<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RGJohn777, post: 1005609, member: 22102&quot;]I do the same thing for my nephews and have for many years.&nbsp; The &#039;catch-up&#039; part is pricey as you pointed out but it is a fun program to be on. It also helps to be sure everybody is treated the same. No favorites or I like yours better stuff. It also gives me satisfaction to bestow a gift that has actual value and is not a stewpit transitory fad which once passed retains absolutely none. One nephew needed a quick grand for unanticipated college expense and guess what? Easily gotten for a person with assets. Now he&#039;s repaying himself by re-acquiring what he then sold. Regular chip off the ever-lovin&#039; avuncular uncle.</p><p>&nbsp;I dunno about the lack of value opinion. There is truth to it in some cases, especially the clad sets. But they&#039;re junk after all aren&#039;t they? An early 60&#039;s set would command 10 or more times its inital cost. Maybe that&#039;s not quite equal to inflation but it did retain some value against the erosion of value by the Big &#039;I&#039;. And it ain&#039;t over yet. The earlier ones vary but the early 50&#039;s issues are not being given away. Then of course there is the 1936.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
