<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 8558525, member: 10944"]Nice set! I purchased a wealthy estates mahjong collection at an on location auction. Very old family, very wealthy. They acquired a handful of sets in the times they were made and used them hard it looked like. I think I had 4-5 sets and a bunch of tile holders/racks. Most were a little beat up and incomplete. Luckily the best condition set happened to have tiles made of the stuff that was a step up from bone in price. I didn’t know too much about the value of them when I bought them. I just knew I got a good price. I was surprised when the fancy one shot past 1k when I sold it. I have one beat up bone set left. I’d love to learn to play someday. Must be a good time judging by how many people around the world used to play it. That’s neat that you found folks to play with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
