<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 16073, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;ll agree with what has been said so far. But I would make one additional point that was touched on but not really explained. That&#039;s about picking through sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have always been something of a picky collector - just buying the set to say I have it was never quite good enough for me. I always wanted to find the nicest ones out there. So I might pull up a chair at a dealer&#039;s table and spend an hour or more going through his sets - depending on how many he had of course. But if I did - I would always buy at least one. And when it came to the cost - I wouldn&#039;t even bat an eye - I&#039;d just buy it. I didn&#039;t care if it was 10% - 20% or 30% over Ask. To me it has always been worth it to get the best I could find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now not everybody looks at their collection with that attitude. And if you don&#039;t - that&#039;s fine. But when it comes to Mint &amp; Proof sets - except for the older ones - there are still lots of them to be had. But truly nice ones are a bit more scarce. You have to remember these sets have for the most part been bought &amp; sold many times over the years. And many of the ones with gem coins in them have been broken up. So when you find a nice set - it may well be worth your while to spend that bit extra. You&#039;ll be glad you did some day down the road&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
