ASE 25th anniversary set

Well, looks like the mint sold out in 4.5 hours:

I'm a big ASE fan so I've been looking forward to this set coming out since it was announced. Feels good man! I hope not too many people were unable to get their orders in when the mints site went down, I had to phone my order in because the website pretty much shut off for me.

I can't help but wonder if 4.5 hours is some kind of record! With only 100k sets it seems like the mint was setting itself up to disappoint alot of collectors. I plan on having mine graded. Fingers are crossed for a perfect set but I'm not counting my chickens.

How did everyone else fair out there? I haven't seen much mention of this set here in Turdland so I'm wondering if there is much interest in them.

The reverse proof is pretty sweet but my fav is the burnished S mintmark.
