<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2186631, member: 17665"]"Throw the dog a bone" and they do from time to time. This was one of them. I honestly don't know how they can possibly make a profit of any sort with all of the expenses involved from start to finish. This reminds me of a POs (point of sale) gimmick, where there is no profit, just a way to lure people in to buy other items that do not sell so well (look at the back log of mint sets two years old) and then say "gotcha"! And I suspect that many of us, myself included, that wait until several items we do want are issued so we can save on shipping by making multiple purchases at the same time. At 17,000 mintage and over a million collectors (just a random number) it is impossible to satisfy very many collectors who need a complete set. Myself, I believe there should be a 50,000 total mintage and 1 per household. This is still fair, allows for more people to complete their sets and more people come out happy in the end.
