<p>[QUOTE="Lather, post: 745234, member: 20404"]Sorry if this is a dumb question. I see these "Unopened Proof Sets" on EBAY from '50's & 60's and since I couldn't collect before my birth I wanted to know if there was such a thing, As far as the Boxes I have from the mint.. I have NEVER had a SEALED (Glued Envelope) Mint/Proof Set... Did They SEAL them back in the 50's? I don't think so and don't believe that nobody has looked inside an envelope that may have a errors etc... But since I wasn't there..??</p><p>And if the mint didn't seal them how can Ebay let that scam go on..</p><p>I have seen Auctions where they say "Sealed from the Mint"</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please note that you can get great deals on these type items on ebay if you have the time... But I would never think the set being sold has not been cherry picked....</p><p>I got a pile of Mint Sets to fill some holes 80's - 90's for Face Value Plus Shipping the other day..!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
