[QUOTE="clembo, post: 440772, member: 8033"]I doubt the value will tank. It may go down but in the long run I believe it will be a strong set. Why the high price? I figure a few factors. A lot of sets WERE broken up by larger dealers to slab the quarters and get ridiculous prices which the ebay public provided with gusto. There were also problems with the mint that year. Dealers weren't allowed to buy any more than the average collector for a while. Not too good for dealers that do that for a living. Soooo dealers started paying a premium to get them in inventory. I had friends selling theirs at $100 back then and loving it. I held mine. I didn't have a lot of money to buy but I do still have my three sets. Don't let the possibility of tanking bother you too much. The 01 and 02 sets did pretty well so I dumped my money into 20 03 sets. THAT set tanked big time! :( You just never know and I haven't bought a mint product since 2006. Back to strictly the old stuff for me.[/QUOTE]
