Ok, so I was surfing around ebay when I found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lincoln-Pen...731204674877

As far as I know, $15 is the cost of the album! Tell me what you think.

The folders cost $3 and the pennies can mostly be taken from circulation.

If you want it, go for it, but it isn't a good deal.

Looks legit. That is a folder, not an album. It would cost you less than five dollars.

I would NOT say "easily" as wheaties are nowhere near as easy to find any longer. Its not a bad deal if you want a collection but dont want to find them yourself.

Ok maybe I was a bit gullible but I have bought from this guy. Actually one purchase was this set.

For me being in Australia, noodling for the set was out and if I paid a premium then I'm still happy with the sale.

What I can say is I had absolutely no problems with Roy regarding the sale. He was more than happy to help.

Cheers
Peter

For not much more you could buy those all in mint state. At this price level another better deal would be a complele memorial set in red.

Ok so I'm an idiot...
You should be able to hear the slap of palm on forehead soon.
Still you have to understand that the hard part for me at least is finding sellers who are willing to ship to Australia.

Still I regret nothing I'm still happy with the purchase.

Considering where you are, you probably got a decent deal on them.
