<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2115850, member: 71723"]I recall when I completed my Ike set (for its time - nobody had heard of Type 3 reverses then). Some "serious collectors" literally laughed at me. All I had done was put together the absolute nicest of each one I could find, based 100% on eye appeal and nothing else. None of the "brownies" has so much as a hint of haze. I still have it. None are slabbed. All are in Eagle brand dark grey hard plastic 2x2's with the Mylar windows and the whole set is in an Eagle 36 box. I last dug it out maybe four years ago. I wonder if the set is still as hilarious as it once was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
