<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2526098, member: 19250&quot;]I find this sort of ironic&nbsp; sort of as the mint in the mid 1960&#039;s were doing&nbsp; everything&nbsp; possible&nbsp; to&nbsp; curtail coin collecting . My how things change ...... one item you may tell them in a panel&nbsp; is to limit new items to one per customer&nbsp; until 45 days after first day issue. As well as mint to demand,not a set limit!</p><p>Yeah I know ducking the tomatoes&nbsp; now....but to keep the hobby&nbsp; going the YN&#039;S should be able to obtain a new release&nbsp; without paying&nbsp; through&nbsp; the nose on a secondary&nbsp; market.</p><p>For an item that the value falls to a more realistic&nbsp; value in 6 months&nbsp; or less.</p><p>That said newbies&nbsp; to the hobby become&nbsp; frustrated&nbsp; over loosing&nbsp; value on a purchase&nbsp; that was hyper inflated .</p><p>One must realize&nbsp; there was a time you could buy a Whitman&nbsp; penny album&nbsp; and&nbsp; dang near fill it from circulated&nbsp; coins. Since those days are long gone....the NY or newbie are at the mercy&nbsp; of the sharks in the water and the smell of&nbsp; fresh blood.</p><p>This reminds me of my concert going days, at one time you could get a ticket to&nbsp; any show or artist no problem. Then all of a sudden&nbsp; tickets were sold out in minutes . Only to be made available&nbsp; at a nice inflated price.</p><p>It just took the fun out of something&nbsp; one was looking forward to.&nbsp; Yes I understand&nbsp; free enterprise ......as well as scalping ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
