Thoughts on "W" Series Sets

I am a huge fan of these sets. The only one I collect is the 1921 w551 issue. I have been buying/collecting/selling them since 1989 and I have seen so many variations of them. I got into them after I bought a uncut set from Alan ( Mint ) at a National in the late 80s. I have built up quite the collection of them. I really like the uncut sheets of them and panels. The one thing that is really wild is the prices that people try to sell them for. I have seen the Ruth's sell from anywhere from $100.00 to $2,800 depending on the grade. The uncut strips really range as well... The right amount for an uncut strip is I think around $1,000 give or take some... But you will see outrageous prices for them depending on the person and what they think they can get. Sorry for rambling on, I just really like this issue.
