looking at those sales figures i think they would do better if they dropped the prices instead of an increase,they might sell thirty percent by the end of the year.

I’m sure they will extend the sale period into next year because of Covid19 – or if they overminted them we will see a Bball Coin Hoard released in 3 or 4 years.
Personally, I’m done with commems and am ending my set with the 2019’s – I’m free at last, free at last!!!

i haven’t bought any thing from the mint in 2 years and don’t ever expect to after the mess last NOVEMBER.I think it’s kinda sad to see just what they’ll do next to kill the hobby.just when you think they can’t do anything worse they do!

As is the TREND I passed on these & have only bough one ITEM from the mint over the last 2 years, and returned every one for defects the NA Coin & Curency set last year what a joke.

Unless gold hits $2,500 & Ag $75 you will never ever recover your money, if you like it buy it, the obverse is just so busy, couldnt they add a transexual player as well….

The quality concerns that the U.S. Mint seems to have ignored in the past has compelled me to disregard any current product offerings that they have released thus far. Are you listening USMint???
