This great Dennison set is one that doesn’t often surface. First available in 1926, the design elicits a smile. Although I’m so happy that this wonderful seller got this price, my concerns about high prices scaring off the lifeblood of any hobby, new collectors, remain unabated. (This complete Dennison boxed set has typically traded for half this level.) Whether my concerns are valid is unclear. Are most of these record prices driven by COVID relief or the influx of new collectors? I hope it is the latter! Anecdotal reports from several busy sellers indicate that many buyers are new to them. I watch pricing carefully, making me especially grateful I began collecting in earnest so long ago.
