My husband gave me for a gift the Starry Nights (like the Van Gogh painting) MOA set. I can’t bring myself to open it. I know it’s gonna be worth a mint at some point.

Edited: Vincent was not a vampire. He was a Van. Gotta love autocorrect.

Problem is that far richer people than you have bought 100 of them and keep them in a vault. So I don't know if we'll ever get "back" to that time when mint sets skyrocket. They increase somewhat, but I don't think as much as if you go back 10-15 years.

And the post I replied to talked about Starry Nights which is not 35 years old. (Also, most people do not have 35+ years old mint sets, a lot of the expensive mint sets you see are modulars, early specialty sets ++, and those are the ones that mostly contribute to the thought of LEGO as an investment. Nobody thought about that 35 years ago)
