<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2821165, member: 66&quot;]It&#039;s not a matter of winning me over, you&#039;re preaching to the choir.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been doing it so long that to me it is self-evident.&nbsp; Buying the annual sets from the mint and expecting to recover your money or make a profit isn&#039;t going to happen (short of a lucky immediate flip).&nbsp; If you can accept that, or if you don&#039;t want to wait until they do fall in the aftermarket (which can sometimes take years) then buying from the Mint is fine.&nbsp; If you have the patience to wait, and don&#039;t mind taking you lumps on the occasional issue that turns out to be a winner (even if just for awhile) then you can buy on the secondary market.&nbsp; Either way buy because you enjoy what you are buying because you are a collector.&nbsp; Not to make a profit or even hold your value, because you won&#039;t.&nbsp; Not pointing fingers, not admonishing anyone, just stating facts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
