<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SanMiguel, post: 221461, member: 3379&quot;]To me, collecting by runs/plate combos/blocks is too much of a headache. I rarely ever go past a note&#039;s series and district, and I only look at the plate numbers to check for mules. And that&#039;s if I can remember to check.</p><p><br /></p><p>On another forum, somebody was asking for a 1st run 2004A San Francisco $10 star...meaning the note he wanted had a serial number under 130,000. I pointed one out on E-Bay, but he wanted one that was graded and so he it passed it up. I had the note &quot;watched&quot;, just to see what it would sell for. Here&#039;s the link: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/2004A-10-00-San-Francisco-STAR-KEY-1st-Run-GEM-CU_W0QQitemZ190105851660QQihZ009QQcategoryZ40029QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/2004A-10-00-San-Francisco-STAR-KEY-1st-Run-GEM-CU_W0QQitemZ190105851660QQihZ009QQcategoryZ40029QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">2004A $10 Star</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah, you could collect any note series in this manner. I can&#039;t imagine this working with the older/rarer notes though. The costs would be astronomical, and that&#039;s assuming that every possible combination printed still has a few examples surviving today. I think this is more of a &quot;recent-note&quot; collecting style, since those notes are easier to come by. It seems like such a painful &amp; excrutiating way to collect! :rolling: For each his own, I guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, I read somewhere that nobody, not one single person, has ever managed to complete the full set of the 240+ web press notes. The first person to ever complete one will probably be a celebrity of sorts, at least among the paper collecting circles. I personally only own just one web note, but I think I&#039;ll stop here. :smile </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images24.fotki.com/v800/photos/2/255739/4833008/BLWEB-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
