Message:: [QUOTE="dready, post: 419055, member: 11674"]I think you should start with keys first. Get those 5 out of the way and the rest are smooth sailing. I've owned five 1916 D's. I now have 2. Both AG 3 ANACS. I had to sell my VF but that's another story. Once I completed my average circ. set I decided to do an AU/BU set.Once I got that as far as I could I went after FSB's.I'm 45/77 not counting overdates and varieties. I have a dealer that works with his cutomers. He'll do layawys. Ask your local dealer if he does this kind of deal. Once you make a down payment on a 16D or a 42/41 you'll be surprised how fast you'll find extra money to get that key paid for so you can have it in your hand. After that start picking 'em off 1 at a time. And as for slabbed or raw ? Learn the diagnotics of those keys and you'll know when it's authentic or not. Find a good dealer, there are alot of them that are honest and wouldn't sell a fake. Never buy a raw 16D on the Bay though, the majority of them are altered and easy to tell. Good Luck and keep us posted...
