Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>No real non-mainstream sets completed but I think the best "set" I have been luckey enough to put together is the e94 Overprint set.....(known types).....I am not sure it could be done again today. I might see about 1-2 a yr of these for sale and they are usually the Blomes, which are by far the most "common"....I also have the m101-4/5 back set complete (as far as I know)....with the 3 Gimbels variations, thanks to Jay M. for that...<br /><br />also, just the other day I noticed the Pennant Winners are in here twice, instead of my other one.....can anyone tell me what other one is missing? (trivia question)<br /><br /><img src="http://luckeycards.com/pe94overprintset2.jpg">

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>I have no problem with the condition. Does that mean they are sold? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />JimB

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Not quite.....the main thing is they aren't for sale <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>....If they were for sale I think it would be pretty hard to put a market value on them to price them....I know I paid record prices from Lew when I bought most of them....I will never forget it...He couldn't believe I wanted to make a straight, first bid, of over 1k each, for 8 he had in his collection (and all are pictured in his encyclopedia)....the first day of the auction. I did and they held (fortunately).....I think this was the only time that strategy has worked for me. Talk to ya soon....

Posted By: <b>Jim Clarke</b><p>I think it worked on the Red Cross back Weaver you have as well if memory serves me correctly <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>You are mistaking....that was the one where I cost myself about a grand as I bumped myself, accidentally.....my n172 Wright in a 6 holder and N690 Boston are in a good home now....those were the days.....we actually used to have fun....
