I am not big into slabbing as I like to assemble my collection in albums but I do own a few slabs nonetheless.

"Unless someone is going to have the RP graded, the likelihood of them keeping the set complete is very high."
Absolutely. Most folks that I know are sending in the RP and the 06w for grading. They buy raw sets and submit those 2 coins. It's a roll of the dice but sometimes you come up a winner. You hardly ever see raw RPs for sale as single coins ..what's the use really ..in that case just sell the entire 3 coin set. I did see and ad in CW or NN of a guy selling raw RPs for $499.00. I wonder if he has had any takers?
I also agree that folks are crazy to pay more for the same coin because of the packaging but fools and their money are soon parted...thank goodness. Let them enjoy the hype. In the meantime, momma needs a new pair of shoes !!!!
Question about your albums: DO you keep gold in albums? Does it have any effect? I'm working on a set of $20 libs from San Fran and I would love the look of them in a custom album but I was hesitant.

Of course, I think I would gladly pay $300 for one now but that is a pipe dream
