<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1979588, member: 36248&quot;]There are some series when you can hold out for a really great price, and still get a great coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; I did that with 90% of the complete Kennedy Proof Set in mostly DCAM69.&nbsp; But these are widely availble coins, sometimes with hundreds of auctions for the same coin / same grade / same holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also did that with the first portion of my CAC Type Set, meaning, I bought all the long-hanging fruit first, in terms of availability, and bang-for-the-buck.&nbsp; &nbsp; These nice, but common coins could be had at &quot;wholesale&quot; if you were someone patient.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=37868]@RabidRick[/USER] Now, with the harder coins, coins that there may be only 1 or 2 examples on eBay and online dealers at a given time, or worse, coins you need to wait months before another example shows up, you are very unlikely to get for your so-called &quot;wholesale&quot; prices.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like [USER=70936]@mainer020648[/USER] said, you will either be skunked for a very long time, or end up with <i>Meh</i> coins that are boring and below-average for the Type.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Don&#039;t you think all the nice coins get gobbled up by other collectors willing to pay more than your rock-bottom &quot;wholesale&quot; prices, leaving you with the dreck?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
