Message:: [QUOTE="nojreyd, post: 1174519, member: 30385"]Ok, so maybe you are a Detoit Lions QB.  They are small potatoes compared to Tom Brady I guess. I have heard about some of these "super collections".  PCGS lists a complete date/mint set of 09-59 in MS65 at a value of $34,000.  I believe there a few sets that are mostly 66's, and maybe 1-2 sets that have a high number of 67's.   I can imagine they are exponentially more valuable...and probably something you would never dream of getting your money back out.   So you are saying if I get a 1909-S VBD in change at the gas station and it looks MS67 I will have no trouble selling it?  If more exist, I wonder where they are.  I am going to have to start hitting up more estate sales out in the country I guess. I am on the other end of the spectrum.  I probably only have $500-$700 invested into my lincoln collection so far.  I hunt for deals and pick up coins at the very low end of their price spectrum only.  In my new endeavor (my RB AU collection), I am hoping to spend less than $20 per coin on almost every coin 1920-1933 (obviously some will be more).  That grade you can often times find people selling something that they don't really know what it is and not many people are looking for it.   Its hard to hide a MS66+ coin.[/QUOTE]
