<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1301809, member: 13650&quot;]I don&#039;t understand why everybody wants to see the value of this set doomed.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s like people can&#039;t stand the fact that some benefited from this release and they want to see it crash to teach everyone a lesson.&nbsp; Instead of just seeing it for what it is.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Everybody wants to say a 100,000 mintage is not rare.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, it depends on what the product is.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a 2008 $5 Bald eagle PF-70 commemorative that only had a 100k mintage.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s worth more than melt but does not have a huge numismatic premium.&nbsp; Despite the 70 grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; Certainly not as high as I believe it should be.&nbsp; But I can concede, it was 3 years ago and it&#039;s possible most people have forgotten about them.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, the going price is suppressed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;There are far more people interested in ASEs.&nbsp; A 25th anniversary ASE set will not be forgotten.&nbsp; Like I said, I only have a few and do not regularly collect them, but I knew this set looked great.&nbsp; Plus, being a 25th anniversary set, I had to have one.&nbsp; I love the reverse proofs.&nbsp; And yes, I already owned a 2006 RP, and still wanted multiple sets of these to KEEP.&nbsp;&nbsp; To top it off, my kid was born the day before they were released so I wanted them for my first child as well.&nbsp; &nbsp; There you go.&nbsp; Multiple reasons from a non-collector of ASEs on why these are getting a lot of attention and could stay hot.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are people saving far more sets than me for themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp; If 33,333 people in the entire world only do what I did, everybody else is screwed.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; But it would take less than that because there&#039;s got to be dealers out there hoarding, 50 to 100 sets or more.&nbsp; &nbsp; And who knows how many will be broken up by next year?&nbsp; &nbsp; The fact of the matter is that there will be far less than 100,000 sets even left in one piece 5 years from now, let alone available for sale. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There&#039;s probably a million people out there world wide, that would love to have this set.&nbsp;&nbsp; If 200,000 of them are willing to pay what it takes to get 1-3 sets to collect or as gifts for the kids this Christmas, and there&#039;s only 50k or less for sale, what happens?&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d guess less than half the mintage will be flipped when you factor in people keeping 2 or more sets for themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Lets just drop it and see what happens.&nbsp; Who cares?&nbsp;&nbsp; One side will be right.&nbsp; I think this all boils down to whiners who didn&#039;t get theirs that desperately want to see it crash so they can get one easier.&nbsp; Instead of just looking at the facts and being quiet.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s history to fall back on this time with a higher mintage, smaller, past anniversary set holding a large premium that seems to get interpreted however people want to see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; If I wouldn&#039;t have gotten through to the mint, I&#039;d take my chances on ebay right now, while there&#039;s 10 pages of them listed.&nbsp; This huge supply should be driving prices down as low as they can go.&nbsp; Or, I&#039;d try to get one from somebody here.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t risk waiting until there&#039;s only a handful of them for sale and you&#039;re at the few sellers&#039; mercy.&nbsp; &nbsp; If that&#039;s the plan, I wish you luck.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I dont&#039; see the popularity going down for these.&nbsp; Only the availability of in-tact sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
