<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 26893, member: 112&quot;]It is not uncommon for collectors to buy multiples of Proof sets and then not open them. These sets may sit in storage for years and never be opened. This happens - I know quite a few collectors who do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>However - I believe that the vast majority of the so called unopened Proof sets on ebay are not truly unopened sets. It is all to easy to make your own new envelopes, place a low quality Proof set inside &amp; seal it, and then sell it on ebay - hopefully at a premium because it is &quot; unopened &quot;. Trust me - most of them have been opened.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the drawbacks for ebay - for only ebay would somebody pay more for an unopened set. Myself - I&#039;d never buy one. I&#039;d never leave one unopened - I want to SEE what I bought. If you ever try to sell these sets to a dealer - the first thing they will do is open them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
