John, Clem said it him self. 500 sets at a minnium. That is pretty much one set for every serious collector at a very reasonable price. And if Walt is right then at least two sets for every serious collector. So why, why, why would you pay so much for the set. Like you said, ebay will have them for $15 each in no time. Just wait folks. You will be mad at the dealers if "YOU" pay the big bucks now and it will be your own fault for falling into the dealers greedy hype traps. Relax folks and enjoy the hobby and not the preasure brought on by dealers and I do not mean just Clem. I have gotten some good deals on his site as we all have. You just have to wait is all. His prices come down too. Just wait.
