Title: Good Investment?
Post by: hanmer on July 24, 2008, 08:28:49 pm
Would a reasonable rate of return be made from grabbing these for $9700.00 in 5 to 7 years?

Hi Hamner.

I am the seller of these notes and I have ended the auction early for the reason here:
"The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing."

Is this a good price?Well that's a matter of opinion,of course.I have a belief these will PMG 66 but there are no guarentees.

If you noticed,I put a Best Offer in the listing to attract what the investment/collecting community felt value comes in at.

If you wish to discuss this further please feel free to e-mail me at twoinvallarta@gmail.com

According to the Charlton catalogue a Gem Unc has to be perfectly centered, or virtually so, whereas the notes in the scan seem to have rather narrow and uneven margins (maybe it was a problem with the scanner?). I mention this because I offered several slightly off-centre Devil's Face notes at the CNA Convention and my knuckles were rapped because I called them Gem Uncs instead of Choice Uncs.

Are these the notes that were at the CNA?

Yes.Why?
I'd think you'd know that because it is hard to believe that was just a lucky guess! ;D
So what's the point?

No I just thought that I had seen those notes some were before.

That would be great! It will probably come to you.I remember when my sons were 14-15 yrs old.If it had to do with money,minds like steel traps!
Because this is such a rare set(low number) not too many places you would have to narrow down I would imagine.It would stick out in ones mind that's for sure.And since you have been collecting such a short time I trust the few places this set could have resided,it is only a matter of  days! lol  ;)
Good Luck to us both! ;D
