<p>[QUOTE="gmarguli, post: 448697, member: 246"]I remember a guy at the local shop telling me the same thing about 20 years ago. He thought I was crazy breaking up the silver proof sets from the 1960's and he was buying them to put away as he was sure original sets would bring a premium. Prices on them were about 2X what they are today. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It's highly doubtful that the original packaging will be worth a premium. The packaging sucks. The only reason it would bring a premium is so that people could cut up "fresh sets" looking for winners.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still buy these original sets and cut them up.

[QUOTE="gmarguli, post: 448697, member: 246"]I remember a guy at the local shop telling me the same thing about 20 years ago. He thought I was crazy breaking up the silver proof sets from the 1960's and he was buying them to put away as he was sure original sets would bring a premium. Prices on them were about 2X what they are today. :p It's highly doubtful that the original packaging will be worth a premium. The packaging sucks. The only reason it would bring a premium is so that people could cut up "fresh sets" looking for winners. I still buy these original sets and cut them up. My local dealer sells them to me by the box (maybe 200 sets at a time). It doesn't seem that the market is running out of them any time soon.[/QUOTE]
