[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2522776, member: 73165"]The thing is that OGP for a mint set is usually just some cellophane and a paper envelope. I don't really see the envelope as all that special, and the cellophane will eventually become brittle and degrade.

If it's something like this: [ATTACH=full]538123[/ATTACH] then I definitely want it. :) It all just depends.[/QUOTE]
