Question
I recently purchased this set for $ 9000 in 70 grade by ICG claiming first day of issue # 25 of 149. I then saw the same set on TV for $11,000 not first issue but graded by NGC. does the NGC set warrant a $2000 premium?

Answer
HI Fred,
First off, buying from TV is not the most cost effective way to collect coins.  NGC coins are worth more, but ICG coins are not worth the price you paid, far from it.
Do a little more research before you part with your hard earned money.  There are beeter coins for the money.
