentiful? I'm not saying this to sound mean, but because it's something you'd be wise to consider and understand. Unfortunately, many newer collectors/individuals do or think just as you have, and need to realize it's simply not so easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>As the others have said, submission fees alone would almost certainly destroy any chance of "maximizing" value, most likely leaving you well in the hole, and as raw standalone coins, no one is going to pay anywhere near the posted values, mostly for the above reason. The fact is that while there are many ways to profit in this hobby, very rarely do the easy or seemingly obvious paths get you there. There's a very good reason why those possessing above average knowledge usually do much better than those who don't.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
